Pringles - Sour Cream TORTILLA CHIPS

28/4/2015

New from Pringles for the summer, a range of tortilla chips a la pringle disc.

I have to start off by saying that I've never been that big a fan of the flavoured pringles, the original makes the cut for me but I find the flavours a little sickly and I've never figured out why.

Here I've had the same impression at first, the crisps are their usual thin but crunchy self, but with a nobbly corn texture. Still not so that they will take the weight of a hefty portion of salsa dip that tortilla chips are so well known and made for. 

The flavour starts off in the usual pringles way for me, a little sickly... but as I go on - they're growing on me, sour cream (or cool original) is a flavour I've always liked and it's almost as if... once you've popped.. I don't know, it's maybe that you just can't stop? (shout out to 90s crisp fans out there)


I'd choose Doritos cool original over these i'm afraid.

Phileas Fogg cool sour cream & onion
Mexican taco rolls.

Mmm creamy! I'd say Doritos cool original but a little creamier. 

Crisp is a really interesting shape. Taco rolls are pretty crunchy and have a very similar consistency to Doritos. They make for great dipping tools. 

Really like these. New range from Phileas Fogg is looking really impressive.

TGI Fridays - Potato Skins, Cheddar & Sour Cream

TGI Fridays - cheddar & sour cream potato skins.

I wasn't sure whether to put these in the around the world section or the reviews. I found them in Boston Airport, but a good while ago they used to be available in the UK and I loved them then so they're going into reviews even though second taste was in the US.

These are actually made from the skins of the potato, and so they have an excellent crunch to them, one side of the crisp is dark and one is light.

The flavour is intense and full. The cheddar is strong and the sour cream adds a nice creamy touch. 

Salt content is maybe a little high but it's a good tasty crisp with an excellent crunch

Kettle Chips - Sour Cream & Sweet Onion

Eh? Why does it say new on my pack? Kettle Chips lay low on a flavour and then re-release it.

Still, a good crisp as expected from Kettle Chips. It's a good flavour too. Basically a creamy, sweet cheese and onion. 

There's a good amount of sour cream in these which I appreciate. The sweetness comes in the form of a fair amount of sugar, so a whole pack might become a little sickly.

Pop Chips - Sour Cream & Onion

Another big thumbs up for pop chips.

These are full of flavour. Sour cream (not so sour) and onion are intense, and herbs are very clear in the pack (there are green specs all over the crisps).

One thing that pop chips have got right in their flavourings is salt content. You can really taste the salt here but it's not overpowering. Gives them a really moreish tone.

Tyrell's - Sour Cream & Roasted Garlic

Woo! Crispmas is on its way!

2 days until I get my tree and i'm starting to feel the festive vibe.. and so are Tyrell's apparently!

Here's their special winter edition, sour cream and garlic. We're liking these here at Crisp Nation HQ.

Now they're of course not date food (unless you're going to the garlic bar) as the garlic content is high.. but it's a nice sweet garlic taste, and the sour cream is a great touch. They've also put a fair amount of salt in it, but it really works with the other ingredients and benefits from this.

Crisp is as standard with Tyrell's, a great crunch with skins left on.

Tortyrell's - Somerset Sour Cream

I can see why Tyrell's held back on sending me these after seeing my kettle chips review.

But they are a good crisp, obviously lurching in the background is the Doritos Cool Original flavour that we all know and love and will now judge these against that. 

But these crisps have highlighted that 'cool original' is actually in fact sour cream. Tortyrell's sour cream have a more dense, full flavour and a very different crunch than Doritos - again a dense crunch.

This is basically a classier version of doritos.

I like them. great for dipping.

'Original?'

Ok, I'd expect a lot more from a big brand like Kettle Chips, but this is an exact copy of Doritios Cool Original... So not so original!
7/10 because I love Doritos Cool Original, 0/10 for originality.
