Beware, this is not your usual, extra salty, bright orange, cheddar cheese seasoning used on the majority of snacks in this industry. A rich, white, creamy, slightly funky, aged cheddar seasoning liberally coated ever nook and cranny of the potato chips. The star of this combination is most definitely the aged cheddar cheese. Why no one has combined black pepper and cheddar cheese up until now, we do not know! So, why would these chips garner a ‘lip-smacking’ rating if we are not the biggest fans of the chips themselves? Well, the seasoning blend of course!! The unique, fresh take, flavor combination! Because the end result tastes unlike any other combination of chips that we can remember tasting in a long time. And, the majority of chips were unbroken and on the larger side. The chips encompass a subtle, underlying potato flavor, highlighted by the appearance of a few chips still sporting their potato skin. Imagine thick cut kettle chips gone wild! We like our teeth, we need our teeth! If you love crunchy chips, then these may be right up your alley. However, they feel more like a challenge for our mouths, than something to sit back and enjoy! The double sliced, criss-cross technique results in more fry-able potato chip surface area, producing an extremely crunchy potato chip. They are unique, that is certain, and we appreciate that. Similar to our thoughts on the majority of all things popped, we do not love the style of lattice cut potato chips. It is time for some new snack faces to dominate the crowd! And while we certainly shouldn’t call the waffle cut potato chip scene the next big trend just yet, it does become very apparent that it is at the very least a worthy contender when the big dog (Frito Lay) decides to hop on the criss-cross band wagon! Go figure.A while back we asked if there was any chance that waffle, or lattice, or criss-cross cut potato chips could be the next big trend in the chip world? Most recently the excessively POPular, healthier option, popped snack alternatives have controlled the recently arrived shelves of our local grocery stores, but in our opinoin, hopefully those days have come to an end. That’s all. And here I am…over a decade later, and the Pacers are my mortal enemy. When I got to college, my friend Darren also turned out to be a Pacers’ fan, so my fandom continued a little bit, but once I was away from home my thoughts turned away from assists and rebounds and turned more towards …well, college was fun. NBA fans, do you remember where you were when you saw this? Tell me in the comments. I remember exactly where I was when this happened: Through the 90’s I rooted for Rik Smits, for Dale Ellis, for Byron Scott, Mark Jackson, and of course Reggie Miller. So, I ended up adopting them, I guess to be contrarian (just as annoying then, as it is now). They played the Bulls a lot, so they were always on TV, being a Divisional opponent. But it wasn’t as automatic as you’d think – I mean, New York City was 5.5 hours away! I was closer to Toronto than New York City. Some of my other friends were Knicks fans. I liked him fine, but I didn’t live in Chicago, so I wasn’t gonna wear Bulls gear everywhere. Honestly, back then, how could you not be? He defined the league (and basketball). I never saw Laker games – it was always the Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, and New York Knicks.ĮVERYONE I knew was a Jordan fan. Anyways, despite it being only one channel, it was still localized coverage. Oh yeah, John Tesh! This is my and my friend Mike’s theme song. So I’d only get broadcasts on NBC complete with this song: There were no games on ESPN, ABC, TNT, or TBS. Growing up in Upstate New York in the (gulp) 90’s, there were only like 11 channels. #WizardsFever #TrevorA3333za #ImAChildĭespite me screaming at any player wearing yellow last night, I was, once upon a time, actually an Indiana Pacers fan. Sorry, everyone on Twitter who doesn’t watch basketball. Junk Food Nation, it may be only one win, but for now, the Washington Wizards are up on the Pacers.
