not all potato chip flavors are created equally

Filed under food at 4:30 pm 

Rachel and I are big fans of Salt and Vinegar flavored potato chips. When I was first dill pickle chipsintroduced to them, I was skeptical. The name doesn’t have the “wow– that would taste really good” appeal. However, once I start, I really can’t stop eating them.

Rachel came across a new flavor this week: Lay’s Dill Pickle potato chips. We decided to give it a try. The name of the flavor gives the same sort of hesitation as the Salt and Vinegar. Unfortunately, this time the hesitation is deserved. As much as I wish I could like them, they’re not good at all. I guess some things are meant to stay in a jar rather than as a flavor on a potato chip.

    I found these last year. My in-laws had them, and I had just a couple chips, and liked them. So I bought a bag. Then I discovered, that about 4 chips a day is yummy, after that it’s not good.

    I’ve seen catsup chips too, which are tomato-vinegar flavor. I didn’t even try them.

    Part of your problem there is the Lays brand. They make many fantastic chips with several great flavors, but they have not mastered the unusual flavors the way some others have:
    Snyders
    But for the best flavors you need Tim’s - you’ll love their Salt and Vinegar - and I heartily recommend the Steak and Onion.

    I should have followed my Fact Finding instincts prior to purchase. :-)
