COMING SOON

can you handle these potato chip varietals??

• lay's "sweet southern heat bbq" - this name barely fits on the package
• utz natural gourmet medley or something - can't remember the exact name but i think there are PURPLE CHIPS in this bag!! i see it a lot in big size but only today found it at a turkey hill in snack size. also saw grandma utz in snack size and grandma utz bbq! i want to try these real bad but they have LARD AS THE SECOND INGREDIENT. so that makes me not want to try them, but i love the marketing scheme of grandma utz. alas.

hopefully i will eat these bags tomorrow

NACHO CHEESE BUGLES

I HAVE BEEN SEEKING THESE EVER SINCE THE ONE ILL-FATED DAY WHICH I CHOSE TROLLI BRIGHT CRAWLERS OVER THESE IN A NYS THRUWAY REST STOP.

A-PLUS SUNOCO CONVENIENCE STORE ON A ROAD THAT IS WESTBOUND FROM KING OF PRUSSIA, PA, I THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENJOY THESE CHIP VARIETALS AGAIN.

I WOULD RATE THESE A 5/5. MUCH BETTER THAN CLASSIC BUGLES IMHO, WITH A LIGHT DUSTING OF CHEESE POWDER (CHEDDAR, BLUE CHEESE, MSG, TOMATO) THAT I THOUGHT HAD A NICE TOUCH. FLAVOR WAS STRONG ENOUGH, AND WELL PAIRED WITH THE STRONG CORNYNESS OF THE BUGLE, BUT WAS NOT HEAVY LIKE A DORITO GETS AFTER YOU'VE EATEN HALF A BAG. COULD HAVE DEFINITELY EATEN A SNACK BAG BY MYSELF BUT HAD TO SHARE W CAMDEN.

ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM EVERYONE THAT MODERN DAY BUGLES DO NOT FIT ON ADULT FINGERS WITH EASE. I HAD TO PICK THROUGH THE BAG TO FIND WIDELY SPACED ONES.

PLEASE ENJOY THESE IF YOU FIND THEM ANYWHERE. YOU WILL ENJOY THE CRUNCH, THE SHAPE, THE FLAVOR, AND HOW NONE OF THEM BREAK IN THE BAG EVEN WHEN YOU DROP IT ON THE CAR FLOOR AND EAT THE SPILLED ONES OFF THE DIRTY MAT BECAUSE THEY ARE THAT GOOD. YEP.

~~fancy fridays~~ avocado oil BBQ CHIPS

yes, friends, you read that right. my favorite chilean lime bbq chips, which i have had again since my last fancy friday, i recently purchased in barbecue flavor. these can be purchased at the fu wah at 47th and baltimore for $2.99 as of monday.

as you can see, my original plan was to eat them with a boylan's lemon seltzer and a tofu hoagie (no jalapenos) but i did end up saving them. then camden & i brought these suckers to the mann on wednesday night, because we got free tickets to the philadelphia orchestra. love a picnic + love some chips out on the grass. honestly is that not a dream life?

i dont know how to rotate this on blogspot but i did figure out how to add a caption!

anyway, to the chips.
camden thought they were very good, but he has obviously not ingested as many chip varietals as i have. i would say that the bbq flavor was well crafted, a nice combo of smoky and a tiny bit of sweet, but not strong enough. more like bbq smoked than bbq powder coated, which i am used to. so take that as it is, and try to appreciate these on their own terms.
i am very curious to try the classic avocado oil variety, because i wonder if the avocado oil is too subtle to really shine through in these flavored varieties. as with the chilean lime, the texture of the chip is great. they are a good size, with excellent crunch, no injuring the oral mucosa, and a nice tooth. i really do like that a lot about these chips.

i am gonna go with a solid 3.5/5, the chip itself is good but i don't need to seek out the bbq flavor. i love the chip structurally, but i am a little confused about the minimal bbqness, but maybe it just takes some warming up to.
