So I have been buying Lays chips for decades now. They are good and live up to the hype. But, since everything has went up drastically on prices I decided to try out the Walmart brand of chips. And let me tell you from experience of a name brand consumer, these Walmart chips taste just as good as any name brand chips. I was really shocked by it. Like all these years of paying for name brands I never thought the Walmart brand was just as good for half the price.
I buy these in all flavors and they taste better than the name brands and much cheaper! I buy these big bags and take some of these with me in a ziplock if wanting on the side of a sandwich as the small bags are now ridiculous to pay for by comparison.
Have you bought a bag of Great Value Barbecue flavored Potato chips? If you haven’t, you should rush over to Walmart and buy several today. They are scrumptious, crisp and have just the right amount of salt! Add them to a plate with a boring sandwich, and give your mouth something to smile about! And they cost much less than the name brand! ENJOY!
GREAT VALUE POTATOE CHIPS AND MANY OTHER PRODUCTS NAMED GREAT VALUE AND DELI ITEMS ARE ALWAYS FRESH AND EVEN MORE TASTY THEN NAME BRANDS. SAVINGS AND TASTE IS A GREAT COMBINATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
Why pay double the price when these chips are better than the outragiously priced name brand? They are fresh, crispy, and tasty. I love them. All Great Value brand chips are as good or better than overpriced ones.
These bbq chips are the absolute best. reminds me of the bbq chips back in the day in the 70's back when chips came 2 bags in a box and there was only 2 options regular and bbq flavor. well these chips taste just like those bbq chips. highly recommend purchasing. They are so good !!!
Great Value Party Size Barbecue Potato Chips Are Very Delicious, I Purchase These Chips. ( All Of The Great Value Brand Chips ).Often They Are Just As Good As The Name Brand And At A Fraction Of The Price. And The Party Size Bags Make Several Servings For My Family. I Highly Recommend . They Taste Sooo Good And The Barbecue Flavor Is Just Right.
To be honest, I had Never liked Bbq Chips at all!!! My son buys them all the time and Loves them ….. and Now so do I !!!! Perfect Taste and Flavor!!!!
The label on this 12.5-ounce thin metallic monolith boldly proclaims "Party Size," a territorial claim that forces a deep existential inventory of one's own social calendar. In our modern suburban ecosystem, we occasionally assemble acquaintances in backyards, nodding along while a neighbor details his obsessive lawn aeration schedule, all in an earnest bid for human connection. True communal bonding, however, rarely emerges from awkward small talk about turf grass and soil pH. It demands a powerful focal point, a shared gravitational pull that draws wandering souls toward a singular table. This crinkly, cobalt-blue sack of potato crisps provides precisely that center of gravity. Tearing open the foil top releases a localized atmospheric disturbance, a subterranean puff of hickory-scented mist that instantly claims the dining room. Inside lies a treasure trove of fried culinary architecture. Each tuber slice has been transformed into a brittle, unpredictable sculpture, heavily dusted with a rust-colored seasoning blend of sugar, onion, and vinegar. Many chips have folded over upon themselves during their boiling oil trial, evolving into impenetrable, double-layered crunch-fortresses that test the structural integrity of human molars. The initial bite strikes the palate with pyrotechnic intensity. A wave of sweet tomato powder collides violently with an assertive, chemically perfected campfire aroma, leaving the tongue both bewildered and delighted. As the contents of the bag slowly evaporate into the crowd, participants acquire the inevitable badge of the feast: a thick, umami-rich patina coating the thumbs and index fingers. This lingering seasoning crust demands a thorough, ceremonial hand-washing (or, during moments of unmonitored weakness, a clandestine swipe across denim jeans). Great Value has engineered an artifact of sheer dietary intrigue, mastering the delicate alchemy of smoke, salt, and fried potato. Whether distributed among a loud gathering of sixteen humans or devoured solo in the blue glow of a midnight television screen, this twelve-and-a-half-ounce vessel delivers an unforgettable gastronomic odyssey.
These chips were stale (even though Best Buy date was a ways out), and many large black spots on potato chip -- like the bag I bought probably shouldn't have passed inspection. So, compared to Target Generic Chips, or even Aldi, I have started going to those other generic brands just to not have to throw out stale, unfit potato chips. To me, there is no reason Walmart's manufacturer can't catch the large volume of dead/black parts of many of the chips in this bag of chips. Even though less than Frito-Lay chips, customers still pay for edible chips %26 fresh.
