\"Ruffles<\/p>\n

What are Ruffles Flamin\u2019 Hot BBQ Potato Chips?<\/h3>\n

The latest chips to churn out of the Ruffles factory bring together its ridged spud slices with a spicy BBQ flavor. It\u2019s apparently the first time any Frito-Lay product has combined Flamin\u2019 Hot – of Cheetos fame – with BBQ. This is being marketing-spun as Jayson Tatum\u2019s (the basketball player featured on the bag) signature flavor as he hails from St. Louis, and it reminds him of his hometown barbecue.<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m giving props to the Ruffles flavor gurus because they know how to tantalize taste buds. At first blush, this flavor sounded boring and done before, but the eating experience was anything but lame.<\/p>\n

\"Ruffles<\/p>\n

It was incredibly well-seasoned – not a bare piece of potato in sight – which helped ensure a flavorful eat. I was also really impressed by the size of each chip. Not just the fact that it wasn\u2019t a bag of crumbs, but also that each piece was the perfect size to pop whole into my mouth – covering the majority of my taste buds in one bite for max flavor!<\/p>\n

\"Ruffles<\/p>\n

The BBQ was practically perfection with its symphony of savory, sweet, and tangy notes. It definitely was dominant as the heat came up as an afternote. The spice built up, though, because I ate myself to a capsaicin-induced runny nose. So, if you pace yourself, you can control the heat level as the \u2018cue tempers the spice, unlike the spicy wallop of Flamin\u2019 Hot Cheetos on their own.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

So far, I\u2019m pretty impressed with the NBA and Ruffles collab line. I really enjoyed the Anthony Davis x Ruffles Lime & Jalapeno chips<\/a> from last year.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Whether you\u2019re an avid NBA fan or not, these are worth picking up on your next snack run. If eight ounces is too much heat to commit to, you can find them in a single-serve size as well!<\/p>\n
