I've only tried one of the
new summer flavors from Lay's, because chile mango sounds too sweet, and BLT just sounds awful.
But the Jerk Chicken ones are pretty good. Disappointingly for the group I was going to serve them to, they're not vegetarian (chicken extracts are listed, but not particularly noticeable in the flavor).
The first flavor that hit me was allspice, and the chips at the top of the bag seemed to have no heat at all, which was disappointing. It's possible the chile settled out, because the bottom of the bag definitely had a nice heat level (shake gently).
I can't say it's that close to Jerk Chicken, but it's a fun flavor -- very little sugar, nice balance of salt, heat and other warm spices (I'd add a bit more ginger, maybe thyme).
I'd give it a B+, I'd buy again.
