“Root beer float is back on shelves? When was it on shelves?” If you’re thinking that, it was one of last year’s Peeps Mystery Flavors. Pancakes & Syrup made its debut last year as a Kroger exclusive. They have been freed from exclusivity this year. Click here for our review. (Spotted by Carla at Fred Meyer.)

DC Villains Harley Quinn Cherry Chocolate Diamond Daze Ice CreamDC Villains The Joker Mint Cookie Madness Ice Cream
As Batman would say, “If Harley Quinn is here, then The Joker must be near.” Okay, I don’t think Batman ever said that, but it sounds like something he might’ve said. The Harley Quinn flavor features vanilla light ice cream with a cherry swirl and cherry filled dark chocolate diamond pieces. The Joker flavor has mint light ice cream with chocolate cookie pieces and purple fudge filled chocolatey “Ha” pieces. (Spotted by Purple Dave at Meijer.)

As an ice chewer, I am all about crunchy goodness. So, Ruffles “new” Double Crunch chips are right in my wheelhouse.
The “new” is in quotes because Ruffles launched very crunchy chips a couple of times before with Ultimate and Deep Ridged lines. It even secured two U.S. patents for the “chip’s ornamental design,” and 24+ prototypes were created to land on this specific crunchy form that incidentally looks like the chevron design on Charlie Brown’s shirt.
Full disclosure, I haven’t tried the previous iterations. But, I see it as it as a blank slate!
This version even leans into the same “2x” claim but instead of saying “Ridges 2x As Deep,” it reads “2x The Crunch.” The fine print indicates that it’s only versus original Ruffles, so that’s kind of disappointing.
But, it is dang crunchy though. It’s so much so that you probably don’t want to eat this in class or work cubicle because someone will side-eye you for being too noisy. The chip itself is very kettle chip-like down to the smell (slight stale oil eau de parfum), which makes sense because that’s how it’s cooked as noted on the back panel. I don’t smell either the Zesty Cheddar or Hot Wings seasoning. Take that at face value based on your own preferences! I don’t mind either way.
The Zesty Cheddar is basically like a saltier Cheddar & Sour Cream. I was so surprised by the saltiness that I immediately went to check the nutrition facts but learned that both flavors have the same amount of sodium. Unless the salt was supposed to be the zesty part, I didn’t get a kick either. Disappointing.
On the flipside, I enjoyed the Hot Wings variety! It’s like a true buffalo wing flavor dancing on my taste buds with a touch of tanginess followed by this creaminess that I can only describe as eating a side of celery with ranch. I don’t know if my mind was playing tricks on me because it tasted so similar to actual wings that I imagined the actual eating experience with sides and all. I didn’t find it THAT spicy but could see folks finding this a bit on the spicier side.
These Ruffles do indeed have some crunchy r-r-r-ridges, but not quite consistent flavors!
