2016 Lay's Chip Competition


Every year Lay's has contest to create a new flavor of chips.   This year we purchased all four and sat around the table and tried all of them.  These are the four chips for this year.

Wavy Greek Tzatziki - You could smell the tzatziki sauce, which was kind of a turn off for the kids.  The minute you put this chip in your mouth there was a sour diary taste.  This taste went away as you finished the chip, but left a not so great flavor in your mouth after.

Chinese Szechuan Chicken - When we opened the bag, you could smell the Szechuan chicken dish from the Chinese restaurant.  After tasting it, it wasn't too bad, the flavor was not as bold as it should be, but the flavor was there. It was a little spicy but not overpowering.

Brazilian Picanha - The smell of a Brazilian steak house filled the area when we opened this bag.  The flavors how ever were not as bold as a Brazilian steak house.  You could taste the seasoning that are used on steaks in restaurants, which gave us a mixed reaction.

Kettle Cooked Indian Tikka Masala - The smell of these chips reminded us of this Indian dish.  The smells of curry was strong.  It wasn't as spicy as you would have expected for indian food, or even by taking a sniff in this bag.

Overall we most of us were not impressed with this years offerings.  Some flavors are not meant to be made into chips and these are four that should not have been.

However, one of us had a favorite and after thinking about it, if we had to choose we might have agreed with her.  Can you guess which one was picked??















Cristyana chose the Chinese Szechuan Chicken which surprised us because she is the pickiest eater in the house. She finished off this bag of chips and keeps asking for more.

If you have done this challenge let us know what your favorite is!!
