Lay's Cheesy Buffalo Dip, Loaded Nachos, and Hot Sauce Potato Chips

 


Products circa: autumn 2025
 
As NFL season 2025-2026 is upon us, Lay's released these 3 new varieties.
 
Cheesy Buffalo Dip - A fairly simple experience.  Ultimately, the chile flavor isn't very detectable, and the heat is quite modest, and so these end up tasting like cheesy chips with a significant zing of acid.  I wouldn't reach for these again.
 
Loaded Nachos - A hodge podge of typical seasonings all thrown together.  The cheese is well tempered by a mix of savory flavors like onion, garlic, cumin, and coriander.  It tastes like a muted taco meat seasoning.  There is also jalapeno and bell pepper powder here, which I always enjoy.  There's a bit of heat that will trail at the end, as well.  But overall, all the flavors are quite muted.
 
Hot Sauce - A very well done simulacrum of hot sauce.  Heavy on vinegar, heavy on chile, which occasionally tastes like Tabasco, though I doubt they used fermented chiles in this.  I swear they used a bit of cheese powder to make these taste a bit creamy, but it's not in the ingredients list.
