The reason why I found these potato chips to be repulsive was because they committed flavor incest.  <\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m not talking about the good kind of incest.<\/p>\n<p>I find it wrong when one potato product tries to taste like another potato product and because these potato chips have the flavor of garlic mashed potatoes, I believe this product breaks one of the Ten Culinary Commandments &#8212; thou shall not covet thy neighbor&#8217;s flavor.  It&#8217;s like if pork chops tasted like bacon, or if wheat bread tasted like white bread, or if all the things people say tastes like chicken tasted like chicken.<\/p>\n<p>The Terra Crinkles Yukon Gold Garlic Mashed Potato Chips seemed like normal potato chips, but by committing flavor incest who knows what might&#8217;ve happened with them.  There might&#8217;ve been defects, like square-shaped chips, excessive crinkles, non-crunchiness, or they might&#8217;ve had the level of brain damage only found in those who have the desire to become a D-List celebrity and whore itself to any reality show willing to pay it for its ability to be a total douchebag on television.<\/p>\n<p>Like I wrote earlier, I think these potato chips were all right and they really did taste like garlic mashed potatoes. But it wasn&#8217;t good garlic mashed potatoes, like the kind you would find as a side dish for a delicious medium rare filet mignon at a top-notch steakhouse.  Instead the potato chips were like the garlic mashed potatoes you would find in its own compartment in a Salisbury steak TV dinner.  The garlic flavor tasted a little burnt, it had a strong onion flavor and there was a little tanginess, thanks to the buttermilk powder.<\/p>\n<p>The Terra Crinkles Yukon Gold Garlic Mashed Potato Chips was not a case of something so wrong being so right.  The flavor incest it engaged in made something so wrong be so-so.  <\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 ounce &#8211; 130 calories, 6 grams of fat, 0.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 170 milligrams of sodium, 19 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of dietary fiber, 1 gram of sugar, 2 grams of protein, and 2% Iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Terra Crinkles Yukon Gold Garlic Mashed Potato Chips<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $4.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  6 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Whole Foods<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Tasted like garlic mashed potatoes, but not good garlic mashed potatoes.
