Foreign Potato Chips

Cam recently got back from South America and since she is the best woman to ever live she brought some snacky nyum-nyums for me to try. They were chips and I was excited because they were two flavors I had never tried before. I’ll start with the first one which was from Walker’s (part of Frito Lay’s). It was Pollo flavored and when I opened the bag I said “It smells like Chicken McNuggets.” I popped one in my mouth and immediately my tongue said “No! No! What the…?! Why are you doing this to me?!” It tasted like someone had taken a Vienna sausage, let it dry, mashed it flat, and put it in a bag. Instinctively my tongue shoved it between my gums and my cheek. Cam had one or two and put them down. These things were the devil and I cant see how anyone could eat these and enjoy them. They taste like fresh ass.

The next flavor was Hamburguesa a la brasa de Claudia (she entered for a chance for her flavor to win). I smelled the bag and got a hint of onion and ketchup. I slowly tasted one and was surprised to find that they were very good. Cam told me to try more than one at a time and when I did I got the full hamburger taste. I wish they had these here because they are awesome. The other flavors that I will never try because I value both ends food goes in and out of are Cajun Squirrel (nope), Chili & Chocolate (hell no), Pickle (maybe), Prawn Cocktail (lord no), English Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding (why?), Japanese Teriyaki Chicken (not never), Cheese & Onion (like being single much?), and South African Sweet Chutney (it tastes like reparation!). I'm waiting for Bile & Hurt.

Although they look good (Cajun squirrel, YUM!), looks like you got the southern United States Frito Lay brand (Walkers). The one from Colombia is called Margarita. Check out their site: papasmargarita.com.
And it looks like the BBQ ribs Costillitas flavor won. Pollo, the vienna sausage tasting one wasn't up for a vote, unfortunately. Its already a regular flavor. Ugh.

Pickle chips are de-freakin-licious. I even make them at home.

It was hard finding the right pictures for these things. Most had multiple chips at once in the photos. I should've waited for yours but I needed to do this while the strange chicken flavor was fresh in my brain. And how did that get approved for mass consumption?!
