Chips AHOY!!!

Checking out the snack food aisle has been a highlight during our grocery shopping trips, mainly because there are so many different kinds of snack foods foreign to us. We have enjoyed picking out some and discussing what they might taste like. One snack item that has been of curiosity is the potato chips and their foreign flavours. We see familiar labels, but unfamiliar flavours. One particular Saturday when we both had the minchies, we splurged and bought every foreign flavour of the familiar Lays label, plus one bag of doritos and one bag of a foreign label and flavour. So, that is 12 bags of chips, all for under $10 Canadian. We ended up with sausage flavour, Italian Meat, Sichuan, Mexican Tomato Chicken, Texas BBQ, Blueberry, Lichee, Cucumber, Lime, Mango, D3, and Wasabi. We opened up all of the chip bags and poured half of each bag into a big bowl. We then ate the chips from the bowl and tried to guess what chip was what flavour. So much fun. The fun part was when we were surprised by a flavour. Expecting something salty and getting something sweet surprised us everytime. Or, then expecting something fruity and getting the spicy wasabi. I wish that I could have recorded our reactions. After playing our little guessing game we ate the chips left in the bag to see which ones we got right. And I must say we did pretty good. We then voted on which we the best and worst chips. The winner of the meat flavours was the Italian Meat. 
The winner of the fruity 
flavours was 
the Lime. 
The Absolute Favourite Flavour was the Wasabi.


And the Absolute Worst Flavour, we actually deemed it disgusting and threw almost the whole bag out, was the Blueberry.
