Lay's Vs Pringles chips (china market version)


After several months in Beijing, suddenly I crave for cheese flavour snack (craving for 7/11 cheese sauce, but never seen it here). So when I go to a nearby hypermart here, I bought this 2 beautiful can of snack ^.^

Price wise, Lay's slightly cheaper than Pringles (RMB 2 difference) but the content, Pringles have more (6 gr difference) :O
For the taste.......
Because I really crave for cheese and in my mind, cheese flavour is salty cheese.... so I prefer pringles. Here's for detail:


Lay's: in package written "sea salt and cheese flavor" with orange colour, like other common cheese flavour snacks. I really appreciate the slide-in plastic tube inside. It really minimalize the messy chips eating process. Instead hovering for the cans, you only need to slide out the tube. A little bit dissapointed because I can't see the usual orange powder (I don't know if it because the lack of the artificial cheese flavour or artificial orange colouring) in the chips.  As you can see in picture (2nd picture), the chips  feels naked, no colour, nothing at all. When I eat it...... it feels weird. Instead cheesy, it taste sweet..... I don't know where it comes? Did they put wrong seasoning or it comes from the sea salt?

 (I never eat raw seasalt before so I'm not sure. Is it suppose to be sweet or salty?)

Next: Pringles!
In the package its written "cheesy cheese flavor", same package colour with Lays, orange colour. I think they both have common chips package shape. I really feel delightful when I see Pringles have orange powder scattered in their chips, and more delighted when I take a bite and it really have cheese flavour, the cheesy-salty flavour. But unfortunately the cheesy flavour not too strong, unlike the USA or Indonesian version. Maybe because they not put too much MSG or artificial flavour inside? But at least this thin cheesy flavour can appease my  craving for cheese chips.


Overall, because that time I really craving for cheese, I prefer ...... Pringles (品容/pin rong)


*for anyone wondering where to buy, You can try search C4, WalM*rt or other local supermarket in China. And becareful if you really craving for cheesy chips and 'accidentaly' buy the imported one, the price can go north from RMB 20 >.<
