Crisp Taste Test

This weekend my sister, brother-in-law, Warren and I all taste tested five new flavors of chips. Here are our thoughts:

Flavor: Cheesy Beans on Toast





I really like beans on toast, but I did not like these crisps. We thought they were too buttery and smelled pretty bad. Ranked #4 (after a huge drop from 3 to 4)

Flavor: Chip Shop Chicken Curry




Really flavorful, too much flavor to just eat by itself. Tastes like really cheap chicken curry (hence the name: Chip Shop Chicken Curry). Ranked #3 (after a very serious drop from 2 to 3)

Flavor: Pulled Pork in a Sticky BBQ Sauce



This one got mixed reviews. It wasn't as strong tasting as some of the others. More subtle but definitely tasted like pork. Not sure if I want my crisps to taste like pork, though. Ranked #2

Flavor: Hot Dog with Tomato Ketchup


One reviewer said, "I would only eat these again on a dare." That is how bad they were. They had a super bad aftertaste and tasted more like the dirty water used to cook hot dogs instead of an actual hot dog. All the reviewers really like hot dogs and would way rather just eat a real one than these crisps. Ranked #5 (dead last)

Flavor: Sizzling Steak Fajita


These crisps smelled like a sloppy joe but had a distinct green pepper taste. Overall it was pretty good. Would be much better if eaten with a sandwich. Ranked #1

Final verdict: After taste testing all the crisps we decided that they all had issues and we probably wouldn't eat any of them again. But it was interesting to try them!
