Lay's Salt & Vinegar Chips

Do I like Lay's chips? Not really. Do I like salt and vinegar? Not really. But somehow the badnesses cancel out, making this basically a fine snack. I got it from a vending machine, so it was also expired (lol) but that didn't seem to have a negative effect. For all I know, it had a positive effect. These are pretty thin, you can't really taste the cat litter vibe, and it's more vinegary than salty. It's not terrible.

Lay's Doritos Cool Ranch Flavored Potato Chips

The existence of this product is kinda fucked up, but I guess I did like the Dunkin' flavored goldfish. Anyway, unlike the cool ranch dorito dip, these guys actually taste like ranch. Luckily they don't also taste like dorito. Just salty ranch powder, kind of like the ranch chicken in a biscuit crackers. I don't love ranch, as discussed previously, but I do like that there is a lot of strong seasoning which covers the Lays flavor completely (which I more than don't love....I dislike). No corn chip flavor either, just oily, butter, salt, chip. Cute speckles on there too: black, red, AND green? It's like a christmas cookie! Better in dip though.

Lay's Wavy Jerk Chicken Chips

Lay's? More like Not Okay's. These taste like corn chips with cinnamon sugar on them, which is very weird and not what I like at all. Is that what jerk chicken tastes like? I didn't think so, but if it is, that's nasty.

Lay's Crispy Taco Chips (2017 Limited Edition)

Yes, this review is 4 years late. No, I don't want to talk about it. Anyway, even though we all know I hate Lay's chips, I do like the limited flavor promotions they do/did. And these were pretty darn accurate to a taco bell ground beef-corn shell taco with cheese and sour cream. It smells not great, but the taste is good (if you like the aforementioned taco). I enjoyed them, although about halfway through the bag I began to enjoy them a lot less, so perhaps they're more of a novelty. But still tasty.

Lays Kettle Cooked Extra Honey Habanero Chips

Although these look like they would be tasty from the packaging, long-time readers will know that Lays chips all taste like cat litter to me. Truly unappetizing, and these are sadly no different. They do have a light BBQ/cheese flavor to them, but mostly gross Lays flavor. Tragic.

Lay's Flamin' Hot Dill Pickle Chips

Why is this a thing? God only knows. I'm very sick right now, so hot chips are probably not the best food to have. But at least they make me taste/feel something! They are actually pretty flamin' (hot). Is this good? Probably, because it covers up the Lay's cat litter taste as well as the (pretty accurate) flavor of dill pickle. Of course, I do not like dill pickles. I guess it's just vinegar and dill seasoning. Regardless, these leave a strong pickle aftertaste and a burning in my throat. If you like this, dive in!

Lay's Fried Green Tomato Chips

Yikes! I like trying the fun new flavors Lay's periodically comes out with, especially because they usually have the small bags of them available at Subway, where I guess I spend a lot of time. But this year's offerings didn't wow me. First up we have these fried green tomato chips, which sounded good, but instead had a strong flavor of...plant? Tomato stem? I'm not sure, but I don't like it, and it didn't really taste like tomato. I did get that Lay's cat litter vibe, too. On the plus side, the ruffles are fun! And, inexplicably, my boyfriend likes these.

Lay's Cheddar Bacon Mac & Cheese Chips

Damn, these were a little disappointing (especially after those BLT ones were so good). Did not taste especially like Bacon or Mac and Cheese. Just cheddar powder flavored, really. Maybe a tiny hint of smokeyness if you're really looking. As a chip, they're average, but not bad -- like a cheddar chip (like those Ruffles ones that are in vending machines across America). But as a new flavor, it let me down. It let us all down.

Cappuccino Lay's Potato Chips

New flavors! Exciting stuff! OK, so these are very interesting. It's a hard thing to make a chip flavored like a drink....these don't taste a ton like coffee, really, more like sugar and cinnamon. And a little potato chip. It's not bad, in my opinion. A nice sweet snack. Like Taco Bell's Cinnamon Twists! So I don't hate it, but I wouldn't want it "on the reg" either -- it's not much of a snack food.

Lay's Cheesy Garlic Bread Chips

New Lay's Flavors excite me greatly, even though their basic chip tastes like cat litter to me. I loved their BLT chip (it really tasted like a BLT!) and so I was curious about these. I like garlic bread, and these did taste a lot like garlic bread, but it turns out that a garlic bread chip is not something the world needs. I would much rather have garlic bread, and ultimately I couldn't eat more than a few of these.

Barbeque Baked Lays Chips

For some reason, I've always thought that Lay's chips tasted like cat litter. It's just a very distinctive taste which I imagine cat litter to have; maybe I was eating Lay's and smelling some fresh cat litter, I don't know. Anyway, I really hate Lay's chips because of that. But I like BBQ chips, and these seemed pretty healthy for chips, and I needed SOMETHING to go with my Subway sandwich.

ANYWAY ignoring that super distinctive taste, these aren't half bad. They are big circles that are hard to bite, but I like the flavoring. And a good crunch is had. The bag isn't very full either, as per chips. But I liked it. I'll probably buy again.

Lay's Classic BLT chips

These chips taste like a BLT sandwich. Like, literally, they taste like bacon and mayonnaise. Maybe a little toast in there. It's pretty impressive! Lay's is my least favorite brand of chips because I think the original ones taste like cat litter, so I was all the more impressed that these are pretty tasty in addition to being a novelty. I might buy them sometimes!

Taste: 8/10

Laura says: I really like these chips and I'm shocked that I like them so much. They taste a lot like a real BLT would taste, which is delicious. They don't have a fake smoky flavor that most things which are supposed to taste like meat have. 8/10.
