Lastly!
So right here we’re with Lay’s providing honey butter-flavored potato chips within the US, virtually a decade after the flavour’s peak of recognition in South Korea. Ugh. Has it actually been THAT lengthy? That is the primary time a potato chip taste made me really feel outdated. Nonetheless, earlier than you run out to search out this, it’s best to know it’s/was solely out there at some Costco areas in Northern California. Yup, an unique AND regional Lay’s taste.
How common have been honey butter-flavored potato chips? Effectively, when it first got here out in South Korea in 2014, it bought out in shops. However you can buy baggage from on-line sellers for a number of occasions greater than their authentic worth. After I tried to accumulate a bag again then, they have been going for $50 on eBay. I assume you can say it’s essentially the most viral potato chip ever. Sorry, Lay’s Wavy Milk Chocolate Dipped Potato Chips.
So, is it price flying to Northern California to purchase a bag or shopping for one on eBay for 3 times the unique worth, like I did? After all not. However I believe it’s ok that I’m utilizing this evaluation to persuade Lay’s to make this taste out there to everybody all through the nation, however with a slight tweak.
When you’re in Camp No Candy Chips and have raised your eyebrows at these vacation Pringles that got here out years in the past or the Lay’s IHOP chips that have been on Walmart cabinets earlier this 12 months, Lay’s Honey Butter gained’t be for you.
The chips regarded like authentic Lay’s, however after dealing with a couple of, a layer of white seasoning collected on my fingertips. Their taste hit all the appropriate candy and savory notes that make me consider all of the honey butter-flavored chips I’ve had over the last decade from Korean and Japanese manufacturers.
It begins off with a nondescript sugariness, however then the honey flavoring comes round. The underlying butteriness hits about the identical time because the honey, and it’s considerably paying homage to what you’d style with buttered popcorn. However the style leans extra in direction of candy than savory. Honey and butter are listed as components, however above these two is sugar, which could clarify the preliminary sugar burst.
Nonetheless, there must be extra consistency within the software of the seasoning. A notable variety of them lacked the candy and savory punch that others had, which makes me assume these would possibly want extra seasoning.
Regardless of the minor subject, Lay’s Honey Butter Potato Chips are fairly tasty and I hope Frito Lay decides to roll out the flavour nationwide and never completely.
