oh Blaze brings back so many good memories America loves chips so what went wrong here
are 10 chips that failed in the United States Planters potato chips luckily
a botanist yep those folks the peanut people believe it or not planters the brand most
famously associated with not only peanuts but many other nuts once delved into the world of
potato chips taking a bite out of the most famous ridged variety of chips Ruffles planners introduce
their version of The Salty classic complete with ridges this was likely accompanied by snack lovers
confusion and curiosity perhaps to ingratiate themselves that much more upon the potato chip
Community Planters went one step further and packaged their brand of chips in a Pringles
inspired tube the nut brand even challenged Pringles with a series of taste test ads that
ran in the 1970s a pretty bold move for a company launching their first foray into the world of the
potato chip this isn't the first time the famous nut brand ventured away from their signature snack
Planters has experimented with cheese balls which were met with a positive reception unfortunately
for Planters their version of the potato ship simply failed to catch on despite the Brand's
modest success with other non-nut snacks maybe if the company had created a Mr Potato Chip much
as they did with their original mascot Mr Peanut Planters potato chips would have become a staple
household snack instead of a distant memory Pringles cinnamon and sugar potato chips did
you eat my Cinnabon no sweet and salty together at last right yes except that particular combination
isn't always a hit of course we're all familiar with snacks like chocolate covered pretzels and
honey roasted peanuts which are Classics that have stood the test of time however when it comes to
potato chips sweet isn't the first flavor that makes the mouths of Chip lovers water well that
fact didn't stop the creative minds at Pringles who took it upon themselves to gift the chip
Living World With A peculiar flavor of cinnamon and sugar yes cinnamon sugar is a tasty combo
beloved by many a Sprinkle of the sweet combo on buttered toast a dusting on a piping hot batch of
oatmeal and who can resist that classic breakfast cereal cinnamon toast crunch but the deliciously
sweet flavor coating on a Savory potato chip just didn't sit well with snackers in the U.S
ultimately the creative yet risky attempt to mix up the established Norm of chip flavor just
didn't pay off in the end it seems that cinnamon sugar should perhaps stay as far away from a chip
as possible going forward however if you fancy yourself an adventurous chip Enthusiast these
sweet Pringles are still available in Canada Lay's wavy milk chocolate covered potato chips
a second we'd make some cookies chocolate chip this is another chip that adopted the sweet meat
Savory theme and the good folks over at Lay's are to thank or depending how you look at it to blame
for this odd combo what's better than a golden brown chip why dunking that very same chip in
Rich and sweet milk chocolate of course chocolate covered Lays potato chips burst onto the scene and
shocked chip fans as a sweet and savory snack treat is not exactly easy to get right just ask
Pringles definitely not your average chip flavor Lay's chocolate covered chip complete with waves
first appeared on supermarket and convenience store shelves in the early 2010s while there's
just something off-putting about a chocolate covered potato chip the chip is surprisingly good
fans of the Chip have compared it to a chocolate wafer with almost no trace of potato despite the
chocolate covered chips unexpected good taste it simply failed to catch on maybe the image of a
crispy golden potato chip coated in milk chocolate was just something chip fans weren't ready for at
any rate the chocolate covered potato chip was a bold attempt by lays to try something new a for
effort but in the end a fail still you can't help but admire the brand for sinking outside the box
first time here then become an official Babble topper by hitting that subscribe button thanks
lays wavy fried green tomato chips don't open the potato chips until you pay for them you're
gonna have to tell me that all the time remember that Kathy Bates classic from the early 90s Fried
Green Tomatoes if so you'll remember that the film had little to do with the dish but may have
inspired Mega chip brand lays to create a chip in the film's honor okay that scenario is not the
most likely what's more likely is the chip brand wished to bring the classic dishes flavor to their
famous crispy potato chips the flavor has been described as having a crispy Brown batter flavor
that is accompanied by an acidic tomato taste and they're incredibly good unfortunately these chips
didn't capture the imagination the same way the novel and the film that bears the same name did
if you must get your hands on a bag of these tasty yet rare wonders be prepared to Shell out over
a hundred bucks on eBay whether a chip is worth that much regardless of how amazing it may taste
is entirely up to you in any case it seems that the Lay's wavy line of chips just wasn't complete
without some kind of unusual flavor to get people talking Cheetos crunchy salsa con queso crunchy
salty Mexican food is delicious most would tend to agree with that statement so naturally snack
food brands have dabbled in Mexican flavors for years Doritos for example is a brand based
entirely on Mexican themed snacks with flavors inspired by the cuisine South of the Border
other brands have also adapted Mexican flavors to varying degrees of success one brand that strayed
from their established formula and donned the proverbial Sombrero was Cheetos and their salsa
con queso flavor yes the Cheetos culinary scientists decided to introduce the zesty
cheesy goodness to their classic cheesy Cheetos crunch not surprisingly the new flavor was a hit
with most fans however the salsa con queso Cheetos soon disappeared from store shelves with many fans
voicing their disappointment the Mexican inspired Cheetos did make a brief comeback in the form of a
limited time run the snack was available at select locations during during the summer of 2020 which
was a pleasant surprise and a much needed bright spot during an unforgettable and difficult period
of time for many Lay's southern biscuits and gravy chips where's my potato chips you have to hand it
to the creative minds if it lays for letting their fans have a little flavor fun coming up with a
contest called do us a flavor lays dared its fans to choose from four new possible flavors and in
the end it was the southern inspired biscuits and gravy that the fans chose for the win ah there's
nothing quite like a good old batch of biscuits and gravy served up for dinner or even a hearty
breakfast and adding those distinct flavors to a bag of crispy lays seems like a win-win in
anybody's books well apparently not so much though voted the winner by the fans the flavor didn't
seem to catch on perhaps the idea of the taste of freshly baked biscuits and gravy infused into a
potato chip sounded better than it actually taste it it's worth noting that the flavors left on the
drawing board were not only Innovative but also sounded pretty tasty in their own right kettle
cooked Greektown Euro New York Reuben and West Coast truffle fries perhaps the aforementioned
flavors may have fared better than the southern staple which faded off into the sunset Joey chips
Joey doesn't chef okay we know people love a good corn chip crispy slightly sweet delicious and who
doesn't love a nice crispy potato chip so why not see what happens if we combine the two this is
the conversation that must have taken place at General Mills when they decided to create this
interesting combo Joey chips were a hybrid snack 50 potato chip 50 corn chip and unfortunately a
100 lack of interest from snack fans as the chip never really caught the imagination or
appetite of Chip lovers there have been other companies who have experimented with a hybrid
ship to much success such as Crispers cracker chips however Joey chips just wasn't the snack
people were searching for back in the late 1960s and the trademark eventually expired in the early
90s General Mills has had success with other corn-based snacks such as bugles which remain
popular to this day the mistake seems to have been venturing into the world of the potato
better leave that ship business to the other guys Keebler munchems come on Keebler's been pumping
out snack treats for both the sweet and salty variety for well over a hundred years from their
coconut dream cookies and fudge stripes to their Pizzeria Pizza chips which are no longer available
keevler knows a thing or two about snacks so when the snack brand decided to experiment with their
own version of a hybrid snack it seems like a recipe for Success kabler introduced munchems to
the already overcrowded snack Market much like the popular Crispers snack munchems were part cracker
and part chip and came in an assortment of flavors such as cheddar Ranch and onion unfortunately the
cracker chip was not long for this world as munchums never really caught on in the U.S
though the snack does continue to have a devoted fan base this isn't the only chip related failure
the Keebler folks experienced along with the aforementioned pizzerias in a baked potato chips
oh Boise's failed to catch on with chip lovers in the U.S well at least we know those Keebler elves
don't give up and keep going back to the drawing board WOW chips what happened to potato chips in
the last seven years oh they made them healthy one of the problems most snack lovers face is
the inevitable health concerns that come with over indulging in the sweeter salty good stuff
however never missing an opportunity to keep their devoted clientele many snack brands have
taken it upon themselves to offer up a variety of healthier versions of their popular snacks
ah yes the healthy or low-fat snack treat was a trend That Snack Brands couldn't help but adopt
for fear of losing their devoted customers while trying to keep those customers healthy so to speak
one example of this trend was Lay's WOW brand wow was a fat-free alternative to their established
staple of salty snacks running across all their brands including Doritos Ruffles and Tostitos
wow used an ingredient called olestra which is a fat substitute containing zero calories and
the new line of healthier snacks were initially very successful however the very ingredient that
made the snacks fat free would ultimately be responsible for The Disappearance of the wow
line you see the aforementioned fat substitute a lestera also had the unforeseen and unfortunate
side effect of acting as a laxative needless to say the complaints from customers began to flow
almost as fast as well you get the picture and that was the end of the wow line when it comes to
a choice between running from calories and running to the toilet most will take their chances with
the excess calories guacamole Doritos I'm just chilling with the Glock from my chip hat seeing
as how Doritos are a mexican-themed snack it makes sense that the popular tortilla chip would come in
a variety of flavors inspired by classic South of the Border Cuisine surprisingly this hasn't been
the case with flavors such as cool ranch zesty cheese and even flaming or spicy Nacho comprising
the majority of the Brand's flavor catalog this all changed when Doritos released their guacamole
flavor while some would argue that the new flavor didn't exactly taste like a fresh batch of Rich
guacamole the chips were nevertheless pretty tasty unfortunately guacamole Doritos unique
taste and appropriate Mexican seamed ingredients weren't enough to win the hearts of the majority
of Doritos fans as this chip never caught fire in the U.S another reason guacamole Doritos didn't
last too long on the shelves was because Doritos parent company Frito-Lay stated that some flavors
must be discontinued to make room for new flavors combine that with lower than expect did sales and
it was bye bye guacamole Doritos we hardly knew you the popular brand has since offered more
mexican-themed flavors such as salsa verde and Tapatio salsa Picante but it was the guacamole
Doritos that has the distinction of being one of the first get a taste of more great videos
