Lay’s Stax Nori Seaweed Flavor

My family is not well-off so the few times that I got to enjoy eating a big bag of Lay’s were memorable. I remember how my younger brother and I would wrestle to get our hands at the bottom of the bag. I have vivid memories of eating these thinly-sliced potato chips until my hands got soaked with oil and salt.

I was surprised when my friend Erlie brought Lay’s Stax during our Laiya trip. It was not the Lay’s that I grew up with. It actually gave me the idea that it was developed to compete with Pringles because of their similarities in shape and thickness. I recalled eating almost half of the contents of the canister because I was really tired from cooking our dinner. I have to admit that I prefer Pringles over Lay’s Stax. And yes, I miss the oil of my favorite Lay’s!

Boyet surprised me a few days ago when he took this out of his backpack.

I honestly think that nori in potato chips is an absurd idea. I laughed when I saw Pringles’ seaweed flavor from the grocery racks. I love maki but the thought of eating nori all by itself makes me cringe. I opened the plastic bag and saw the small green sprinkles over the potato chips. I already had the assumption that the potato chips would have a fishy and salty taste. But it was surprisingly on the sweet side!
