(Bad) Chip Review

This is a potato chip public service taste announcement.

DON'T BUY THESE!

Let me preface this by saying I'm a big potato chip fan. I don't even need dip to enjoy them, that's just how much I like chips.  For that reason, and the fact I can't eat just one, I don't buy them often.  

At the check-out lane in the grocery store lately, there's been a lot of buzz about the new flavored chips.  You do know that check-out buzz is accurate, right?  Every one was raving about the new Lays Biscuits and Gravy flavor.  They must be good because there was none left on the shelves.  All that was left was Reuben, Truffle and Greektown Gyro flavors.
I do love a good Gyro, so it just made sense for me to buy the Greektown Gyro chips.  I just opened that bag and shared it with my also chip loving husband.  I have been know to tell him to eat the chips one at a time, instead of a handful at a time, fearing there will be none left for me.  After the first Gyro chip....I gave  him the entire bag, telling not to worry about saving me a single one.  

We don't agree on every thing when it comes to food, but we are totally in agreement on these chips.  YUCK!  At first your think, hmmmm, this is a bit unusual.  Then you swallow it and it leaves an aftertaste that's extremely hard to describe, but it's not good.  I just read a review that describes them as tasting like bad breath.  That's pretty close, but I wouldn't be that kind.

You have been warned.  Eat at your own risk, I have an entire bag left minus the few we ate.  You're welcome to them.

  3. I have never seen the ones you mentioned. I do sort of like the sour cream and cheddar...although they really don't resemble sour cream and cheddar..which means they are probably very bad for me. but I still enjoy them occasionally. your friend donna who can't remember password to log into blog account.

  4. Yes - the Greek ones are NOT good. The biscuit and gravy ones are okay. But just okay. My favorite flavored chip - since you asked - you did ask, yes? Even if you didn't...my favorite flavored chip is the one your friend above mentioned - the Cheddar and Sour Creme. And once in awhile I will indulge in a BBQ chip. But...I like my chips au naturale. The end.
