Lays Is Researching a New Flavor Chip With 4 Finalists....The One With The Most Votes Wins!!! ...Twist is Lays Isn't Naming Them!!!

Say what now? Lays Potato Chips is looking for a new flavor of chips and has 4 finalists out there for us, (John Q. Public) to vote on. The twist is, Lays isn't disclosing the names of the chips nor what they are made from, we have to guess at the ingredients and then name it. Wow!

Flavor #1: smells like roast chicken in a bag. It is a traditional chip and Taste: Very savory, almost meat-like in flavor. We noted hints rosemary, too. On the whole, the flavor recalls a Thanksgiving turkey. Said one editor: “I’d put it in a sandwich for a bit of crunch.”

Flavor #2: Smell: Whoa, baby! These chips have a smell that smacks you in the face, and not in a good way.

Taste: They’re a bit sweet at first, then savory on the finish. One taster thought they tasted like seaweed, another noted hints of a sweet pickle. No one liked them. “A seaweed-flavored chip is just wrong,” said one editor. This is kettle cooked chip. 

Flavor #3: Smell: Cheddar-y, but with beef-y notes underneath. “My first thought when I smelled it was ‘Big Mac special sauce’,” one editor noted.

Taste: These chips smacked of cheeseburger, specifically “the little burgers that came in Lunchables, or frozen White Castle burgers you buy at a gas station.” So, a far cry from Shake Shack. This is a traditional type of chip.

Flavor #4: Smell: Cheesy, like Parmesan.

Taste: We picked up truffle and Parmesan, which produced a deep umami flavor. There are also herbs in the mix, but we’re at a loss as to their identity. All things considered, most editors conceded that this was their favorite of the four. “I would definitely not kick these chips out of bed,” one editor cooed. This is a wavy chip more like a dip chip.

I think flavor #1 or # 4 will by favorite, just from the descriptions. I'll have to buy them and see. Let me know what you think? But I am definitely NOT trying #2. EWWW!!! Hahahahaha
