<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I\u2019m from the tri-state, so I think I\u2019ve been exposed to good bagels in my lifetime. I\u2019ve also been exposed to bad bagels parading themselves as good bagels. I like to think I\u2019m a trustworthy voice when it comes to bagel quality. So, when I heard Lay\u2019s had a new Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese chip, I had to review them.<\/p>\n
Everything is arguably the best bagel, but they\u2019re a mess to eat and the seeds get stuck in my teeth, so I appreciate Lay\u2019s attempting to bring these great breakfast flavors together without the hassle.<\/p>\n
Everything bagel chips already exist and if these taste anything like them, I\u2019ll be more than satisfied. Also, just to let you know, I like my bagels soft and my bagel chips teeth shattering. When people ask me my favorite form of gambling, I tell them \u201ceating bagel chips.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nothing about the bag\u2019s smell screamed \u201ceverything bagel.\u201d It just smelled like greasy kettle chips. When I buy a dozen bagels, those tend to be the dominant scent in the bag. There\u2019s none of that here. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t look that special either. The only seasoning I could see were ACTUAL poppy seeds. Lay\u2019s always puts flavor speckles on chips, why use actual poppy seeds? They\u2019re the worst part of an everything bagel, and usually require floss.<\/p>\n
As for the taste, there\u2019s a small hint of cream cheese. Well, there\u2019s a dairy taste at the very least, so they deliver in that department.<\/p>\n
Beyond that, I didn\u2019t distinguish the other elements of an everything bagel. There\u2019s a tang at first, but it just tastes like a weak sour cream and onion. I\u2019d let that go if the other flavors worked, but they really don\u2019t. <\/p>\n
![\"Lay](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Lays-Kettle-Cooked-Everything-Bagel-Potato-Chips-3.jpg?resize=550%2C540\" "\\"Lay's")
<\/p>\n
Did I taste sesame? Not really. Was there anything \u201cbready\u201d about these chips? Nope. \u201cBready\u201d chips are probably easier said than done, but we\u2019re talking about bagels here. These don\u2019t taste like bagels. I stared at the bagel on the bag, and still couldn\u2019t convince my brain.<\/p>\n
The thing about regular kettle chips is that the main flavor is oil. The grease is overpowering unless the chip is coated in a strong flavor base, which these chips do not have. The other problem, like always, is the fact the texture is inconsistent. Some chips are perfectly crunchy while some seem like they\u2019re five years old.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, these don\u2019t deliver on the bagel promise. They remind me of really weak, stale sour cream and onion chips. There\u2019s no chance these win the Do Us a Flavor contest.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> A strong contest choice. Cream cheese comes through. Onion and garlic are noticeable. Everything bagels are delicious. Wouldn\u2019t necessarily be a bad chip if they weren\u2019t falsely advertised. They taste better dipped in actual cream cheese.
\nCons:<\/b> Greasy kettle flavor. Weak smell. Boring looking chip. Misses on some major flavor elements. Poppy seeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
