Lay's wavy roasted garlic and sea salt chips
My mom ended up getting these randomly one day, probably just for the fact we hadn't tried them before, i know that's why i would get them. Though i also like garlic, so that would also be reason enough for me.
I was a little worried at trying them because they could of been really gross, how i feel about a lot of new things i try lol. So i finally opened the bag to try some.
I actually thought they were pretty good. Had a garlic taste but wasn't over powering for me. My mom didn't like the amount of garlic though. My brother who tried some was okay with them, but he'll basically eat anything unless it sounds remotely healthy(i think he thinks pretty much all healthy things taste gross. As he's told me before "I grew up on tasty food, so that's what i like"....we grew up on the same foods, but i still find a lot of healthy things tasting great). Back to the garlic, unless it's fresh garlic, i tend to barely taste garlic unless a lot is in it. Like i'll need more garlic salt on something compared to my mom.
I'm not a big fan on Lays wavy though. Sure they are pretty much ruffles, but i like lays for the thin chips. They just seem too different in the texture between lays wavy and ruffles chips.
If i had these again, i'd eat them but i don't think i'll go out of my way to buy them again. I mostly stick with the basic type chips because a lot of flavored ones i need to be in the right mood to want to eat them, not that they are bad, just don't always want flavored chips(unless lays, sour cream and onion, bbq, and regular are all basic chips to me lol)

Tostitos Artisan recipes Roasted Garlic & Black Bean Chips
Normally i just buy the whole grain chips because i like the taste compared to plain ones. I decided to try this one after i saw it when wanting to buy chips. I got it at Safeway, but i'm sure it can be bought elsewhere.
I ended up using these for nachos, i did try a chip plain to see how it tasted on it's own. It's not over powering in flavor. Hint of garlic and pretty sure i was able to also taste the black bean, hard to tell though. I think i still like the whole grain one better. These were fine for the nachos, though there is a powder on it, possibly the garlic flavor, and so after eating the nachos a good bit, then my fingers got messy. Like when you eat Doritos.
Summary
Pros:
-Taste isn't over powering
Con:
-Messy if don't clean fingers after each chip
Will i buy again: Probably not.
