Lay's Cheesy Garlic Bread-flavored potato chips was the winner of the "Do Us a Flavor" contest and is being sold for a limited time.
I picked up a 9.5-ounce bag on sale for $2.50.
There was fairly pungent cheesy smell when I opened up the bag. I can't say it's the most appetizing of smells emanating from a bag of chips and had me a little bit leery of trying them. But as they say, "Down the hatch..."
The chips tasted eerily and surprisingly like cheesy garlic bread paired with deep-fried potato (of course). There's a cheesy top note and a garlicky aftertaste that's pretty interesting. The only thing missing is the warmth of toasted/baked bread and the gooey texture of melted cheese.
That being said, I probably wouldn't get it again. While I like cheesy garlic bread, I prefer the actual dish over a potato chip flavored like it. The tactile cues are one of my favorite things about garlic bread and the crunch of a chip doesn't quite make up for it.
Overall, while it's not bad and delivers on the promise of cheesy garlic bread, Lay's Cheesy Garlic Bread-flavored potato chips is the answer to a question I never asked. It amuses the taste buds but it's not for me.

Wasn't for me either. I'd choose the plain ol' boring Lays over these.
ReplyDeleteI felt they had a really bad after taste. Smell was kinda good from what I remember but that was about it.
ReplyDeleteI would never buy these again.
I like them.. if I had to choose between plain Lays or these, I'd probably stick with the plain chips too, but I wouldn't turn a handful of these once in a while. The flavor is a little strong for eating a whole bag in one sitting though.
ReplyDeleteI hate to be the bearer of bad news but Brownie Chew Gooder is no longer being made.
ReplyDeleteFor me, the garlic flavor was too strong, and I agree on the bad aftertaste.
ReplyDelete"...the answer to a question I never asked."
ReplyDeleteexactly
Out of curiosity, I bought a bag last week during a road trip. As soon as I opened the bag, my sister said, "What's that smell?!"
ReplyDeleteTasted better than it smelled, though, but I think they'll need to tweak that odor.
i agree. never again.
