We’ve all seen these weird chip flavors, whether from Lays, Pringles, and Ruffles–some of these flavors are questionable, to say the least. But some are intriguing too. I know I have been curious to try some of these flavors of chips before, like Baconator flavored pringles or chicken and waffle flavored Lays–weird, I know. But I must say, the chicken and waffle Lays were so good–Lays if you see this, bring them back.
But what is really getting me crazy is flamin’ hot this, flamin’ hot that. Flamin’ hot dill pickle Lays?! I’ve never tried them, but that seems like it would be a party in your stomach after eating just a chip or two, if you asked me, a food aficionado who used to eat salt and vinegar chips with Fruit by the Foot–now that was good.
Some of these weird chip flavors work quite well. When I spent Jan Term in Greece, oregano-flavored chips were everywhere. Oregano for pizza is totally legit, but I wanted a Greek snack. Those oregano-flavored Lays were pretty… pretty… pretty… pretty… good, as my favorite anti-social comedian Larry David would say.
Okay… I will be honest here. I like maple bacon donuts… but apparently, the Kettle brand of potato chips has a maple bacon flavor… To you, that might sound gross. I’m like, is it really necessary for a maple bacon flavor? But I need to try these… I am not even sure if Kettle still makes them–but knowing I liked the Lays chicken and waffle chips, I might like these, but like so many intriguing flavors of snacks, disappointment awaits.
