Cappuccino?! I think I'm going to barf, everything else seems alright

Also...Ketchup chips are disgusting

 

[Resident4t.]

Bacon Mac and Cheese? Why would you mix something delicious with garbage. Bleh.

I know, bacon overpowers everything.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

I don't get the aversion to ketchup chips. It's fried potatoes people, ketchup is only natural!

It has a lot to do with the fact that I can't stand ketchup.

The only one of those flavors that sounds decent is the bacon mac and cheese.

Wavy Mango Salsa
Kettle Cooked Wasabi Ginger
Regular Cheddar Bacon Mac & Cheese
Regular Cappuccino

 

[Ferrio]

I'm *shocked* this one didn't win.

 

[Praise the Lorde]

The Bacon Mac & Cheese one actually sounds pretty good.

 

[TheWarrior]

I'm kinda boring when it comes to the chips I like. The low salt Lay's are basically all I like from Lay's brand. Mostly just like plain chips or a kettle chip dipped in sour cream.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Wasabi Ginger is likely to be the best tasting of the four.

Keep in mind, these are potato chips. The suggested flavor on the bag is NEVER the flavor you actually get when you eat the chips. Barbecue chips don't taste like any barbecue I've ever had. Sour Cream & Onion DEFINITELY doesn't taste like any similarly flavored potato chip I've ever had. But the flavor I assign to the name "barbecue chips" is a pretty good flavor.

The flavored salt combination they're going to use for "wasabi ginger" is probably going to miss an actual wasabi/ginger blend by a wide margin, but I'm willing to bet whatever Lay's slid into instead is going to be pretty decent tasting.

Bacon Mac & Cheese is probably just going to taste like a saltier, slightly less tangy version of the Cheddar & Sour Cream flavor. It'll be boring, probably.

edit: Man, I would have DEFINITELY bought a bag of the Onion Bhaji ones if they were available.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

lays are terrible

There's always one.

 

[human onion]

I'm *shocked* this one didn't win.

Would have loved to go for some of that.

 

[DoubleD]

Bacon mac and cheese, wasabi ginger. Mine.

 

[Archpath1]

Isn't there a character on Big Hero 6 named
Wasabi no-ginger
Lol

Cool flavors will try them all

 

[Thursday War]

would've bought wasabi ginger if it was only wasabi flavored

ginger is woat

 

[Magnus]

As someone who loves Cappuccino and loves potato chips…. plz no.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

I really want to try the cappuccino. Like, it's irrational how much I want to be able to grab a bag before I leave the country on the 29th. Pray4me.

 

[The Real Abed]

There's always one.

Betcha can't eat just one.

Also, "Cajun Squirrel"? WTF?

 

[fierrotlepou]

Belgium/France?

Haven't seen that one in the Netherlands yet.

But we did get these recently!

Garlic butter baguette flavour

And oh man, we had Mango & Red Chili about two years ago but that didn't win sadly. It was so good.

Belgium.

Wow that one sounds amazing, worth making a trip north for.

 

[bigmf]

I voted for this one:

 

[BlueBadger]

They all honestly look like something I'd try. Except cappuccino dafuq is this.

 

[BlueSteel]

Hey hey, chips with ketchup is amazing.

 

[abolisher6812]

I proposed Deviled Egg flavored chips

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

At least it wasn't...

I had one of these once when I was a kid. Instant vomit.

 

[Cutreman]

I would like to try them all!

 

[The Lamp]

I'm excited and very curious for the cappuccino idea because it reminds me of chocolate flavors, which go very well with saltiness and potato chips.

 

[Mista Koo]

Are people seriously hating on ketchup? It's amazing here and probably the most popular. But then again it looks like it's not the same one.

 

[CornBurrito]

Probably loaded with MSG too.

Is MSG actually bad for people? I know some get reactions, but I've always seen it as the equivalent of "omg gluten."

 

[meltingparappa]

Short answer -- absolutely not.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Those all look like they'd be delicious. I can already taste the Cappuccino one and I like what my imagination is doing.

 

[KrellRell]

I've read up on it recently. Doesn't seem very bad at all, typical overreactions and herd mentality.

 

[Exterminieren]

Man, Crispy Duck and Hoisin crisps were far too beautiful for this world.

 

[Bladenic]

Super interested in the wasabi and bacon mac n cheese ones. Mango Salsa is delicious but idk about it as a flavor. Cappuccino sounds awful.

 

[QuantumBro]

Bacon Mac and Cheese and Mango Salsa are the winners for me. Cappuccino sounds like it would be awful, but I also hate coffee. Have they ever made an Earl Grey flavored chip?

 

[Shadow Hog]

Unpopular opinion time: I really like the Chicken and Waffles flavor from last year. Garlic Bread was okay for a bit but after a while I couldn't take 'em anymore (made me want actual garlic bread), and I don't really care for spicy in general so Sriracha was right out. But despite poor reviews, I really took to the Chicken and Waffles flavor. Somewhat sweet and savory, but salty and zesty at the same time. Presumably tastes nothing like the real thing, but for what it is, I like 'em. Wouldn't have them regularly, but I still tend to buy a bag when they appear once in a blue moon.

As for this set, literally none of them sound like they're for me. Pass.

 

[abolisher6812]

I just tried the Cappuccino and was impressed, it smelled great and tasted quite good.

 

[Anoregon]

Bacon Mac n' Cheese sounds good on paper, but it's the kind of flavor that never translates well. It'll just be an obnoxious salty flavor that makes your breath smell like fart.]

Kettle made a fully-loaded baked potato chip that tasted outrageously good/accurate. Strong potato flavor with actual hints of bacon and cheese. For whatever god-awful reason they don't seem to make it anymore.

This being Lays though, yeah it's gonna be dogshit.

 

[speculawyer]

None of those sound very good to me.

 

[Arcayne]

I love anything kettled cooked. Looking forward to the Wasabi burn

 

[PeskyToaster]

Kettle cooked > regular

 

[nomster]

Bump - Just sampled all four. Wasabi is the winner hands down. If bacon mac was a kettle chip it would have been a little closer.

 

[alvmew]

I've only tried Wavy Mango Salsa - it definitely tasted like Mango Salsa to me and was quite alright, but the aftertaste was weird. So probably won't eat again.

 

[BlueBadger]

This is probably a dumb question that I may already know the answer to, but these flavors don't come to Canada, right? :|

 

[Bobby Roberts]

CALLED IT.

Wasabi Ginger is likely to be the best tasting of the four.

Bacon Mac & Cheese is probably just going to taste like a saltier, slightly less tangy version of the Cheddar & Sour Cream flavor. It'll be boring, probably.

 

[The Lamp]

Holy shit the cappuccino ones are delicious. Perfect balance of salty and sweet coffee flavor and aroma.

Don't like the Wasabi ginger. I've never liked those flavors and they came out strong on that chip. Definitely felt the Wasabi burn.

I still have to try the bacon cheddar mac & cheese and the mango salsa.

 

[Timo]

Those Mango Salsa ones were hot garbage.

 

[LX_Theo]

Plain lays are still number 1 to me

 

[injurai]

Wasabi Ginger sounds fucking incredible

Cappuccino? wtf

 

[The Real Abed]

Bought a bag of the Cappuccino ones last week. They were so good I ate the whole bag. So good. I don't know why. They just were. No one else I gave one to cared much for them though.

 

[Sub_Level]

Oh god Cappuccino must be delicious.

 

[The Real Abed]

Oh god Cappuccino must be delicious.

I honestly think they are. I'll be sad when they inevitably disappear. There's something about them. But a lot of people think they're off putting so of course they won't win.
