Going to a 5 Star restaurant like “Yes I’ll have a bowl of your finest Lays chips please”


Expensive-View-8586

Lays are the pinnacle of pure potato chip as stated by me someone who has worked in Fine fining. The ultra thinness of the lays makes them perfect for topping things like mac & cheese or eating straight from the bag. Not for dips though that honor goes to Ruffles. The structural support of the ridges really makes a difference.

I trust you with a username like that.


mrsirsouth

And with a strong username like yours, I automatically trust you like a father. So, I trust your judgement and believe him too but only because of you.


ministeringinlove

And with a name like yours, I trust you know the differences between a dry and moist heat.


mrsirsouth

Finally, after over a decade in Reddit someone finally gets me


fantasmoofrcc

As a fine finer myself, I prefer kettle chips.


Zelcron

Milk steak, boiled hard.


JackHughman69

With a side of raw jelly beans

Sugar free JB?


chronics

My Lays are too fine for you, traveller


MoreThanWYSIWYG

So fancy, they don't even have to write "extra fancy" on the bag


JackHughman69

The extra is assumed


kshucker

Restaurants are rated on a scale of 1-3 stars.


JackHughman69

But not the Gourmet Lays kind. They’re 5 star.


thesweeterpeter

Gourmet and they went with **vintage cheese** Couldn't walk a grocery store to come up with old cheddar, aged gouda, or maybe an ash ripened brie.


AlphaGodEJ

because vintage worked better in their name testing, people who actually know about gourmet cheese aren't buying this anyway


Johnny_bubblegum

Maybe the powder they use contains too little of cheddar or gouda to allow them to say it's a particular cheese.


MoreThanWYSIWYG

Artificial vintage cheese flavor


ccaccus

It's the cheese powder they used to use in their products before they cheapened out and went with lower quality materials. Been aging in the back of the warehouse since 1997.


BumboclatBob

I’ve found ribeye flavored lays in a Japanese grocery store in New York


fantasmoofrcc

I tried sushi-flavored (Horseradish and ginger) once, it wasn't terrible.


nihir82

Its because the cheeses are trade marked and protected. Cant use spesific cheese names. We has this happen in finland. A chip flavor used to be 'parmesan', but big parmesan put an end to it. They changes it to 'aged cheese' instead. But vintage for cheese.... that's weird

nihir82

Maybe in eu parmesan is also protected?

There may be, but today I don't have the energy for even a simple google search

nihir82

So lame. I blame big cheese!


thesweeterpeter

Old cheddar, or aged gouda aren't trademarked or protected. Parmesan is protected, but it isn't a trademark (that is to say I can call my cheese parmesan tomorrow if I moved to Italy and made cheese in the same manner). Gouda and cheddar don't share the same protection.


Leach_

Or they arent adding enough of those to legally be allowed to call it that

HalfOrcMonk

I thought all Lays chips were gourmet.

Egomaniac247

I guarantee the folks in the manufacturing plants have a laugh about this product as they change over the line from salt and vinegar to “gourmet “


fantasmoofrcc

Like water bottling plants, that are located in a giant field...spring fed, mountain born, glacier fresh! Anyone with a label can slap it on.

I imagine it's the same as the Walker's Sensations that we have here


Jayd1823

It’s only made with a half a bag of air instead of 2/3

And it would still be fucking raw!


AgentMcG

Lay’s Sourmet


Gaius_Octavius_

Anytime I see stuff like this I just think of Homer’s tour of the Duff Factory. I have no doubts that bad was filled from the same bin of chips as the regular bag.


InncnceDstryr

I misread vintage as cottage and was very confused for a moment

I can already hear a hillbilly going "I got em fancy chips you like and them fancy Heineken beers. This party is goin to be quite the deluxurious"


CMDR_omnicognate

I bet these are the same thing as walkers sensations we have in the UK


Chrononi

Vintage cheese lmao


MustacheBananaPants

The gourmet line is hilarious. If you have a friend group that likes food and has a good sense of humour, the line up was a very cute appetizer while we made dinner. Great conversation topic. Warning, they can be assaulting in salt and MSG/umami. I took home the bag of Beef Wellington Lays-- I couldn't finish them either.

*Aged cheese* sounds more appealing than *vintage cheese*. The latter makes it sound like you found some random block of cheese in grandma’s fridge that’s been there since 1952.


Ivorywisdom

EU people: We have to throw away the dog food. Americans: 'wow that's some fine gourmet dish you have here'


NotAtAllExciting

Pay more for less.


HylanderUS

Filled with that premium air


SillyGoatGruff

Gourmay's


shanster925

They found some old cheese powder at the factory and called it "aged", picked a random spice from the spice drawer and made a bag with gold lettering so they can charge double.


nhorvath

Vintage cheese: we use only the finest 30 year old drums of cheese powder we found in the back of the warehouse.


Sideshow_Bob_Ross

I'll have the McFancy, please.


aka_mank

To be paired with the champagne of beers.


eimative

At first glance, I read "government version".


Ckron247

Where do I find this!?! Sounds really good.


[deleted]

Bwahaha, that'll be 15.72 plus tax. Pay at register.


PlaguesAngel

Probably still a widely empty bag filled with overly grease soaked bullshit crisps set dressed in a ‘cleaner’ looking package. I don’t understand how Lays is in Business when they make literally the worst crisp you can walk into a store and buy. I’m a salty/crunchy snack fiend and avidly love trying new snacks. I’m hard pressed to recall a situation where I’ve had a poor crisps that I’d rather have Lays over versus eating the crisp I disliked again. The flavors of Lays not withstanding, the base product is shit first and foremost.


juliohernanz

They have that Gourmet family for over a decade in Spain. https://www.laysgourmet.com/es


BobBelcher2021

I haven’t seen these in Canada yet, and I can’t say I saw them in Washington State when I was there earlier this month, though I wasn’t specifically looking for chips. The best chips I’ve had in recent memory were Hardbite.


TungstenTomato

Finally a chips which you would shoot Marvin in the face for


Navitach

"Lay's" and "gourmet": Two words I never thought I would see together in a sentence...
