Lays Ketchup Potato Chips: Worth the Tariff? Hell Yeah!

One bite of these Canadian snacks and suddenly Carly Rae Jepsen wasn’t the only export I was obsessed with.

A Canadian friend introduced me to Lays Ketchup Potato Chips, and now I'm completely hooked. Totally worth the border-crossing snack run.

So what's my latest addiction? No, it’s not a video game or some new superhero or Star Wars spinoff show. It’s Lays Ketchup Potato Chips. And oh man, they are amazing.

This all started when my friend from Canada showed up to our usual karaoke night with a surprise gift just for me. At first, I was like, “What the heck is this?” But then he handed me a bright red bag of Lays Ketchup Chips and said, “You’re gonna love these.” Now that’s friendship! I mean, who knows what kind of crazy international snack tax he had to pay to bring those across the border. But hey, at least it wasn’t manatee meat or something WiLD like that.

Anyway, I opened the bag, and the smell hit me—pure ketchup fire. I’ve loved ketchup since I was a little kid. French fries and ketchup were my jam. But this? This was next-level stuff. It’s like someone took a French fry, flattened it into a chip, and just went nuts with the ketchup flavor. My taste buds were dancing.

Now, that wasn't all. My buddy also brought another bag—some brand called No Name Ketchup Chips. Yeah, that’s actually what they’re called. “No Name.” I guess that’s why I’ve never heard of them. I mean, how do you even advertise that? “Hey, try our chips! We don’t have a name!” But to be honest, they were pretty good too. Not quite as amazing as the Lays, though. Those Lays just hit different.

It was a super cool move from my neighbor to the north. Canada really does give us some good stuff. Like Ryan Reynolds. And that chick who sings Call Me Maybe. I like that song.

So yeah, if you ever get the chance to try Lays Ketchup Chips, don’t even think about it… Just do it. You might find your new favorite snack. I know I did.
