I\u2019m not an envious person by nature. I don\u2019t \u201cyearn\u201d for much. I try my best to be satisfied with what I have\u2026 but that all changes whenever I see the chip flavors they get over in Asia.<\/p>\n
Before my Impulsive Buy days, I wanted to start a blog called, \u201cLay\u2019s for Days,\u201d where I\u2019d seek out and try every crazy chip flavor from around the globe. In my delusional brain, I\u2019d start by dropping a small fortune eBaying crazy flavors, and I\u2019d get so popular that people would willingly send me bags to try.<\/p>\n
Once I realized I no write no good and couldn\u2019t even figure out Blogspot, the short-lived dream died.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, the Frito-Lay corporation has slowly let some interesting flavors trickle out over the years, and it\u2019s not impossible to find international releases if you know where to look.<\/p>\n
Enter Korean-Style Sweet & Spicy Chili Ruffles, a chip with all the hallmarks I\u2019ve been looking for. Asian-inspired flavors? Check. A super long, intriguing name? Check. RRRidges? Check! These have to be good, right?<\/p>\n
Right. They\u2019re pretty damn good.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Sweet chili is elite. It never fails. It should be a standard flavor across all snacks. If you like sweet chili, these are for you.<\/p>\n
These have a heat level I\u2019d put a tick below \u201cFlamin\u2019 Hot.\u201d Props to them for ignoring the siren call and not slapping those two words on this bag like Frito-Lay seemingly does with everything else. Like an annoying guy describing Vegas, it\u2019s a \u201cdry heat\u201d and tolerable, leaving a slight afterburn on the back of the tongue.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
As I was eating and enjoying myself, I started to get nervous because I didn\u2019t really know how to articulate the flavor. I don\u2019t think my initial thought of, \u201cThis tastes like Asian food,\u201d would\u2019ve been kosher, literally or figuratively. I can\u2019t condense an entire continent into one chip, but I sometimes have difficulty distinguishing international flavor.<\/p>\n
These instantly tasted more Chinese-inspired. I\u2019ve had more Chinese food than Korean food in my life, so maybe that played a role, but the spice profile just reminded me of a vague Chow Mein-style sauce you\u2019d get slathered on some protein and vegetables. As I chomped on, I started to convince myself I might be tasting some kimchi and settled on what they ultimately reminded me of \u2013 Korean BBQ. Yeah, wow, very descriptive, huh? I actually thought of Korean Chicken Tacos more than anything.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The ingredient list is basically all the usual suspect spices you get in a chip like this with nothing distinct standing out. That, mixed with the pronounced chili flavor and \u201cdryness,\u201d just made me think of Asian-inspired BBQ chicken.<\/p>\n
Either way, these are pretty complex and taste really good. The sweetness is there, but it\u2019s not distinguishable from anything beyond, I guess, a pinch of brown sugar?<\/p>\n
I won\u2019t say these are as good as purple bag Doritos or the G.O.A.T. Sour Cream and Cheddar Ruffles, but they\u2019re not far behind either. Grab \u2019em if you see \u2019em. Hopefully, you find a sale because I might as well have eBay\u2019d these at the price I paid.<\/p>\n
