Australian and New Zealand term for what the British call crisps and Americans call potato chips — thin, fried, packaged snack chips. The cold distinguishes them from hot chips, meaning freshly fried potato fries. A perfectly ordinary term in Australasian English, illustrating how the same word does different jobs across regional varieties.
