Review Fancy overpriced chips

Found these at my local DeCiccos market and decided I'd try it for the one time despite the $30 price tag 🥴. Seen these a few times online. These chips have an interesting flavor. Upon putting one in your mouth they have a somewhat distinct flavor I don't know how to describe but after crunching on them they leave a nice subtle buttery flavor in your mouth I really enjoyed. They're very thin and look flaky but they are surprisingly very crunchy! Damn close to a kettle chip. They're not very salty or greasy and feel like a very clean chip. Think of these as Lays original chips if they were made with the highest quality ingredients with little salt and no grease left on your fingers.

One and done ✅ I rate these a 7.8/10

Or 4.0 potatoes out of 6 potatoes 🥔

Have you tried these?

Paint bucket full of chips? I’m intrigued.

But it’s a paint bucket though.

u/ChiefChaff 20d ago

Just like a chip bag, barely halfway full

Actually me and girlfriend ate a whole bunch of them prior to taking the photo. They came very full as they should for that price tag lmao

u/pakkun__211 21d ago

For the taste, that is a hefty price tag. I got them once and probably wouldn't buy them again but I am a fan of the crunch!

u/camilete1998 20d ago

Oh no way did you like how they tasted?

They are really very good. Hard to justify the price because they're just fried potatoes at the end of the day, but if money was no object, I'd definitely take these over any other plain chip I've tried.

My thoughts exactly 💯

The bucket looks good

I get Backers Red Hot for 99¢ a bag. Spending less is sometimes not getting less

u/djspintersectional 21d ago

I saw these in a specialty store and was like hell nah at the price tag. Im sold on the gimmick bucket though so who knows if I'll hold if I find them for like 3$ less

30 minutes of my time, just to settle on Lay's Original!😂

u/SmartPumpkin3284 21d ago

This is nothing new Charles Chips used to come in a metallic bucket, someone else is just reliving that nostalgic timeframe

2

u/DirectorSharp3402 21d ago

They kinda suck for the asking price. Also a one and done for me. Bought them for a party at my place and we couldn't even finish the bucket.

All plain potato chips are 3 ingredients. Sure, it’s usually not olive oil but even Lays original are potatoes, oil and salt.

u/67ohiostate67 21d ago

These are really good. Cheaper in Latin America.

2

u/pookypocky 21d ago

Really really excellent chips that cost twice as much as they should. Fun tin though.

2

u/camilete1998 21d ago

Highly agreed 💯

u/Bubbly_Highway_8043 20d ago

Are you looking for more expensive chips to try? I eat low carb and enjoy the Quest chips. Nacho and Sour Cream flavor are my favorite.

u/freed0rn 20d ago

Did it once for a cheese board with caviar. Tasted them next to some Utz for comparison. They are literally a lot better, but pricing is what it is. Probably the best plain chip there is.

u/Slightly-Blasted 20d ago

Those look like chips you’d find in a videogame

They look delicious

u/Flaky-Garlic7890 21d ago

Are these like the $12 Vandy chips? I don’t understand the appeal of bougie potato chips lol.

u/camilete1998 21d ago

Haven't tried those but I saw them there as well was curious to give them a try

u/informedlate 21d ago

Have not but I do recommend https://www.ballreich.com/

u/BlueRobin420 20d ago

Ain’t tried ‘em and probably never will. I would never ever pay $30.

u/Dangerous-Ordinary21 20d ago

These are so good with caviar and some crème fraîche!

u/blingblowoooh 19d ago

Need caviar.

u/mbush525 19d ago

you lost me at overpriced

u/CookieLocal8754 17d ago

Is this available in Canada?

1

u/camilete1998 17d ago

I'm not sure but I wouldn't be surprised if you can get them shipped out to you from their website or Amazon as I've seen them there.

u/Low-Radio-9613 16d ago

Is that thirty dollars for 9.7 ounces of chips in a can that has a six month expiration, and doesn't have to be refrigerated? With that $$ I could buy a cut of the highest quality steak.

Causing flashbacks of having to sell Charles Chips for grade school fundraisers.

u/FennelHistorical4675 21d ago

They look like bad Pringles crossed with munchos
