Due to my love of wasabi, I was anxious to try these. Upon first bite, I get the distinct albeit mellow burn of wasabi followed by a succinct and complimentary ginger flavor bridged together perfectly with a subtle soy sauce flavor. You get two different burns...one in the back of your throat from the wasabi, then one on the front of your tongue from the ginger. The burn is extremely gentle, making these chips more enjoyable for everyone. The soy sauce is the Jam Master Jay to the Wasabi and Ginger's Run DMC. These chips are addicting! Definitely a chip that stands by itself and should be eaten alone. 4.5 outta 5 on the chip mack scale.
Wasabi is the shit, son! I love that teary eyed sinus burning rush you get when it hits the back of your throat just right. I mix it in my soy sauce when eating sushi (a faux pas but fuck it...I thug out like that). I make a BOMB onion ring sauce by mixing wasabi, ketchup, and mayonaise. Try it...I promise you'll thank me for that recipe! Wasabi...the magical root.

I'll try anything once. In all of my adventures as The Chip Mack I've never not finished a bag of chips. These may be the first. I think the Mango Salsa flavor is Lay's middle finger to the public so we can learn NEVER to ask them to put a fruit flavor on a potato chip EVER again.
Upon first bite...forget that...upon opening the bag the aroma of mango hit me in the face like that dude hit Snooki at the club. Incredibly strong mango flavor up front although there is a nice subtlety of spice underneath. The first bite was repulsive. The second bites were better as the mango flavor subsided and the notes of onion and tomato ventured more to the forefront of my palate. After awhile however, these tatse like bbq chips with mango flavored candy on top. I did not enjoy these. 1.75 outta 5 on the chip mack scale. I'm not a super fan of coffee. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I'm sensitive to caffeine and shit. It makes me jittery, and I swear it makes girls taste funny. Think the opposite effect of pineapple juice and I think you'll catch my drift. So ladies, if your man ain't (rhymes with "beating you out"), you may wanna lay off the Starbucks. And please don't fret, I won't be doing a coochie taste test review site anytime soon...Im just saying.
Anyway, this flavor is the first I'm trying of the 2014 Lay's Do Us A Flavor contest. Cappuccino! Upon first bite, I get an amazingly accurate, almost overwhelming taste of the coffee flavor follwed by an equally strong taste of cinnamon with hints of brown sugar and a buttery finish. I'm guessing the cinnamon is so strong to balance out the strong coffee flavor. Surprisingly, these flavors work well on a chip. These taste almost identical to the Chicken and Waffle flavor last year. Just replace the chicken flavor with coffee and you have Lay's Cappuccino flavored potato chips. I liked them more than I thought I would, but theses lack "re-eatability." 2.75 outta 5 on the chip mack scale. On the advice of a friend, I tried these. I've seen these Ruffles Fries for a while. Like a tan girl in booty shorts with a pony tail, they caught my eye, but I figured there'd always be time to try them later. Procrastination, my biggest enemy. There are so many pony-tailed big booty chicks I should've hollered at but didn't because I waited. Girl with the lip gloss in front of me in Albertsons, I'm sorry. It's my fault you missed out on a chance to meet all this man. These chips could've fell along those lines too. I'm glad my friend nudged me enough to want to go out and try them!
These are pretty good! Upon first bite, these are a lot more zestier than I imagined. immediately I get hints of garlic and onion flavors along with fantastic sharp cheddar cheese holding it all together. That's a potato chip secret, dress up your flavors with shit you know compliments your main flavor. The cheese is Michael Jordan...the garlic and onion...Scottie Pippen. The texture is a lot more solid than Chester's Fries, providing a good crunch but not so rough that it shreds the inside of your mouth. The back of the bag suggests you try them hot. I did. The flavors definitely pop more when heated in the microwave. 4 outta 5 on the chip mack scale. My taste test of the Doritos Test flavors is now complete. There is no contest....the Test Flavor 855 is by far the winner! Although they left my clothes covered in red powder and constantly answering the question "What's up Blood?" all day, I super enjoyed these.
Upon first bite, I get a spicy vinegary flavor with a superbly deliciously smooth sour cream essence followed by a mellow spicy kick. If I had to guess the flavor it'd be loaded spicy taco. These almost taste like a cross between the Jacked Enchilada and Buffalo Ranch flavors. GREAT flavors that hit you like a jab-elbow-uppercut combo. Just make sure to bite these with your eyes closed because they are so heavily seasoned the powder gets everywhere....including your eyes. I learned that the hard way. 3.75 outta 5 on the chip mack scale. |
