“Ruffles are just corduroy chips”
The ridges in Ruffles potato chips are sometimes called “crinkle-cut” or “wavy.” They look like corduroy ridges, and some have called them (mostly in jest) as “corduroy chips.”

Wikipedia: Corduroy
Corduroy is a textile with a distinctively raised “cord” or wale texture. Modern corduroy is most commonly composed of tufted cords, sometimes exhibiting a channel (bare to the base fabric) between them. Both velvet and corduroy derive from fustian fabric. Corduroy looks as if it is made from multiple cords laid parallel to each other.
Wikipedia: Ruffles
Ruffles (known as Lays Maxx or Lays Max in some countries, Walkers Max, Walkers Max Double Crunch or Walkers Max Strong for the UK and Ireland markets, and Lays Ondas for Peru) is an American brand of crinkle-cut potato chips. The Frito Company acquired the rights to Ruffles brand potato chips in 1958 from its creator, Bernhardt Stahmer, who had adopted the trademark on May 11th, 1948.

I just heard someone refer to Ruffles potato chips as “corduroy chips,” and I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to not think of them that way.
