Finally got a chance to try all four of the "Do Us a Flavor" finalist flavors: - greektown gyro
- west coast truffle fries
- southern biscuits & gravy
- new york reuben
Have to say I don't care for any of them really... and find the reuben flavor particularly off-putting. What do you think? |

I have tried 3 out of the 4. I tried New York Reuben, Greektown Gyro, and Southern Biscuits and Gravy. I actually had to spit out the Gyro ones, to me they were just nasty. I like the Biscuits and Gravy the best. I don't plan on eating any of them again!  |

I tried all four. I only really like the truffle fries. I thought the reuben and gyro chips were awful. The biscuit ones were ok.

My husband liked the biscuits and gravy, but he is not very discerning when it comes to junk food, so that doesn't really mean much!
I liked the truffle ones, if I liked potato chips more I would eat those again.
Gyro and Reuben ones sound awful!

Nothing can ever compare to the wasabi ginger...love that one. This year I like the truffle one the best, but not enough to buy them again

I like the truffle one the best but it was also the most mild of the 4.

DD and I loved the biscuits and gravy one and DH really liked the Reuben one. None of us liked the gyro one and we haven't tried the truffle fries one. Out of all the special flavors they have made, my favorite has been the chicken and waffles followed closely by the wasabi ginger.

As of today, I've tried them all.
I didn't expect it, but my favorite is the Reuben. You really do get all the flavors of the sandwich, without it being disgusting or overpowering. It surprised me. Would I buy them regularly, though? Unlikely.
The biscuits & gravy was ok. Nothing special. It smelled better than it tasted.
The truffle fry flavor tasted like cream of mushroom soup to me. It was ok.
Today I tried the Gyro flavor with my Subway sandwich. IMO, they were inedible. They smelled really unappealing and left a horrible aftertaste. I ate three small chips and threw the rest in the garbage--and then I was annoyed that I didn't get to have any chips with my lunch. First world problems.

The Canadian ones sound pretty good! I have seen all four flavors in the grocery store and they just sound so gross I can't bring myself to try any of them.

We tried the Mac and cheese version here in AZ...I'm pretty sure it was Lays. OK but wouldn't buy them again, I've now got the Greek ones but haven't tried them yet.

I think the mac and cheese is last years winner, it isn't one of this years flavors. |

I've tried greektown gyro & west coast truffle fries.
I didn't really like either of them, to be honest.
I might try the other two flavors if I come across them, but I'm not seeking them out.

If I wanted the taste of a Reuben in my mouth, I'd eat a Reuben. Same with the other flavors.

We bought the butter chicken ones and everyone liked them. They tasted like the curry flavour chips we used to get in England.

I have only tried the truffle ones. They were ok, but not something I would buy again. Wasabi ginger are my favorite. I bought a bag of them when I got the truffle ones. The other new flavors sound gross.

I've tried them all and liked Reuben best.
It was the most flavorful and tasted most like what it was supposed to be.
I thought gyro was the worst.
None were as good as last year's wasabi.

We tried the Greek Gyro. Both kids and I stopped at one and DH kept munching. A little while later he finished an apple DS had started and told me the apple tasted weird. He wouldn't believe us that the apples were fine, it was the after taste from the chips. They left an odd coating in our mouths and I have no desire to try any of the others.
