You've probably seen the four new Lays ® chip flavours on the grocery shelves. These limited edition bags are part of the Lay's ® Do Us a Flavour contest and include flavours ranging from Tzatziki to Cinnamon Bun.
Today, I'll be doing a review of two of the Canadian flavours: Jalapeño Mac N' Cheese and Bacon Poutine (very Canadian). I'll be honest, I haven't had the guts yet to try the Tzatziki (I've heard it's not good at all) or the Cinnamon Bun (because I don't think it will taste good on a chip). For those who are interested, the American flavours are Cappuccino (I've heard it just tastes like funnel cake), Mango Salsa (heard it tastes bad), Wasabi Ginger (heard it tastes okay), and Bacon Cheddar Mac N' Cheese (heard it's pretty good).

Poutine works well as a flavour because potato chips are crispy, just like fries so it can be re-created. There's not much of a bacon taste but the smoky, meaty, and cheesy flavours do resemble the taste of poutine. Flavours like poutine, where it's a blend of different flavours together, in general I think are hard to recreate. But as a whole, I think the flavour works well for a chip. It tastes like a blend of chicken flavoured chips (which I've seen before), BBQ chips, and nacho cheese flavoured chips. I would recommend trying it, simply because bacon and poutine are so stereotypically Canadian and it tastes pretty good.
I really like the spicy cheddar flavour of this chip but I think it's seasoned a little too salty. The flavours of spicy and cheesy work well together and the chips are very savoury. Having a small bowl is okay, but eating too much definitely will leave you thirsty because of the saltiness. As a whole, I would recommend it because the flavour is pretty good but just be warned-have a glass of water beside you when eating!
I hope you enjoyed reading my reviews on two of the Do Us a Flavour chip flavours! Hope you'll come back soon! Let me know in the comments if you've tried any of the contest's chip flavours and let me know what you think (especially curious about the Tzatziki flavour) or which flavour you want to try out!
