Potato chips/fries or potato chips/crispsThat depends what kind of chips you mean. People in the UK and the US sometimes mean different things. There are two types of potato chips. There are hot potato chips, also called fries, which are made from thick or thin strips of potato (if they are very thin strips they are often called french fries).There are also (usually) cold potato chips (snacks) also called a potato crisps (sometimes called game chips when served with roast game birds), which are made from thin slices of potato.For more information about both type of chips, and to see photographs of each (so you can be sure), please see the Wikipedia page links, further down this page, listed under Related Links.

Potato crisps (in the US they are called potato chips) are a snack rather than a meal.
A "weight-out" is removing weight from a retail package without reducing the price of it. This is often used for packaged food goods such as potato chips where consumers end up paying the same price for less chips.
"Crips" in French is spelled the same way as in English, as it is a proper noun.
