Frito-Lay decided that Canada is not the only country that can enjoy the taste of All Dressed chips. What are they, and why is the name so vague, you may ask?
All Dressed chips are a combination of barbecue, sour cream, cheddar, and salt and vinegar flavors.
But this is not the first time many Americans have heard of this Canadian flavor. BuzzFeed, known for its many videos featuring its staff members tasting foreign foods, featured this same flavor in the video “Americans Try Canadian Snacks For First Time,” in August 2014. While most of the snacks in the video were well-received by the public, All Dressed chips were a point of contention. Some called the chips “a journey” for the tongue while others thought it was “weak” and “bland.”
Fast-forward to February of this year and BuzzFeed ran another article under the same premise. “We Asked Americans To Taste And Review Canadian Ketchup Chips,” also featured a small section for the All Dressed chips, which were met this time around with rave reviews.
“These taste sooo much better than dresses,” Erin Chack said in the article.
This is only a promotion though; these chips will only be available from now through Dec. 7. And Shippensburg University students can purchase these chips in The Galley C-store.
So if you ever wondered how the Canadians eat, you can now find out for yourself.
