Lay’s Manages to Make Potato Chips Even Worse For You by Smothering Them in Chocolate

‘Tis the season to be gluttonous, so Frito-Lay is rolling out milk chocolate-covered “wavy” potato chips.

The limited-edition $3.49 5-ounce bags will be shipped to Target stores starting today and will be on sale throughout the holiday season, a Frito-Lay spokesperson tells TIME. If consumers like them, the company will evaluate whether to make them permanent.

While chocolate-covered pretzels are a familiar sight, USA Today also cites the trend of sweet and salty potato chip flavors that have been on the market like Kettle’s maple-bacon or sweet ‘n’ salty Bugles flavors, like caramel and chocolate peanut butter.

I love Hershey bars with plain Lay’s chips. I will be trying these for sure. They look really good.

I’m thinkin’ 5-8 seconds in the microwave.

The CEO of the company hates America. Screw them.

The only travesty I can see is that they don’t come in packages bigger than five ounces. I second the dark chocolate motion too!

[SamAdams76]

Wrap them in bacon and they will be PERFECT!

Time is suggesting “there otta be a law”. Surely, with so many pages of law and regulations, someone thought to make such snacks illegal.

Well, some of these types of laws have been on the books for some time. For instance, restaurants in Wisconsin must serve butter. Even the Kentucky Fried Chickem in Wisconsi serves butter rather than "Better Spread".

I think a little something was lost when the EU gutted Germany's beer purity laws to make way for Budweiser etc.

I had a chocolate covered potato chip last week. It was very good. It was from a candy store, wrapped in foil.

That doesn’t sound too good.

But, occasionally, I will use potato chips to dip into soft vanilla ice cream.

The combo of the sweet ice cream and salty potato chips makes for an interesting treat.

(i)...or salty with sweet. It simply is not done.

Yes, it is done. My favorite is salt on my watermelon...try it.

Try French fries dipped into vanilla ice cream or a vanilla shake (thick)!

[TigersEye]

Wrap them in bacon and they will be PERFECT!

Dipped in melted cheddar and topped with a strip of hot green chile!

I’m willing to eat it. Doesn’t look awful..

[driftless2]

This might come as a shock to Miss Waxman, but strange as it seems, people can actually choose not to eat these things.

[driftless2]

"holler"

Especially when sold by kids only sixteen.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

ROFLMAO!

Where is Moochelle on this?

Inside the bag.
