Archer Farms Smoky Bacon & Cheddar Baked Crisps

Wow.  Now that’s a name.  First thing to remember is that this is a potato crisp, and not a potato chip.  Now that that is out of the way, the chips, er, I mean crisps.

The smell is the first thing that got me.  These smell of Bacos, which actually makes perfect sense to me.  But then the taste, matches the smell.  Bacos.  Well, not quite.  Bacos covered in processed cheese powder.  But maybe that much is to be expected?  Unfortuantely, Bacos is not exactly bacon.  In fact, it is nowhere close to being bacon.  However, while these chips don’t manage to give you the taste of bacon, they do manage to give you the salt of bacon.  With a processed cheese taste.  So what we really have here is Salty Almost Cheddar Smells Like Bacos Baked Potato Crisps.  For some reason, I don’t think that flavor would sell very well.  In fact, I don’t think it would sell at all.  Which is what these crisp should be.  Not sold.  It is very rare that I find a chip, crisp, or any other item that I don’t like, but in this case, it stands out as an exception.

Yes, there is the standard baked crisp crunch, and lack of grease, both good.  But without a taste, they belong back on Archer Farms.
