I'm surprised you didn't submit a Bud-Lite flavor.

I don't do Facebook so I can't enter, but if I were in charge of Lays, I'd
invent potato chips that were bacon (and eggs) flavored and create a new niche
market in breakfast chips.

Bacon-flavored chips have been done. I think you first have to
see what exists, e.g., in the UK. They have some interesting
flavors there.

I like potato chips a lot and I've tried many of the flavored ones but
of all I tried I'd not buy any again... the seasoning always
completely overwhelms the potato chip flavor. I like plain potato
chips... for me the choice is between classic cut and ripple cut, I
like both equally. The lo/no salt chips are just stupid. I don't
like dips with potato chips, I like them plain. I think the
$1,000,000.00 winner should be plain potato chips with a real potato
flavor.

[tert in seattle]

it would be awesome if they could invent an artificial potato flavor
that could be added to potato chips ... they could call it artificially
plain flavored potato chips

I usually prefer plain ones. I once ate BBQ ones and actually liked them.
I must have been really hungry or something. I haven't liked them since. I
do like the lime ones but can only eat a few at a time. Potato chips are
not my favorite though. I prefer corn chips.

Maybe they already do. Most folks have never tasted a fresh dug
potato... they lose their earthy flavor and aroma fast. My next door
neighbor grows potatoes and always brings me some as soon as he
harvests them, I eat them that day as soon as possible. I found the
best way to cook those potatoes that preserves their earthiness is to
simmer them in their skins, then I smush them and eat them plain with
just a little salt. He harvests them as new potatoes so they are
small and thin skinned. As soon as they're smushed the aroma is
potent, like wild mushrooms. Since my neighbor only grows a small
plot of potatoes and he shares with other people I get like two
pounds, I eat them all in one sitting, my once a year fix. He grows
onions and garlic too so I get some of that harvest also. He gets the
produce I grow that he doesn't; winter squash, cabbage, hot peppers,
and whatever else I have to share.

Potato, corn and plantain chips are my favorite, but I can not remember
if I ever had sweet potato chips. I have had cassava and beetroot chips.

Okay, molasses flavored breakfast chips (with or without bacon)

Maybe go ethnic and have a Lox flavored one

That might not be bad if you can reconstitute them in oil and butter.

[Cheryl]

After the thread about popcorn flavoring, I made a bag and seasoned it
with just a touch of Old Bay.

I'm with Shel about just plain potato chips though.

[Cheryl]

I've never tried kale chips. I keep seeing them on cooking shows and
mean to try them sometime.

Ah! Like Dirty Potato Chips. http://www.dirtys.com/

(They used to be made in Memphis, I have no idea where they make them
now.) Their marketing gimmick was they didn't rinse the potato slices
before frying them so they tasted like... wait for it... potatoes! The
plain lightly salted chips were really good. Like you, I don't care for
a bunch of seasonings on potato chips. Ripple cut chips bug me. I
can't explain why other than to say it's akin to hearing fingernails
scraping on a chalk board. They just set my teeth on edge.

I entered tons of contests as a kid. The only one that I ever won was a
birthday party at a steak house. As a kid, one of my favorite foods was a
steak. Go figure. I hated hamburgers and french fries but that is what
they served us for our meal. I think we could have had a hotdog but I hated
those even worse. I did love the topper on my cake though. It was a
ballerina and she spun around and around when you blew on her as you would
have to do to blow out the candles.

She didn't last very long. I had a very klutsy friend who managed to break
a lot of my things. That was among them. She also had a very weird habit
of just leaving very quickly when something broke. She never apologized or
admitted to breaking the thing. So whenever she left in a hurry like that I
would have to look for the damage. And she wouldn't leave right away
either. She'd wait until I went to the bathroom or she would ask for a
snack or a drink and then when I was in the kitchen, she'd leave.

There were a couple of good things about this friend. They always had a
huge tub of licorice bites on their coffee table. Both black and red mixed.
It was always fresh. And they always had those litte Laughing Cow cheese
cubes in the fridge for snacks. Do they even make those any more? They
also had a huge fridge with an ice maker. In those days I didn't know
anyone else with an ice maker.
