This is the Lay’s Wavy Potato Chips Grilled Squid.
The chips varied in size from approximately 4–6 cm in diameter and around 1 mm in thickness, with a wide wavy cut. They presented with a yellow base, coated in red-orange and darker seasoning flecks. Aroma was relatively neutral, with a standard potato chip profile and minimal indication of the flavour.
On tasting, the initial contact delivered a light savoury note. The ridged structure produced a sustained, even crunch, with a slightly airy quality despite the thicker cut. The grilled squid flavour developed gradually, beginning with a mild sweetness before moving into a deeper savoury profile. Through the mid-palate, a smoky, oceanic character emerged, becoming more defined as the chip broke down. The squid note intensified towards the finish, carrying a lingering smokiness that remained on the palate. The potato base stayed in the background, providing structure without contributing significant flavour. Texture remained consistent, with the ridges supporting both crunch and seasoning distribution.
Overall, a wavy chip with sustained crunch and a gradually developing smoky squid profile that lingers into the finish.
