In British English, we call potato chips "crisps", so this alias would be helpful for people less used to American English.

Would it be worth discussing whether chips needs a qualifier though? Searching up chips poker yields at least a few mistags when it's supposed to be poker chip, which is also what came to my mind quickly after potato chips.

We already have potato chips, chips should just be emptied already (see topic #14402 and those linked there)
Well certainly most chips will be potato chips, but I think it'd just make more sense to have a broader tag to cover all of different snack chips and not narrow it down to a specific type. If we need an alternative name for it, I'd have no complaints on changing the name from chips though.
We should at least have an alias for like chip_(poker) -> poker_chip and one for the UK meaning for chips to French fries. Also toss in a fries -> french_fries while we're at it.

remove alias chip_(poker) -> poker_chip
Removing this utility alias since it's no longer necessary with the new autocomplete.
Unfortunately chips (food) is still ambiguous because it can mean either pototo chips or french fries, depending on whether you're American or British. But this is qualifier Wikipedia uses, so I guess it can't be helped.
