Okay, so in my opinion, the flavour of these chips isn’t exactly that of sour cream and bacon. I taste cream without “sour” and sweet smoke with subtle flavours of cheese and a definite sweet aftertaste. It’s very odd, like a cream potato soup with brown sugar and artificial smoke flavour added to it. Odd, but not bad. The chip part is exactly what I expect from Ruffles; a thick cut chip that’s more crunchy than crispy and great for dipping. Nutritionally though, these chips are a disaster; full of fat and loaded with salt. If you’re going to try them, I’d advise only trying a small package at first. Or better yet, if it’s sour cream and bacon you’re craving, make your own sour cream dip with bacon crumble and try the Lightly Salted Ruffles with it. It tastes so much better and you’d be skipping the artificial flavours and cutting down your salt intake :)    -
