Fresh probably is a better idea. Old chips would be stale and cold and possibly also soggy. Altogether not very much happening there for the appetite.

I've never looked at chips and gone, 'You know what these need? Peanut butter.' Then again I haven't looked at a lot of things and gone, 'You know what this needs? Peanut butter.'
