A Canadian term for chips and crisps.
Mostly used to refer to potato chisps but can also be used for other forms of chips and crisps such as corn chisps, nacho chisps, tortilla chisps, and dorito chisps.
The origin of chisps is a combination of crisps and chips because the Canadians took inspiration from the European term and the American term when creating their own.
Though some Canadians will still refer to chisps as chips, chisps is regarded as the correct term. This error comes from the fact that it says chips on the packaging of most chisps because they come from America where the correct term is in fact chips.
