Chips and other snack foods are usually viewed as a non-essential food item and are therefore subject to sales tax in most states.

Yes.
It all depends on your jurisdiction that you live in.
You could have a sales tax for your State.
Then your County, Parish, City, Incorporated town, or village may tack on more tax.

Depends on the state you are in. Some states tax food items, some states do not.
