Nachoooooooooo!

I was out the other day at the gas station and I noticed a display near the cash register. Much to my excitement, Lay's Canada have their seasonal promotions out!

The theme last year was Flavour Mash-up. There was Lay's Dill Pickle + Smartfood White Cheddar, Lay's Ketchup + Cheetos Puffs, and Lay's Bar-B-Q + Doritos Sweet Chili Heat. The first two weren't all that great, but the Lay's/Doritos was absolutely stellar. So much so that Lay's Canada actually brought those back for a little while.

This year's theme is Lay's Flavour Icons! They're taking some of the top flavours from other Frito-Lay brands and putting them on Lay's potato chips. There's Smartfood White Cheddar, Miss Vickie's Spicy Dill Pickle, and Dorito's Nacho Cheese.

And lemme tell ya somethin', brother. These Lay's/Dorito's Nacho Cheese chips are no joke. Holy SMOKES. They are top shelf!

I'm admittedly a Doritos guy. My top flavours are Spicy Nacho and Jalapeno, but I would say Nacho Cheese is a close third. But you put that flavour dust on a Lay's potato chip and woooo-eee, you've got something special.

If you really like White Cheddar Smartfood then you might love the Lay's version. They taste the same. I just don't find that flavour jives with a chip myself.

I actually really enjoyed the Spicy Dill Pickle Lay's! I say that, because I've had the Miss Vickie's version and it didn't do much for me. I just found the spice had no flavour. On the Lay's, though, there was a subtle spicy flavour along with the zing of the Dill Pickle and a decent amount of heat. I was impressed!

So, all-in-all I'd say this year's Lay's, summer promo is a hit. Honestly, the Nacho Lay's were enough to seal the deal!

If you can get your hands on them, I'd say they are all worth a try! You can get them in grab n' go or family size bags at just about any store that sells Lay's in Canada right now!

Munch on!
