Welcome to the In The Chips with Barry previews email for the week of 12/7. Let’s get in the chips, shall we?
Arnott’s Shapes Variety Pack
Yes, sent all the way from Australia by the good folks at Treats From Oz, it’s a snack called “Shapes.” I’m not going to lie, that is not the most imaginative name but then again I don’t taste the name so we’ll leave it alone.
Three flavors here - Pizza, Barbecue, and Mini Chicken Crimpy. Yeah, not sure what I Crimpy is so I Googled it. Google’s not sure what a Crumpy is. My guess that’s a term Arnott’s made up. Doesn’t matter, looking forward to trying what are, and let’s be honest, flavored crackers.
Utz Red Hot Potato Chips
A while back I made an order from Utz online. Because the only way I can get them here in California for some reason. So far, they’ve fared pretty well. I kinda wish the “hot” was rooted in a specific pepper or combination of peppers but hey, we don’t always get what we want. If past performance is any indicator, these should be nice and spicy nonetheless.
Win Nuts Salsa Negra Potato Chips
This is a flavor I have never heard of before. They use Maggi seasoning sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chili pepper, and lime. I’m not terribly familiar with the flavor of Maggi but I do know it’s supposed to be like a more umami-packed soy sauce-ish kind of flavor. So, given that profile, I think it should be pretty tasty with those other ingredients. We’ll see!
