I just ate some chips, the best before date said october 2018, will i get sick?

Doubt it: The "best if consumed by" dates on food is an attempt to make sure the taste quality is at acceptable levels. It is not like the dates on meds which could go bad & cause problems. On chips, maintained in original packaging, it would not become toxic, but might be stale.
