Co-worker had the Sriracha flavored ones and a bag of the garlic cheesy ones.
Observations:
- chips are thicker than regular Lays
- Sriracha reminds me of like chili ketchup, but it does have the nice burn at the end; it's pretty good.
- Garlic Cheese Bread... the smell of the 'cheese' is overpowering and the 'garlic' reminds me of sour onion. Not a huge fan.
Still need to try chicken & waffles.

You ever have those Doritos late night cheeseburger chips? Worse than those?

Chicken and waffles in the same bite is wrong.
I only eat a waffle with fruit on top.
Wut....chicken and waffles is amazing together.
Never tried them. Do they taste moldy to? 0_0

Finally tried Chicken & Waffles - I actually can taste both flavors, but I really like the syrup taste strangely.

Tried Cheesy Garlic Bread and Chicken and Waffles last night.
Cheesy Garlic Bread definitely tastes like... well, cheesy garlic bread. That said, it feels really weird to get that zesty taste from a potato chip, mildly off-putting. Still enjoyable, though; probably not something I'd serve a heaping plateful of, but okay to munch on in small doses.
I still have never had actual chicken and waffles, but the Chicken and Waffles flavor was really good. Basically maple syrup-flavored chips, which sounds all kinds of wrong, but tastes great. Didn't really taste the chicken part of it, but I can't say as I really minded. That scathing review couldn't possibly be more wrong about these.
I hate spicy, so Sriracha isn't for me - and yet, Murphy's Law (and seeing a widespread love of sriracha) dictates that this one will inevitably win, and the two flavors I actually give a damn about will go away while this one I don't want will stay. Ho hum.

I LOVE the Sriracha-flavored ones. The Garlic Bread-flavored ones are disgusting, IMO. I couldn't even finish the bag. Garlic bread as potato chips just did not sit well with my taste buds. It also left a bad taste in my mouth afterwards.
I have no desire to even try the Chicken & Waffle ones; they just SOUND like they should be avoided

Chicken and waffles was surprising good. More syrup tasting than chicken, but not bad.

Yep. I actually appreciated the syrup flavor more than the chicken spices.
I am Gaf's most accurate flavor tester, indisputably. Here's is the final verdict so a mod can lock this:
1. Chicken and waffles: exaggerated maple syrup flavor. Chemical aftertaste. Salt, no chicken. 2/5.
2. Siracha.: barely spicy, hint of garlic, ultimately pointless and Tabasco would at least have the distinction of vinegar notes. 2/5
3. garlic Bread: genuine garlic notes, potato overwhelmed whatever toasted bread flavor is in there. Best of bunch In terms of accuracy. 3/5

I tried the Sriracha flavored ones and it was pretty disappointing. They left a weird tangy flavor in my mouth and weren't hot at all. I didn't get to try the cheesy garlic bread but I would assume they are much better then sriracha because you would have to try really hard to fuck up garlic bread.

I just tried the Sriracha (still haven't tried the others) and I kept getting this strange undertaste for the first second or two that I could not recognize. After a few more helpings, I finally got it..........Smarties.
That quick amount of sweet tartness reminded me of eating Smarties, followed by next to no heat. I am disappoint.
