... and nowhere to go

Ruffles All Dressed




I wasn't sure what to expect with this flavor. They pretty much turned out to be barbecue flavored. Maybe a bit too sweet.

Wikipedia says that "All-Dressed" is "... a potato chip flavour popular in Canada. The flavour combines the potato chip flavors of barbecue, sour cream and onion, ketchup, and salt and vinegar."

The subtlety was completely lost on me.

Ruffles is the name of a brand of ruffled (crinkle-cut) potato chips owned by Frito-Lay.

Do the Truffle Shuffle!

Lay's Wavy West Coast Truffle Fries




This was the last of Lay's strange flavors available at the local grocery. These had a strong taste that I assume is what truffle fries taste like. Maybe it would help if I'd ever actually had truffle fries, but I thought they were just so-so.

Lay's is the brand name for a number of potato chip varieties owned by PepsiCo.

That Which Cannot Be Pronounced Correctly

Lay's Kettle Cooked Greektown Gyro




These were probably my least favorite of Lay's strange flavors so far (not counting the Cappuccino ones - those were just plain wrong). The "greek spices" taste was a bit too strong and there wasn't much of a flavor of gyro meat.
