REVIEW- Lay's Chicken and Waffles Potato Chips


Recommended Posts

Well, with all these Neowin nerd reviews here for hardware and software, why not give a review on the snacks that keep us going..

 

I picked these up today while at the local Valero gas station, getting some snacks for my pending all night editing session, was just going to get my standard Honey BBQ chips, but decided that Im a glutton for punishment, and if I dont like them, I lost $1.50.

 

At first taste, you dont even taste the potato, you are immedately hit with a Maple syrup flavored Eggo waffle, and as you continue chewing, you get a slight hint of Fired Chicken, not like KFC or Popeye's, but more like the frozen Tyson kind you find in a Swansons TV Dinner.

 

Finally as you swallow, you finally taste the potato in the chip.

 

I am sold on them however, and hope this isn't a limited time promotion, I will try the "Cheesy Garlic Bread" next, but I am not touching the Saracha flavored chips, as I hate saracha sauce....

 

Availability = Any Major Grocery Store

Price = $1.49USD for the small bag $3.49 for the big bag

Ease of use = Open bag, remove chip, insert in mouth

Not compatibile with diabetics or people with high sodium levels.

Being from the South, that flavor is one of our foods anyways, so we have had them for a while.  They are in most of our snack machines now. Personally they are decent, but not the best. I like the Cheesy Garlic Bread better. 

Those have been around for quite a while in my area. I think they taste absolutely atrocious and the idea of having actual chicken and waffles was not only odd but didn't sound good to me. It's like the difference of having steak and fudge sunday together instead of a baked potato but that's me. I didn't grow up eating chicken with a side of waffles, rather we had something like corn, green beans or maybe mashed potatoes with chicken. How about cereal and chicken?

i've tried chicken and waffles, and it was alright, but i'm definately one that likes my salty foods away from my sweet foods.  like my wife loves syrup on bacon or sausage when having pancakes, but to me, BLEEECCH

 

so, the chips don't sound appealing to me

 

now, the garlic cheesy ones, i'll give those a try!

Hello,

 

I actually got a small bag of the Cheesy Garlic Bread ones last month, and wasn't too impressed with them.  The flavor was not exactly what I expected (more of a buttery parmesean) , but was okay.  However, the crisp texture and wafer-like thickness of the chips was more off-putting to me.

As an American, I think my self-depricating humor went right over your head

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
