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!!

Lay's Flavor Contest

Lay's Chip Contest has everyone running to try the new flavors and vote for their favorite flavors!  Everyone has their own favorites, some like the kettle cooked chips, some like the wavey chips, or the regular chips.  Either way everyone tries each flavor hoping to find a new favorite.  Our family decided we would try the new flavors!  See what we had to say!

First on the list is the Kettle Cooked Greektown Gyro.  Not much of a smell when you open the package, which was a plus for me.  I took a small chip, Chris wouldn't try it, Mikayla refused to try it and Cristyana tried it.  Tzatziki sauce was very strong, and there didn't seem to be any other taste.  Not something I would try again.

Southern Biscuits and Gravy is next!  Everyone tried it.  Mikayla and Cristyana liked it.  Chris and I thought it was alright, but we wouldn't go running out to try it.  The smell when you open the bag was interesting, not horrible.

New York Reuben is next up!  When you open the bag it is super strong!  Smells like a hot reuben sandwich with everything on it.  It tastes like a reuben sandwich, with extra, extra sauerkraut.  That's all you taste and then there is a horrible after taste!  Mikayla and Cristyana loved the chips and ate the whole bag.

Wavy West Coast Truffle Fries is last!  This was our WINNER!  I didn't know if I wanted to try it because truffles are usually really strong, but this had just enough flavor.  When I opened the bag, there was no smell that would turn you off.  It's a must try!
