Garlic Bread, Without The Bread? - Parmesan Garlic Kettle Chips

NEW Kettle Brand Parmesan Garlic Chips - Walmart

If you're eating something Italian, and it's delicious, it's usually thanks to garlic and parmesan. This dynamic flavor duo is responsible for some of the most delicious things in the world, pasta, pizza, and best of all, garlic bread.  

So, when Cheesy Garlic Bread won Lay's Do Us a Flavor contest when it was first introduced, I wasn't surprised. What did surprise me, however, is how quickly that new "permanent" flavor of chips would disappear. A year or two and they were no where to be found. Then, a few years later, a dupe would start rotating as a special buy item at Aldi, and then at Lidl, and now here? Well these aren't officially marketing themselves as "garlic bread," so that might not be a fair assessment, but...isn't it close enough?   

Will these taste like kettle-style garlic bread? 

Thai Chili Kettle Chips- Aldi

Thai Chili Kettle Chips- Aldi

Aldi is getting so fancy! Just look at all the new chip flavors they've been coming out with: sriracha, beer, margarita, dill pickle, and now a Thai chili version? I love it!

When I saw these in the weekly circular I thought they were going to be really popular and I was worried they might sell out before I got my hands on them. It turns out that I misjudged the typical Aldi consumer, because these don't seem to be selling at all! The display still full during my last visit, and it seems like the rest of these bags are doomed to the clearance rack. Even though I misjudged their popularity, I still had high hopes that these chips were going to taste awesome.
