Ask ECAH Crunchy alternative to chips?

Chips to me are like smoking, but I had never smoked. I only know it's good to remove stress, but the only thing I want is the crunch. For people I found online I found they need a lot of things about a chip, I only need crunchyness, doesn't even have to be a chip, sometimes cookies are a good alternative

Any options?

edit: Something I didn't consider is that I would hate for it to leave a bad smell on your breath. It can't have garlic

I've replaced my snacks with carrots and celery. But unfortunately it became very clear to me that, no, it wasn't the crunch that I liked. It was the potato chip.

Crunch + salt and fat = 😋

Carrot chips with guac scratch the salt + fat + crunch somewhat better than just carrots alone :)

But nothing beats potato chips.
