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

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.
