Lay's Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Popper chips are pretty good. Not thrilling, but pretty good. Are they doing the wacky flavor contest again this year? I haven't seen them yet. I got pimento cheese (basically just their cheddar/sour cream) and fried green tomatoes which I haven't had yet. only reason I...
