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

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
