We've tried all 4. We've labeled them as : truffle fries= gross biscuits and gravy= grosser Rueben=grossest gyro=vomit-inducing-gross
I'm all for a flavoured potato chip but why such weird flavours? We can't just do salt and vinegar or cheddar and sour cream etc? Can't wait to see what they come up with next year...haggis? chitlin (sp?)? headcheese.....blaaahhhcckkkk

They sound so unappealing. Not worth the calories at all.

The Reuben sandwich ones are soooo good!!! I bought a little convenience bag and wound up throwing them away because I would have eaten the whole thing.

The Canadian ones sound good to me.
We tried the Gyro and the Biscuits and Gravy. I didn't like either of them, but the rest of my family liked the Biscuits and Gravy.

I tried the Rueben one at a partyand thought i could taste the pastrami, normally Reubens are a favorite sandwich of mine but these were pretty unremarkable. All of my ideas were things that go with potato, these ate just like random flavors, no wonder the vast majority are not enjoying them. I still think California carne asada fries or new York knish would have been good ....two of my ideas that i can still remember.

Gyros are made from lamb meat so making a potato chip that tastes like lamb sounds horrible and like cold grease.

None sound appetizing to me at all.
I really liked last years mango salsa.

The Canadian flavours are: P.E.I. Scalloped Potatoes Butter Chicken Montreal Smoked Meat Wavy Cowboy BBQ Beans Maybe, just maybe, the scalloped potato flavour would be good. Especially if they are cheesy scalloped potatoes! It's actually not that bad. The butter chicken is decent as well.

We were in France this past summer, and one of the most popular flavours there is roast chicken.
We tried them, and surprisingly, they tasted like roast chicken. It was really weird.
I've tried the butter chicken flavour and it was not good.

I don't plan to try them because they sound kind of yucky to me. It's like the pickle-flavored popcorn that Trader Joe's just came out with. I have to confess we bought a bag of that one just to test it. It's "okay"... like maybe five or six pieces of "okay". Then it's just wrong. lol Don't mess with my chips, I want just plain salted or maybe bbq or sour cream. That's it. lol

The Reuben flavor is my favorite. I also really liked the Biscuits and Gravy. I didn't care for Greektown Gyro, and thought the Truffle Fries flavor was just a similar flavor to Sour Cream and Onion.

Gyros are made from lamb meat so making a potato chip that tastes like lamb sounds horrible and like cold grease. They tasted more like tzatziki sauce to me. Which I love, but it wasn't a flavor that translated well to a chip.

The only ones I've tried are the gyro ones and they tasted to me like they were sprinkled with cubes of beef buillion. Gross.

I've had two chips in biscuits and gravy. My son has bought these a few times. What can I say? If these are the only chemicals he tries as a teen I'll be happy.

I haven't tried any of them..they all just sound so gross. This. Even though the canadian flavors are different, still no interest. Just give me my ketchup and bbq chips. Although I did buy a friend the chocolate covered ones and she LOVED them.

We all had a big bag of Roulette flavored Doritos the other day. It was hilarious! They all look the same but some are FN HOT!
It was funny to see my mother's reactions.

I tried the truffle ones. They tasted like a cross between the garlic bread chips that were out a while ago and the sour cream and chive flavored ones. So sort of buttery garlic creamy flavor. I thought they were good but I wouldn't have the desire to go out and get them again.

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've only tried the Reuben and was so amazed at how distinctly I could taste the various flavors. I polished of the bag and liked them well enough. Possibly enough to buy them again.

The Canadian ones are sounding more appealing as I hear about the American ones.

We got a small bag of all 4 from the Subway shop. We get them each year and invite the neighborhood kids over for a taste off. They have score cards and get their food critic on. It was a blast last year and with the mystery doritos flavors.
I bought the chips yesterday, we need to schedule the party soon!
I love that they each get a chip, not much is wasted, they have fun and I don't have to put any of them in my mouth. Original with french onion dip please!

This was my thought on it too. I won't buy another bag though. DH's the one who wanted to try them. Won't try the others as they sound disgusting to me. Why add fake meat flavoring to chips?
