What are H-E-B Limited Edition Vanilla Milkshake Wavy Potato Chips?<\/h3>\n

I often see new interesting items in the SPOTTED section of this site that I never see in person. Sometimes that\u2019s just bad luck, sometimes it\u2019s a product I would never buy, and sometimes it\u2019s region-specific. A couple of weeks ago, a chip caught my eye so strikingly that I had to seek it out.<\/p>\n

Exclusive to Texas-based grocery store H-E-B, this gorgeous teal bag is part of the Late Night Flavors collection, promising the flavor of a vanilla milkshake on wavy chips.<\/p>\n

I put out a request to my Instagram followers<\/a>, and someone in San Antonio was down for the hunt! Shout out to Lauren T for not only going to H-E-B and finding the chips but shipping them more perfectly than any other junk food oddity I\u2019ve bought online (like that one time I purchased Cola Pringles from South Korea).<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n

\"H<\/p>\n

Much like a trip to the diner for a creamy shake and hot fresh, salty fries after a night of revelry, these chips are awesome. It\u2019s an undisputed fact that wavy chips bring more flavor and crunch than their flatter counterparts, and these are excellent crunchy chips. Not as crunchy as a harder-cooked kettle style chip and not as greasy as the iconic Ruffles, these have a firm but gentle crunch akin to the Lays Wavy line.<\/p>\n

The flavor strikes an even 50\/50 split of sweet and salty with a strong undercurrent of pure potato. They aren\u2019t too aggressively sweet or salty, which allows them to stay in balance as a crave-able chip that doesn\u2019t steer too far into weird \u201cis this dessert?\u201d territory. These chips would have been a confusing train wreck if they were chocolate-based, but the nice neutral blanket of mild vanilla keeps them smooth and just sweet enough to keep me endlessly snacking in glee.<\/p>\n

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

\"H<\/p>\n

Have you ever dunked your fries into a fast food vanilla shake? That\u2019s exactly what these taste like. I prefer to eat my fries and shake separately but for them to be combined into one flavor and bagged is fully a-okay by me. Fried potatoes and sweetened milk are a helluva tasty combo and one that should be explored more.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Would I pay $20 to have these shipped to me again out of pure curiosity? No. But if I lived in Texas, near one of H-E-B\u2019s 340 stores in Texas and Mexico, I would absolutely grab another bag the second these are gone because they\u2019re enjoyable to eat.<\/p>\n
