Product Review: Lays Potato Chips

Morning Chillibeans! I say that because it is unseasonable cold today! Also, because its one of my mother's words and it comes out every now and then :)

Last weekend I visited one of my friends for a weekend visit. On Sunday, we found ourselves bored and driving around her new town. At some point during the weekend I mentioned I wanted to try the new Lays Flavors but have not been able to find them ANYWHERE. If you don't know what the new flavors are it is a contest Lays started last year where they had consumers submit new flavor ideas the finalist would have their favor created and then America would vote. The finalist include Cheesy Garlic Bread, Chicken & Waffles, and Sriracha. As I mentioned I try to eat all natural but trying new foods outweighs that - this is a clear example of this.

My friend insisted she had seen all the flavors at her Wal-mart so we went there and no such luck....but she had another Wal-mart we could try...again no such luck.. and finally at the third Wal-mar (yes she has 3 ... actually 4 Wal-marts within 30 minutes of her apartment) we found TWO of the three flavors: Cheesy Bread and Chicken & Waffles.
We both REALLY wanted to try Sriracha as we thought it was going to be the best flavor but happy we found these flavors. Of course we dug in right away.
*This is us opening them in the car on the way back home
I tried Chicken & Waffles first. What an experience! First you get a fried taste, then a subtle sweetness, and then chicken. It was amazing it was definitely a meal in a chip. I was pretty impressed at their flavor profile and also that I enjoyed it! I've never even had chicken and waffles. I feel like it would put me in a fatty sugary coma but this was a good chip! Next was Cheesy Bread - not bad but exactly what you would assume not a cheetos or cheez-it cheese but a good pizza parlor cheese (Parmesan hints) and then a lovely garlic butter finish. Overall, I must say I enjoyed the Chicken & Waffles better. Still have my eyes out for Sriracha to complete my own Lays challenge and vote!

Have you had the Lays? What do you think? Also don't forget to vote here: Do Us a Flavor Voting ends May 4th!

Have a good day -stay warm Chillibeans!
