| 25.9.22 17:34 |  |  | Despite endless stories of supply chain issues, the Frito-Lay company still manages to deliver brand new exciting ways for a slurry of reconstituted dried potato to be pressed through an expeller and extruded in pasta shape. Here, then, are RUFFLES® RIDGE TWISTS™ potato snacks, available in BBQ and Double Cheddar varietals. Striking while the iron is hot, both bags tout a partnership with the WNBA (final game of the season was back in the middle of August) with the BBQ bag prominently featuring Las Vegas Aces power forward A'ja Wilson, while the cheddar bag features - um - I guess they couldn't afford another player. Having more familiarity with cheddar in the Rufflesverse, I opted to try those first.
Hey, they're pretty good! I was worried they'd just be a new form of thick Pringles but they had a pretty pleasant and hefty crunch along with obviously plenty of surface area for the "cheese" to stick to - much more than ended up stuck to my fingers. I was well into the bag before it occurred to me you might want to see them, so I snapped another photo. I will cynically note the bag contains even less/fewer product than the original ruffled chips (5½ ounces) combined with a suggested retail price at an insane-even-accounting-for-inflation $5.59 - of course I waited until I could get a "sale" price of 2 for $7. I would probably buy them again on sale. We'll see how exciting I find the A'ja Wilson flavour some other day. |
