Not a lot of information exists other than they are supposed to be EXTRA crunchy and have EXTRA flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>How are they?<\/h3>\n<p>Kettle chips are already crunchier than your average chip due to their thickness and cooking process, so I was curious about how much more crunchy they could be.<\/p>\n<p>Spoiler alert: a pretty unperceivable amount.<\/p>\n<p>They seemed pretty much the same level of crunch as the non-EXTRA branded chips. They are still fairly crunchy, but I would advise you to set your expectations low as to them being more crunchy than standard kettle chips.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Lays-Kettle-Cooked-Extra-Potato-Chips-Honey-Habanero.jpeg?resize=600%2C414&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lay s Kettle Cooked Extra Potato Chips Honey Habanero\" title=\"Lay's Kettle Cooked Extra Potato Chips Honey Habanero.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"414\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of the two flavors, the Honey Habanero was the one I was most excited about. I really enjoy the mixture of sweetness (honey in particular) to spicy things. It usually adds such a richness to the spicy peppers. The initial spicy pepper flavor is followed by a very subtle sweetness. That vivid honey flavor I had hoped for just wasn&#8217;t there.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to the Flamin\u2019 Hot flavored items, these are fairly tame. They certainly have a kick, but not burn your face off level. A perfectly fine spicy chip on its own, but with the lack of honey flavor standing out, it just wasn&#8217;t what I had hoped for.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Lays-Kettle-Cooked-Extra-Potato-Chips-Extreme-Cheddar.jpeg?resize=600%2C524&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lay s Kettle Cooked Extra Potato Chips Extreme Cheddar\" title=\"Lay's Kettle Cooked Extra Potato Chips Extreme Cheddar.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"524\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Even though I had lower expectations for the Extreme Cheddar one (What makes it extreme? Does it skateboard? Is that still considered extreme?!), it ended up being the better of the two. Eating it, I was immediately reminded of another item. I realize this might be extremely niche, but if you&#8217;ve ever had the TGI Fridays Potato Skins Snacks, these were EXACTLY how I remember them. A robust cheesy flavor with a sour cream finish, these are a solid chip.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Kettle chips weren&#8217;t created until 1982. Well, chances are they were around, but they became a more mass-produced product in 1982.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>If these had been presented as two new flavors under the regular Lay&#8217;s Kettle line, I might&#8217;ve given them a higher rating as they are perfectly fine kettle chips. But they fail to deliver as the advertised EXTRA: no real extra crunch or extra flavor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.98 each<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 7 3\/4 oz bags<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Walmart<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 5 out of 10 (Honey Habanero), 6 out of 10 (Extreme Cheddar)<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (about 15 chips) <strong>Honey Habanero<\/strong> &#8211; 150 calories, 8 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 190 milligrams of sodium, 17 grams of carbohydrates, 1 grams of fiber, 2 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein. <strong>Extreme Cheddar<\/strong> &#8211; 150 calories, 9 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 190 milligrams of sodium, 16 grams of carbohydrates, 1 grams of fiber, 1 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are Lay&#8217;s Kettle Cooked Extra Potato Chips?
