Guest Chip Review! Lay's Denmark Sour Cream & Onion

"As a guest chip-blog-writer, I take this opportunity very seriously. I feel lucky that I get to write my review of the Sour Cream & Onion Ruffles/Lays from Denmark. On this search with my sister, to find the most exotic flavored chips from around the world, we stumbled upon some familiar favorites. This one being "Sour Cream & Onion". An American staple. Now, I am not a potato chip fan; but on the rare occasion I do eat chips, sour cream and onion are my go-to flavor. For that reason, I believe it is only fitting that I write the entry for this flavor.

Now there's good news and there's bad news. Bad news is that I am a biased taste-tester. I like the American flavor so much! Good news is, that the chips were not that bad.
I'll be honest the chips were extremely salty, so I recommend having a tall glass of water nearby. However, because they were Ruffle-style, the chip was cut thicker and had more crunch than the American version.
The flavor is almost identical, except for the fact that the Danish version was saltier than the standard. I recommend these for a stroll through Copenhagen: enjoying the beautiful city, a Carlsberg beer, and a nice bag while you walk around the stunning, ecofriendly, city."

Love my sister for jotting this blog down while we were in Copenhagen after she ate ALL my SC&O chips lol. I get the Salty thing; as I noted in my other Danish review, their chips are MUCH saltier than ours. Just a cultural thing. Also, I want to note here that these were available in BOTH Denmark and Sweden so they can be found in multiple locations across Scandinavia.  Looks like if you are a SC&O lover you won't be too disappointed if you visit!

Lay's Denmark Salted

Here's a bag of plain salted Lay's I picked up in Denmark. Denmark actually had quite a nice line up of flavors available, but I only got to try 3 of them... scratch that, 2 of them. My sister ate the third bag and didn't save me a single chip... so I forced her to do a guest blog on the flavor lol. Expect that soon haha.
Anyways, just for reference, the other flavors Denmark had that I didn't get a chance to taste were Heinz Tomato Ketchup, and Cheese & Onion. So, Ill have to try those on my next trip :)
But for now, we have the humble salted potato chip. These are made for the Scandinavian market, very much so, the Danes LOVE salty food and these chips don't let them down. They are RIDICULOUSLY salty. Almost too much so, but it's a little bag so I powered through it. My Danish friends LOVED them though, so what do I know? The potato was wonderful, perfectly crisp, nicely yellow, no burns, excellent crunch, and a nice potato flavor. But you really have to be comfortable with a high salt taste to enjoy these, I couldn't do a medium size bag if I had to. These probably pair well with the cold fish dishes that are really common in Denmark. So, just know that before you try. They suit the locale well, and for that reason I don't think it was a bad bag of chips. I also found these for sale in Sweden, so you may be able to buy them across Scandinavia if you are looking.


Note, if you do go looking to taste these, they can be bought individually in medium size bags or in a 6 pack of small bags. The 6 pack carries 3 flavors. The 6 pack was spotted in both Denmark and Sweden.
