Sometimes i don't use good judgment when it comes to what i choose to buy. Here is 1 good example;
I was on a road trip to Seattle (to see Black Breath and Walls) with Mike and Elizabeth H. and we stopped at some grocery store along the way. I saw these new Cheeseburger Doritos, and my first thought was "I bet those taste disgusting!". But as I was thinking that thought i found myself reaching out to grab a bag. One thing i hate is when i find a new flavor of chips but it's only available in large bags. I stood there holding a giant bag of cheeseburger Doritos and contemplated how bad they would be, and then went and bought them. And let me tell you, they taste even worse than i imagined! They taste like crunchy vomit. I put the first chip in my mouth and instantly regretted it. I quickly swallowed the vile chip and recoiled in horror at the taste in my mouth. After a minute i tried another one.... nope this shit still tasted like puke. Erin thought they were ok.... she said they tasted exactly like a McDonalds cheeseburger, pickles and all. But neither of us ate more than 2 or 3 chips. Avoid these foul tasting Doritos.
You wanna know what potato chip i like; T.G.I. Friday's Potato Skins Cheddar & Bacon flavor.
This is my go-to , no fail, potato chip when i'm in America. I may pick up random brands and flavors, but I always return home with a few bags of these tasty treats. The chip itself is thicker than a normal chip, and the flavoring is plenty. And while there is alot of flavor on each chip, it's not an overpowering flavor. The bacon flavoring is subtle, with more emphasis on the cheddar. I can not recommend this chip enough!!
Anyone have some chip recommendations for me? I'll try pretty much any flavor. And i love trying old staples like Salt & Vinegar made by companies i haven't heard of.

Ooh, chips - my favourite! I like the Old Dutch jalapeno cheddar when I'm in a "haute cuisine" kind of mood. Otherwise I prefer to shovel in handfuls of plain ripple Lays, preferably while reading a really trashy novel. (Shut up! Those NASCAR Harlequins are amazing...)
ReplyDeleteMmmm TGIF chips rule, Mom n Dad bring them to us once in a while if they have been in the States, those are some good chips, never seen them Cheeseburger chips before, and I like you would be buying them too, have to at least try them, thanks for the heads up, they don't sound too good,lol.
ReplyDeleteI had those cheeseburger flavoured chips before they released them as a regular flavour. A few years back they did a limited run of them as a "secret flavour" with a built-in contest where you could name them. We bought a bag, not knowing what we were getting into and quickly realized what they were going for (cheeseburger) and what they actually achieved (garbage). Maybe a year after that, Doritos had another one of those secret flavour/naming contest things and they were Mountain Dew flavoured Doritos which weren't nearly as weird/bad as they sound.
ReplyDeleteOh dude... check out this article. I think a trip to Japan might be in order: http://www.avclub.com/articles/tuna-mayonnaise-doritos-chocolatecovered-cheetos-a,39255/
ReplyDeleteThanx for the link Elizabeth!! I've been trying to convince erin that we should to Japan based simply around the fact that i wanna eat crazy food (and shop for records).
ReplyDeleteHey Shaun you can get the TGIF chips in Canada,look in Shoppers Drug Mart. I agree these chips are good but not as good as the Keebler brand potato skins mom and dad used to bring back from the states.
