Pringles Honey Mustard and Wendy's Baconator / Snack Review

Honey Mustard

Packaging: The colour is spot on, that sort of dark yellow close to Dijon mustard is attractive and reminds me of when I make my own honey mustard dip for chicken nuggets in the microwave as well, I'm trashy. The "Limited Time Only" red notice obviously made me them automatically, for review purposes only, of course. The bees and their hive is a touch and adds some cool artistry to the tube.

Texture/Taste: it's Pringles so the texture is always the same no matter what, were you expecting something different? Well yeah you could argue that they released some "wavy" or "groovz" chips but they're nothing special. The taste is pretty spot on to what I wanted. It tastes like a honey mustard dip, they did their job. It's spot on. The taste is pretty subtle and subdued too, it's not too much mustard-y or too sweet because of the honey, there's a good balance.

8/10

Wendy's Baconator

Packaging: there's a freaking big burger on the tube alongside the Wendy's sign. The tube is black too 'cause bacon is manly and shit, I guess?

Texture/Taste: Same old Pringle, it's orange-ish like the bun of the burger. Full disclosure, I don't think I ever tried the Baconator itself. I went to Wendy's like once and it was nothing special, it's not a super common fast food joint in Québec either. Still, this isn't very good or special. It tastes like a blend of fake bacon taste, BBQ sauce and hints of a beef aftertaste. It almost tastes like cheap beef ramen. I'll probably finish the tube anyway, mind you.

The Snack Series - Kettle Brand Potato Chips / Honey Dijon

Price: The chips bags of Kettle are always less expensive than Miss Vickies' stuff so that's a good reason to check them out. I think it was $3.50 Canadian so like 10 cents for my American readers.

Packaging/extra information : Frankly, the bag was too hard to open, it's not quite cool when you're drunk or high and in need of a snack. The colour is bright though so it's easy to spot if you forgot where the light switches are. It's those sort of plastic-y bags that, I guess, can keep the chips fresh for a while.

Texture: Their chips are super crispy and cooked more naturally than most brands. They're the regular size of what you can expect from a normal chip and that's totally fine with me. Originality is overrated!

Taste: The taste is precise. The mix of the sugary and idiosyncratic feel of honey with the bitter and strong dijon mustard element brings a bold approach but not one that you get tired of after like ten chips (I ate the bag in one sitting, of course.) They're perhaps not as excellent as the aforementioned Vickies but they're a good alternative as they have a bunch of different flavors. I'll try the blue cheese one next time

All, in all, this is a decent choice while you watch the hockey game. The Habs still managed to lose though.
