Who is Joe? I don't know, but he makes chips. They're not even Joe's Chips - they are simply Joe Chips. My dad happened to see these at the store and grabbed me a bag. Thanks! I'm intrigued to see how toasted onions stack up against regular onions!
The chips have an odd smell; I'm not sure if it's the toasted onions, or something mysterious and sinister. The smell a little bit like Ramen instant soup powder. Not the soup itself, but just the powder. I'm also used to more seasoning nibblies on my sour cream and onion chips - these don't seem to have very many. What does it all mean!?
But what do they taste like?
They taste a little bit like the Ramen packet smells, but also with a hint of sour cream and onion. There's a lot a bit of a flavor which I have to assume is the toasted part of the onion. It's strange - they both have flavor and don't have much flavor at the same time.
There's also a big kick of salt in that first bite before the other flavors make themselves known - and of grease since these seem to be your standard kettle cooked chips. I also feel like part of the flavor I'm getting is the chip grease taste? Tough to say. If I tried these without knowing the flavor I think it'd take me a minute to figure out they're sour cream and onion.
They taste good, but they're not as sour cream and onion-y as most sour cream and onion chips. Since I rather like that taste, I'll probably stick to other brands, but these aren't bad. Still not sure why the onion is 'toasted', though.
