Doritos

Corn Chips – Guacamole & Salsa

This was my chip of the year when they were available - basically 2 flavours in a single bag. I love tomato based flavours, especially salsa and they totally nailed it. The Guac was more lime-like and an awesome foil. If they bring these back, do not miss your chance to get into them. Classic Dorito texture and form - so damn good.

Twisties

Nacho

They genuinely do taste like very mild week Old El Paso’s taco seasoning over a Cheese Twistie. The flavour is weak - almost indecisive with a touch of sweetness. That classic Twisties crunch and texture. If the flavour was weak at the point of crunch, it is even weaker post-consumption

Smith's

Subway Pizza Sub

Smith's get on a tear sometimes with their limited edition flavours, and I applaud their innovation. Good hint of tomato here but the prevailing taste here is oregano and while that sounds great, it does become sickly over time. Classic Smith's crinkle cut texture - you know what you're getting.

Tostitos

Smoked Chipotle & Sour Cream

Smoky and sweet flavour - moderate intensity. There's a little heat which builds nicely. I think a little less sweetness would be even better. The texture of these is awesome - thicker than a Dorito, similar to a Mission chip but almost a little 'fried' with some air in it.

Twisties

Cheese

Taylors

Ridge Cut Potato Crisps – Spicy Prawn Cocktail

Another solid entrant from Taylors - this is like a cross between Samboy Atomic Tomato and Smith's Salt and Vinegar. Good flavour, not too sickly or tart - they managed to thread the needle. I've mentioned elsewhere the Taylor texture is quite unique but very enjoyable: thick cut chips, not very oily, and a distinct potato taste.
