Do Me A Flavor - Lay's Chip Contest

http://www.fritolay.com/lays/

I was alerted to these chips a few weeks ago and I became intrigued.  I picked up a few small bags and tried them all with my bf.  We weren't sure what to expect from them and quite frankly we weren't sure if we wanted to know.

The first bag we decided to open was the Cheesey Garlic Bread.  The smell from the bag was kind of meh at best.  I popped one into my mouth.  It definitely tasted like garlic….. so much garlic… OH GOD GARLIC!  BLEH!  How did these ever pass the taste testing it’s straight garlic powder on a chip!  I can’t handle that chip, my bf on the other thought they were ok.  He opened the bag again a couple days later… he said they got worse and threw them away.  Cheesy Garlic Bread chips = NO

Next was the Sriracha.  My bf likes sriracha sauce but it’s a sauce that’s too strong for me and I can’t enjoy it even though I can appreciate its flavor.  So we try these chips out.  It doesn't have the same effect as the sauce does… it just tastes like a chip…..actually they taste exactly like a milder Flaming Hot Cheeto and would be good with a glass of milk…. AND THEN THERE’S THE HEAT!  Too much.  Way too much.  It builds up and it won’t go away.  I can’t handle these for very long.  My bf didn't care these at all.  These chips can safely lose the contest because we will always have hot Cheetos.  Sriracha = Meh

Lastly, the one we fear the most, the dreaded Chicken and Waffles.  I know some people were really rooting for this flavor to win.  Even though it seemed like a good idea, these people don’t understand the chip industry and how often they screw up... like Pringles screwing up the flavor of the Baked Potato chip… try to figure that one out because I sure can’t. 

Anyway, we open the bag.  It smells kind of ok actually.  We take a taste… Hey!  It actually tastes like breakfast sausage and syrup! No chicken flavor.  Friggin sweet!~  This might actually be the best chip out of the bunch.~  But five minutes later is a different story.  The aftertaste this chip leaves behind is horrible!  It’s more than an aftertaste, it’s a sensation.  It’s a feeling that bombards the entire mouth.  IT’S THE CHICKEN!  Imagine taking a greasy fried chicken skin, peeling off the breading, promptly placing the skin in your mouth, rolling it around and around with your tongue and then taking the skin back out of your mouth.  That’s EXACTLY what that feels and tastes like.  Chicken and Waffle chips = NO! NO! NO! DEAR GOD NO!

All these chips are losers.  We couldn't finish any of the bags of chips and I only bought the small ones.  I hope none of them win and no one gets the money from this contest.

DEUUEAUGH!!!!
