The general consensus was to start with the most appeal­ing and work our way to what we believed to be the most dis­gusting.

Mango Salsa

Socorro: Oh god do you smell that? Right when you open it, it has a really strong artificial smell.

Reggie: (sniffs bag) Wow you’re right.

Melissa: (the first to actu­ally try the chip) Umm…that was…gross. Right when you bite into you get a mango taste but then it’s like a gross barbe­cue after taste.

Jesse: It’s interesting, there’s definitely mango in there. There’s some pineapple too.

Melissa: I tasted pineapple too!

Jesse: It’s not bad or gross It’s just interesting. I would like to try it with Ranch dip…

Reggie: I like the fruit flavor but then it turns into a chip? I don’t know there’s something crazy going on in my mouth right now.

Socorro: Oh…umm..I am not very pleased right now. I’m not sure if I like it or if I don’t.

Reggie: Yeah, it starts out fruity then gets really salty.

Socorro: It has a fruity taste, then it kind of evaporates into something different? It tastes like they made a Cap n’ Crunch chip and put a little hot sauce on it.

Jesse: Yes! That’s a really good description.

Cheesy Garlic Bread

Reggie: Oh I’m excited for this one. I like anything garlic.

Melissa: It smells fine.

Socorro: What does it taste like?

Melissa: Like cheesy garlic bread. I guess. I would not buy it again.

Jesse: It just tastes like a regular potato chip. It’s kind of plain.

Reggie: To me it just tastes like a chip without salt. I didn’t taste the garlic, the cheesy yes, no bread either.Socorro: (sniffs bag) It smells like pizza crust, but doesn’t taste like anything.

Melissa: There’s a strong smell but not a strong taste.

Socorro: So cheesy garlic bread yay or nay?

Reggie: I’ll say yay.

Melissa: Meh…

Jesse: I’ll say yay.

Socorro: I say yay just because it’s normal tasting.

Wasabi and Ginger

Melissa: (immediately after tasting chip makes face of an unidentifiable emotion)

Reggie: You guys are going to think I’m crazy but the spici­ness reminds me of chili cheese fries or those chili cheese chee­to chips.

Jesse: I taste the wasabi but no ginger.

Reggie: Ginger is supposed to be like boom!

Jesse: It doesn’t taste bad I just don’t like the hardness of the chip.

Melissa: (tries another) I actu­ally like it after a second try. These are probably my favorite so far.

Socorro: I really like these. They kind of taste like Ramen.

Reggie: They make me want to have some sushi.

Socorro: Yes!

Reggie: I like them a lot. Would you eat them on a regular ba­sis?

Socorro: Yes I would. These are the bomb. They kind of tickle your tongue after you eat them.

Reggie: I think if you like spicy things you’ll like them.

Cappuccino

Jesse: They taste like weak coffee but smell like good kettle corn.

Melissa: The powder that’s on them doesn’t taste bad. It’s just weird on a chip.

Reggie: I like to drink cappuc­cinos. These don’t taste bad just different.

Socorro: I’m kind of avoiding to try them. They smell like they’re coated in coffee creamer.

Melissa: Just try it, it’s not that bad.

Socorro: Ehh…(munches a single chip) They taste like a stale churro.

Jesse: Not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Melissa: I don’t really like it.

Reggie: You keep eating them though.

Socorro: I don’t find anything redeeming about them but I keep eating them too.

Reggie: Like Melissa said, the powder does taste good.

Socorro: Yeah I don’t know, I don’t think I was mentally prepared for that flavor.

 Results: Wasabi was the favorite for Melissa, Reggie, and Socorro. While Jesse enjoyed the Mango Salsa the best.

 UPDATE: Wasabi and Ginger has been announced as the official winner of the contest!
