Lay's Chips Barbecue
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Lay’s Salt and Vinegar Flavored Potato Chips is one of those products that I really like but putting it into words isn’t quite so easy. I’ve always thought that regular Lay’s Potato Chips have the best taste and crisp texture of all regular chips available.\n\nWhile shopping for some chips to serve with chopped BBQ Pork Sandwiches, I saw the Lay’s Salt and Vinegar for the first time and thought how they might go well with BBQ pork. It was a perfect blend of flavors ! Nearly all BBQ Sauces contain vinegar but can sometimes be too sweet. These Salt and Vinegar Chips add just enough tangy taste to mellow out sauce that might be too sweet for some tastebuds, and I’ve tried them with a wide variety of sandwich or soup combinations with great results.\n\nBut they certainly don’t have to be served with anything else because they’re great right out of the bag. I purchase them in one ounce single serving bags by the 40 count box. That way they’re as fresh as possible each time I pop open a new bag. The whole family enjoys them with a fresh shipment delivered every month.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Buyers please read my Review: Instead of buying the larger single bags for a dollar or so, these chips bags are PERFECT for snacking. These chips bags are just the right amount to satisfy your growling stomach and not spoil your meal plans. Net Wt is one ounce. The chips are very fresh and so delicious!!! The Sour Cream and Onion, and Barbecue are my favorites. I have bought several boxes of these chips variety packs to share with the residents of this senior citizen community that I live in. There is a place on the property where I live that I donate boxes of chips along with other items that people donate. I also donate boxes of chips to the ladies that are making CoronaVirus masks for the residents and their families. I do my best to ensure everyone that loves chips are receiving the bags of chips. Everyone is happy and are asking for more. So I have been buying them as often as I can. Right now, today's date (6/27/20) and time of this Review, the variety pack is such a great price for the quantity and freshness you get. Plus, Amazon makes sure that the chips are Not crushed. I have NEVER received a box of expired chips. For the price, quantity, freshness, and timeliness of receiving this box of chips, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this variety pack."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Wow. Don't know how it made it off the factory line. But pretty bad qa/qc. My wife complained that I bought old chips. I said how do I buy old chips. It's sent by Amazon. She said it was stale. I said ok, maybe a bag bursted and it got stale. But no. I went through the whole box. And I got 5-6 out of each box I ordered. They did a bad job sealing the bags. Mainly noticed the sour cream and onions. All had bad seals that we're all ripped. How did they allow this to come off the line and into boxes. And how do they not notice they're not air tight when they load up the box."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I received my box today and brought it in the house... An hour later i move the box to see 100 ants! I tossed the box outside and opened it to see where they were coming from and there were hundreds more... There was another SEALED box inside of the main box and it also had ants in it!!! I thought about saving some bags but it wasn't worth the hassle... Also one bag was opened which i am assuming what attracted the ants to this box in either the warehouse or during shipping. My guess is where it came from since the box INSIDE the box which was also sealed had ants in it. This would have been a great deal minus the ants i had to kill in my home for an hour spraying chemicals......"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I will never order this from amazon again. All 40 bags expired within a month of receiving the package, but what's worse is that no one would eat them anyways because almost all the one's we tried to eat, already tasted super stale. I didn't even notice the expiration date until I tried to eat some, and they tasted like a bag that's been sitting around for a year.\n\nI'm guessing that's why they were on sale in the first place.\n\nI ended up having to throw away about 30 bags of chips. Such a sad waste, but no one, (not even my chip loving teenagers, or garbage disposal of a husband who normally eats ANYTHING) would touch them."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I may not keep this Subscription. Delivered on July 30th 2018. Have until August 14th for the “freshness date”. 40 count is a little extreme to be this short dated in my opinion and still be sent to regular sale/subscription customers. Getting a second star only because it wasn’t crushed like many other reviews I read. Box In tact and was not damaged intransit by outside force or other items in box...'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have always ate too many chips whenever I get a large bag, so I was happy to find these small snack sizes so I could ration how much I ate. I have always enjoyed them in the past, but for some reason the last 3 batches of 40 chips contained 4 or 5 terribly stale original flavored packs. If you ever had that feeling where you thought you were going to bite into a crisp fresh chip and then you bit into a soggy semi crunchy wafer, it is very unpleasant. Someone needs to start stepping up quality control or something. All in all I will still be a kettle chip lover, but I dont like stale chips...who does?'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Bought these for a party and a number of them were under filled (see picture). I understand it’s cheaper because it’s about two months from expiration but NOT including product basically renders that a moot point. Thanks for embarrassing me in front of friends. Just go buy this at a warehouse store of super market and save yourself the anguish.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have ordered this several times now, despite some of the negative reviews.\n\nIt comes in a Frito Lay box. The bags inside are NOT out of date (at least I haven't found any that were). But the dates are close. You might have a few weeks or a couple months on them.\n\nThe main problem I can see is that the individual packages look heat stressed, like they were stored in a warehouse in a desert climate. Out of four cases, I had only one bag that had burst open. I didn't find this to be really concerning, considering the excellent price per pound.\n\nI have only had one bag that was obviously stale, the rest were deliciously edible. And at the price, it's really hard to complain.\n\nI buy these for myself. The large bags at the store are too expensive, and I can't keep from tearing open the bag and eating straight to the bottom. With these little bags, I control my snacking by eating two little bags every evening, and it's delicious, satisfying, and limits my dumb appetite for salty carbs. I still get to indulge.\n\nThis case of not-so-dodgy chips is my #1 snack option now, allowing me to have my cake and eat it too.\n\nEach case is a 20 day supply of chips for me, so the dates are not an issue. Even past date or stale, it's not like they are dangerous or anything.\n\nI highly recommend this particular deal if you have the ability to manage consuming them on a set schedule, and don't have perfectionist expectations.\n\nI have zero complaints. The only complaint I would have is: if I couldn't buy these anymore.\n\nHappy Snacking :D"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I was able to try these out before they were available in most stores in my area, thanks Amazon! The bags are sometimes filled inconsistently, so if one bag is slightly empty, another bag will be slightly fuller than normal. The bags are fun size appropriate, good for packing a sack lunch or whatever, very addictive, I had to limit myself to two bags a day due to a sodium restricted diet. The snacks kind of remind me of Bugles, but with a tasty seasoning of Three Cheese or Sour Cream and Onion, and very light and airy, but Bugles are made from corn and not potatoes if I’m not mistaken. EDIT: It’s important to note that Amazon got my order wrong and sent me two boxes instead of just the one, but I’ll probably still shop here nonetheless.'}]
