Shearer's Home Run Hot Dog Potato Chips

B-Com Says:

This chip has it all. Nice, crisp and thick rippled chip texture. Many levels of flavor, from sweet to vinegary… somehow, they figured out how to get all the components of a delicious hot dog into the chip, and you can taste each one. As flavored chips go, this one definitely goes to the top of the list for me.

In fact, I liked it so much, I was afraid I would pound down the entire bag before J-Lam got here. So I started doing an informal product taste test among my co-workers. The results were unanimous. They would have all given it a terrific. I’m absolutely sure J-Lam will too, unless he’s a lame weirdo.

TERRIFIC!

J-Lam Says:

A hot dog flavored chip is an interesting concept, and I was really looking forward to another American fast-food inspired delicacy to the tune of past terrific Burger King Flame Broiled Potato Snacks. With that gastronomic memory top of mind, I dug in.

Unfortunately, I was a touch disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, the chips are good, in and of themselves and I’ll eat them again in a heartbeat. But they don’t taste anything like a hot dog. There’s possibly the slightest hint of a sweet relish aftertaste there, but that’s it. No more.

So are they good? Yes. Do they do what they say they do? No. And for that reason, I have to call them a

TURD!
