Title: Lay's Limited Edition Flavors (2016)
Post by: Al Doggity on September 06, 2016, 11:01:35 AM
Just picked up some lunch and saw that this year's flavors were released. Apparently, they've been out for nearly two months, but I've been eating "clean", so they slipped under my radar.

This year's flavors are Chinese Szechuan Chicken, Indian Tikka Masala, Brazilian Picanha and Greek Tzatziki. The Greek Tzatziki is a holdover from last year and it tastes like vomit. Can't believe they brought it back.  It was even worse than the Cappuccino flavor. I bought the Picanha today. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't wow, either. Last year, the best flavor was Truffle Oil, imo. If they were going to bring one back, I wish it would have been that one.

Have tried all of these, best to worst -

1) Tikka Masala - Best of the batch, very good flavor, right amount of spiciness, etc....
2) Szechuan Chicken - this was pretty good, tasted as it should, but sometimes you'd get a chickeny chip that was too strong, and you'd get a burnt chicken taste.
3) Picanha - Meaty with salt, chili, and vinegar undertones. Bit too strong, you need to be in the mood for it.
4) Tzatziki - Meh, tasted very cucumbery to me. Definitely didn't taste like Greek diner type Tzatziki sauce.

They are passable and semi-decent.


You want a good chip, go with Utz Grandmas, the one cooked in Lard or Utz Dark Russet Gourmet.

Debating on whether to pick up the Tikka Masala. Kinda went crazy over the holiday weekend and the chips I got earlier were supposed to be a "goodbye gift". I have posted about my internal debates about sweets before and don't really have the same issues with savory junk food, but I bullshitted around that store for a good 5-10 minutes debating over what chips to get. Part of me just wanted to ignore them, but one of the flavors is always a standout.

Give you another tip.
1. Preheat oven to 400, middle rack.
2. Buy the best plain chips you can find or like, put them on a half sheet baking pan.  
3. Bake for 10 minutes until fragrant and oils start to come out.
4. Remove and season immediately with your choice of seasonings  (I have many ideas and many ways to replicate any flavor and how to make any kind of seasoning)

That way you won't have to fall for gimmicks.

LOL I guess if you consider this an insult it explains why you try to pass other people's recipes off as your own.  And I guess if you think putting a bag of chips in the oven for 10 minutes and putting seasoning on them counts as cooking, it explains why you think you're a good cook.  :-\

You really have no clue.

Sure, I could have told you how to make Potato Chips by deep frying, but there is no way in hell I can envision someone as stupid as you doing that.  Besides, the extent of your skills are choosing which shitty gimmick flavor the store has.  No idea why I even bother.

Exactly. He seems like a great cook to human garbage that thinks adding seasoning to potato chips is awe inspiring or idiots who are too stupid to google an enchilada sauce recipe. For anyone who cares to be a decent cook, it's one of the easiest things to accomplish.

Unless its Doritos, I usually make my own potato chips if I want some.  Companies nowadays use cheap ingredients for profit and fry him in complete garbage.  Not only that, its 4 bucks a bag.


Here's how I make mine.  I take an Idaho potato or two....dirt cheap.  A 5 pound bag is 2.60.  Then I wash and slice them slightly thick with the skin on.  Afterwards I'll fry him in some good peanut oil and that's it.  Add some sea salt and maybe some pepper of other seasonings as soon as they come out the fryer.  Taste better than anything you'll get from a store

It actually is. Before we were married, I told my wife I'd marry her as soon as she learned to cook. She signed up for classes at Sur La Table, and a woman who didn't even like microwaving Hot Pockets cooked an entire main course with appetizers after just two classes. Anyone with the desire to cook and the ability to follow instructions is able to cook relatively complicated things with very little experience. (For the record, I was already a very good cook. While aspiring to be Betty Crocker is a point of pride for you, the fact that I can cook well is just a reminder that I spent my 20s dating hoes that couldn't cook. )


To be a world renowned, innovative chef takes special skill, but to be a good cook - even an excellent cook- takes less talent than it takes to learn to drive a car. Wouldn't get into an internet pissing contest with some loser about driving ability, wouldn't get into one about cooking, either.

If you want to save money, that's fine, but what garbage do you think can possibly be added to potato chips? They are potatoes that are fried in oil and don't even need preservatives. Pic of ingredients brought to you from my very own gourmet pantry :

Are you kidding here Vince that is hella expensive. Is this the price of an avarage bag of chips in the U S of A?

It's actually not known that acrylamide causes cancer in humans. At best, links between the two have been shown to be inconclusive.

Also, earlier in the thread I clearly said that I DO NOT have trouble resisting savory foods. Potato chips are considered a savory food.

Yikes. Can't believe you wasted money on this gimmick. You could have picked up a bag of plain chips, preheated your oven, popped the chips in the oven for 10 minutes, added your own blend of spices and easily added half an hour of nonsense to a snack that is appealing to most people largely because it is so convenient.  ::)

The program is known as the Apple Seed.

Now obviously we are talking about software, so you won’t be getting any physical product. You will be testing pre-release software products on your devices, like the software used in your iPhone.


I am assuming the devices that the software would be tested on would be in ones home, just like you're testing oreo cookies in your home.

As far as Nabisco goes, they want real world results and I am not the only one providing them updates and data.  Maybe you oughta educate yourself on Consumer Product Testing.

So, there is no possible way for you to prove that you're testing Boston Creme Oreos for Nabisco?  On what date will you be able to post the pictures?   It will make for an epic cookie owning.   :D

You keep looking, emailing or showing a company what you can offer in terms of feedback and I am 100 percent sure you could find one that would send you hardware to test that you would probably get to keep afterwards as a bonus.

Not allowed to post any pictures, genius.Being in marketing, you should know this about products not yet on the general market.  I guess you are also oblivious to food and cooking blogs and relationships with companies and their respective products.  (I already knew this though about you, being clueless)

Like I said, the stuff you're saying makes no sense.

1) Food companies don't send out test products that won't be released to promotional outlets. They send promotional samples to  promotional outlets  during a promotional period. For food, the promotional period is almost never before the item is available. It's almost always as the item is being rolled out.  Promotional samples would NEVER, EVER, EVER be covered under a non-disclosure agreement.  

2)Food companies don't test their products in the kitchens of the general public. There would not be one, single advantage to having you test them instead of testing them on their own premises. There are multiple disadvantages.

3)On top of you claiming to have a new product, you are also claiming to have new storage tech. There is no way any consumer NDA would limit you from posting pictures,  but not limit you from describing the product or its new features.  ::) Especially since your real name is linked to this account.

I could go on and on, but it was clear that what you were saying was just bullshit anyway.  ::)

You may be asked to sample a range of foods, snacks and beverages—during tasting sessions in the day or the evening—at our Hunt Valley, Maryland, location or from your home. You’ll be paid, of course. How much depends on the type and duration of the taste test, and you can participate up to four times per year.
How does McCormick consumer testing work?

We pick consumers from our database who meet the demographic requirements for the product we’re testing. If you’re chosen, you’ll receive an email inviting you to answer a few questions about an upcoming test. After you answer them, our system will let you know whether or not you qualify for that test.
When do we test and how often?

We conduct tests Monday–Friday during day and evening hours. You can join the fun up to four times per year, once every three months. Once you participate in a test, you will not be eligible to be called for the next three months.

They're exactly alike.  ???  There are so many unforeseen circumstances in which a cookie could crash, that it makes perfect sense to home test them , exactly as you would software. Cookies are known for having a ton of bugs pop up weeks and months after release. I actually have some cookies in the house, but I'm afraid to eat them until I download the latest update.

My reply was actually sarcasm about your comparison of new computer software that controls appliances that reach into the $1000s to cookies with a different cream filling. As most people know (presumably, even you), Apple only allows employees to test hardware. The reasons are fairly obvious. How anyone could honestly think that cookies need field testing is beyond me, but...

The simple fact of the matter is NO company would NDA would ever allow someone to discuss a new product and new technology, but draw the line at pics. Which is beside the point because there is no such thing as a cookie field tester.

SOME people MIGHT be saying that. I heard someone wondering what kind of testing a home tester could even do on a pack of Oreos? Time how long it takes to eat them? Leave the bag unsealed and measure how long it takes for them to go stale?  Can you imagine how detailed the notes would be if you are a Home Oreo Tester? Can see why Oreo would  need to outsource.

Both,but my CV leans toward agency and that is what I prefer. I'm agency side now, but I worked at Smart Water a few years back. My last agency before the one I'm currently at was Interpublic. My primary account there was Microsoft and then I ended up moving to Microsoft. I've talked about how I would like to start my own firm on here before, but if I don't do that by the time I'm 45, I will probably focus on client just for stability. I have intentionally transitioned out of positions/companies on an almost yearly basis, though.
