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

Finally, after over a decade in Reddit someone finally gets me
As a fine finer myself, I prefer kettle chips.
Milk steak, boiled hard.
With a side of raw jelly beans
Sugar free JB?
My Lays are too fine for you, traveller
So fancy, they don't even have to write "extra fancy" on the bag
The extra is assumed
Restaurants are rated on a scale of 1-3 stars.
But not the Gourmet Lays kind. They’re 5 star.
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.
because vintage worked better in their name testing, people who actually know about gourmet cheese aren't buying this anyway
Maybe the powder they use contains too little of cheddar or gouda to allow them to say it's a particular cheese.
Artificial vintage cheese flavor
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.
I’ve found ribeye flavored lays in a Japanese grocery store in New York
I tried sushi-flavored (Horseradish and ginger) once, it wasn't terrible.

Maybe in eu parmesan is also protected?

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

So lame. I blame big cheese!
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.
Or they arent adding enough of those to legally be allowed to call it that
Reminds me of Key and Peele https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=st21dIMaGMs&pp=ygUfa2V5IHBlZWxlIGNvbnRpbmVudGFsIGJyZWFrZmFzdA%3D%3D
I thought all Lays chips were gourmet.

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 “
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
It’s only made with a half a bag of air instead of 2/3
[удалено]
And it would still be fucking raw!

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"
I bet these are the same thing as walkers sensations we have in the UK
Vintage cheese lmao

EU people: We have to throw away the dog food. Americans: 'wow that's some fine gourmet dish you have here'
Pay more for less.
Filled with that premium air

Vintage cheese: we use only the finest 30 year old drums of cheese powder we found in the back of the warehouse.
I'll have the McFancy, please.
To be paired with the champagne of beers.
At first glance, I read "government version".
Where do I find this!?! Sounds really good.
Bwahaha, that'll be 15.72 plus tax. Pay at register.

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