Review: Paqui Tortilla Chips Grilled Habanero

Taste: These tortilla chips had an appearance similar to Doritos, with a similar color and surface texture, but they were quarter-circle shaped and each chip was quite a bit bigger than your typical Doritos. There did seem to be a higher concentration of bubbles in the dough than Doritos. We crunched in to find a nice crisp texture, very much like Doritos, and initially a zesty and cheesy flavor, but not much in the way of habanero heat. With a slight delay, the habanero heat arrived and gradually grew into a fairly serious burn. These weren't the hottest chips ever, but they were pretty hot. Definitely recommend a beverage or something cool to fight back the heat.

Aroma: Smells a lot like Doritos on first whiff, with also some sweet corn too on the second whiff.

Review: Ruffles Max Flame Grilled Steak

Home Subscribe Buy Snacks Chipworld Snacking Video News Gallery Yum About Us

Taste: These potato chips had smallish ripples, with a mix of light yellow and light brownish areas, plus some tiny spots of very dark seasoning. We crunched in to find that the chips had a thick cut and a pretty good crunch, with a flavor that was kind of like a steak sauce and some of the other seasonings for a steak, with the primary flavor being a mild onion taste. Tasters disagreed about whether the chips tasted like actual steak at some point during the eating experience, but everyone who tried these ended up eating quite a few chips. As for the "Max" aspect of things, the flavor didn't seem stronger or more authentic than other flavored Ruffles or other standard brands of rippled flavored potato chips. All in all, nothing spectacular, but pretty tasty.

Aroma: Strong. Kind of like steak sauce and onion soup.

"Meat! Since the days of the caveman, it's been in our genes. Man must have meat. And, Ruffles? Max? Flame-Grilled Steak flavored chips bring you that char-grilled meat taste that makes the caveman in you smile and want to club something."
