**My Experience with Lay's Stax Chips**

As I sat down to taste these Lay's Stax chips, I couldn't help but feel excited about the experience. With their unique packaging in the form of a tennis-ball container, I was eager to see how they would compare to Pringles. Upon first glance, I noticed that the chips were smaller in diameter than Pringles, and had a slightly more irregular texture.

**Unboxing and Initial Impressions**

When I opened the package, I was greeted by the aroma of dehydrated potato and a hint of sweetness. The chip itself has a distinctive crunch to it, which is slightly different from the thicker, more rounded shape of Pringles. As I picked up the chip, I noticed that it had a slight sheen to it, which added to my anticipation.

**Tasting the Chips**

I decided to take a bite and was immediately struck by the flavor profile of the chips. The initial taste was that of dehydrated potato, which is a classic flavor for Lay's potato chips. However, I was surprised to find that the chip had a sweet and salty taste, rather than the expected savory or umami flavors. This reminded me of Japanese sembei or Chinese rice crackers, with their sweet and salty coating.

**The Five-Spice Flavor**

As I continued to snack on the chips, I noticed that the flavor was not particularly strong, especially compared to other Lay's potato chip flavors I had tried in the past. However, when I picked up on a strong five-spice flavor, it added a unique twist to the taste experience. The five-spice flavor profile is distinctive and characteristic of Chinese cuisine, with its blend of cinnamon, star anise, and other spices.

**Comparing Flavors**

As I continued to taste the different flavors of Lay's Stax chips, I couldn't help but compare them to Pringles. While both chips have a dehydrated potato flavor, they differ significantly in terms of texture and overall taste experience. The five-spice flavor was definitely a highlight of the experience, with its distinctive aroma and flavor profile.

**Conclusion**

Overall, my experience with Lay's Stax chips was a mixed bag. While some flavors, such as tomato and sizzling barbecue, were pleasant but not particularly strong or memorable, others like finger-lickin' braised pork featured five-spice flavor that added a unique twist to the taste experience. Despite this, I would still recommend trying Lay's Stax chips for their unique texture and flavor profile.

before and they are Lay's potato chips from China now I have tasted a lot of Lay's potato chips when they were doing their vote for flavor campaigns I tasted all of them and I will put a link to the playlist down below in case you are interested some interesting flavors but I have never had Chinese potato chips before and some of these flavors sound really interesting I'm going to taste this one first this is the numb and spicy hot pot flavor so not only is it spicy but it's gonna have that numbing sensation which comes from the Sichuan peppercorns so I've tasted several instant hot pots if you missed those videos I will also put links down below and up above woo immediately I smell potato chip and it smells kind of barbecued if I do smell some chili it smells like roasted chili as pictured these are the kind of like ruffles style potato chips like wavy but small wavy the chips have a kind of orange hue to them with little speckles on them they smell really good alright here we go let's get my taste itadakimasu I like those nice and flavorful at first it tastes almost like a barbecue potato chip but it's not it tastes like hotpot it does it has a little bit of that instant bullion flavor and there is a little bit of heat I'm trying to see if it's numbing my tongue at all I'm not feeling any of the numbing sensation yet but I've only had one chip hmm sometimes hot pots a little bit - licorice Eeyore annecy for me but not in this case this is very flavorful it tastes like soup base with some chili pepper in there but not overpowering and now I'm getting a little bit of that numbing sensation it's kind of on the tip of my tongue it feels like there's a little bit of novocaine on the tip of your tongue it's not unpleasant actually it's kind of fun a little bit kind of like when you have a mentholated cough drop like you know something's not quite right mmm and because of the similarity in terms of flavor to barbecue I think this would be well suited for Western palates as well of course you've got the whole familiarity of the chip as well pretty good next let's try another way with chip and this is roasted chicken wing flavored now this is the flavor that I was really looking forward to because I love me some drawings and I mean in potato chip form sorry audio ooh that has some chicken bullion and all that good okay do these ridges look really big these look obscenely big okay potato chip experts does that seem like bigger ridges to you it definitely does to me like the ridges are deeper and more pronounced I'm getting a very strong smell of instant chicken bullion like when you open the orange package of the mutter chun chicken flavor yes that's what this smells like not unpleasant pretty good all right let's give it go oh I like that now the crunch is a little bit different mm-hmm it seems like although these waves are bigger in size this seems to be a lighter crunch as if the chip is a little bit thinner I think what I don't like about the ruffle styles if they tend to be a bit hard for me at anyway these seem to have a crisper crunch and the chicken flavor is good it tastes like the chicken bullion but no celery flavor and it's slightly sweet so you've got that umami chickeny bullion flavor with some sugar mmm I'm trying to discern if there's any chili in there there might be a little bit of heat but maybe that's residual from the numb and spicy hot pop in terms of flavor I like it but does it taste like roasted chicken wings no now let's taste this one I am very curious about this flavor and this is cucumber cucumber flavor all right what's gonna smell like it smells like cucumber it has that kind of green vegetal smell it smells a little bit like fresh watermelon Wow and fried potato chips interesting but the style of this chip is gonna be the classic leaves Wow which I like so they look like a regular style lays some color some size and thinness but has little green flecks on it kind of looks like black pepper but it's dark green so while I was curious about this flavor I'm actually not a huge fan of cucumber but I want to see if they taste like cucumber so while it does taste a little bit like cucumber it doesn't taste like cucumber body lotion or anything it's not sweetened and over-the-top artificial but what it does taste like to me oddly enough it's it tastes like naughty-naughty is the seaweed that's used in sushi that black seaweed it tastes a lot like that or seasoned nori so it has some sugar in it and some salt and definitely some msg mm-hmm I like it the cucumber flavor is not too strong and actually tastes a lot like seaweed pretty good I've never made that association before of seaweed tasting at all like cucumber ah interesting the last of our bag kata chips this one and this is the grilled squid flavor so this is gonna be similar to be roasted chicken wing in the sense that it's going to be that wavy style open this one and see if it opens as vigorously oh my gosh they still business up with like extra nitrogen okay okay these are small like shrimp chips and they smell nice and toasty okay in terms of color it looks pretty similar to the roasted chicken wing and again these really deep V cuts hmm that's not bad the initial flavor I get is a really strong toasted flavor baked and dry and then in the back you get kind of a seafood flavor I think of all of them this one actually surprisingly is my least favorite I like the cucumber actually better than this there's also a little bit of a five-spice flavor to that as well the squid flavor is actually pretty subtle and the very very end the strongest flavor is that nutty toastiness a bit like sesame seeds hmm my favorite so before I taste the next round of chips let me tell you a little bit more

ten dollars a month big thanks to skill share of response during this video now let's eat some more chips now we're gonna taste these and these are the lays Stax chips and these are similar to Pringles they're packaged in this kind of tennis-ball container and just based on the cylinder size I think these are gonna be a little bit smaller in diameter this one is the tomato flavor let's see what this one's like I've never had Lay's stock potato chips before and they're different from Pringles because it comes to the little sleeve and they are definitely smaller than Pringles definitely and they have less of an arc and they seem to be a little bit bumpy err in texture the one thing I have learned tasting Pringles is that if you place them upside down they fit better in your mouth doesn't smell all that tomatoey alright here we go mmm the textures also a little bit different than Pringles they're a little more crisper the bite isn't as thick and it has a similar flavor of dehydrated potato which isn't bad these are significantly sweet though and a little taste of tomato but there's none of that Italian seasoning or kind of herbal seasonings at all it's actually just sweet and salty pretty sweet actually if you've ever had Japanese sembei before or Chinese then before that matter that's what these remind me of that very kind of sweet salty coating on the outside of those crispy rice crackers that's what this is like tomato flavor barely tasting it if at all mmm the sizzle to barbecue flavor mm-hmm but surprisingly doesn't have all that much of a strong I was expecting it to be very smoky it's not it's kind of meaty hmm here we go so even with the sleeve there is some breakage on the bottom here hmm so it seems like as opposed to the regular Lay's potato chips the stacked versions at least based on these last two flavors don't exactly taste as what they say if I was just blindfolded and give him this trip I would you say huh that's a nice savory chip I would never know that it was supposed to be meaty or barbecue E or sizzling barbecue mm-hmm having said that it's not at all unpleasant it's actually not bad it's just not specific like the cucumber or the numb and spicy hot pot flavor I just sort of snack flavor right so my last stock flavor is the finger-lickin braised pork flavor and after having the last two I'm not imagining this one to have a very strong listening to flavor as well but let us see okay we have this trough so I saved this one for last and this one has the most specific flavor this has a lot of five-spice flavor in it and in five-spice is that classic Chinese seasoning that has five spices which includes cinnamon star anise and a couple others so it has a very distinctive flavor and this definitely has it very strong five-spice flavor same blank canvas of the dehydrated potato so I like the combination five-spice particularly with meat but I don't really want it on my potato chips I think I would definitely opt for one of the others before I went for this one all righty so there you have it my very first taste of Chinese Lay's potato chips so thank you guys so much for watching big thanks to Skillshare for
