Have you already checked out the Lays summer collaboration in the new clip of the Khleb group? I was not very impressed with the shashlyndos from BREAD, just like the new Lays Strong with garlic.

Bread "shashlyndos", chips lace strong garlic

I love delicious chips I love spicy ones too. Even better when these 2 combinations are found in one pack. But THESE chips are more "spicy" than "tasty", so they did not win my love.

So, autumn novelty Lays Strong chips for beer "Chesnok".


◀◁◀ Description ▷

❤Volume: 75 grams

❤Price: 54 rubles

Thought it would be more expensive Lays from the oven at almost the same volume they are decently more expensive.

❤Place of purchase: Supermarket Pelican

This is the same line of "hot" chips. Did you notice at all nearly Are all the flavors in the Strong line spicy?)

"Jelly with horseradish", "Spicy chili", etc. I don’t know about chili, but I really liked it with jelly and horseradish. And garlic, well, like that .. for once.

Not to say that I’m directly disappointed, I don’t regret buying it, but I definitely won’t buy it again!


On each of the packs of Lays strong there is a "sharpness" scale:

  • Spicy
  • Spicy
  • super spicy

The leis with garlic shows that the spiciness here is moderate, but I do not agree. They are much sharper than "Heat up the emotions" and "Jelly with horseradish."

Oh yes, the composition, if suddenly it is important to someone - you can see it in the photo below, having increased it. It doesn’t matter to me, here it’s a no brainer that there are enough harmful things.


BJU is also very standard for chips. It is interesting that the manufacturer considers exactly 30 grams of the product for a serving and all the indicators are written specifically for this "portion" and not for the entire pack. Keep in mind.

The pack, as one would expect, is filled with 30 percent, no more. Well, empty packs are just business card lace =DD such a fraud of the manufacturer, to make bigger packs so that people think that there is a lot of content and take their goods.

Although laaaadno, okay, I'm not picking on the case))


I did not feel any aroma from the pack from the word at all.

And the chips look beautiful as always: ruddy, large and corrugated. Same as other Strong. I love corrugated ones - they are even more pleasant to eat, but for some reason not in this case ...


Crispy very, which is also a plus.

The taste is not revealed immediately, or is it probably correct to say that it is not revealed at all? called " find garlic in lays chips"- I never found it. Well, in the chips aspic with horseradish, the taste was rich and bright, just try it with your eyes closed and you'll say for sure - well, aspic, and hell))

In other tastes, too, it was somehow more pronounced. And here you can feel the taste of some kind of seasoning, which disappears after 3 seconds, and spiciness remains in the aftertaste. Where is she from? What sharpness is not clear. I ate chili pepper, paprika, real garlic, or maybe mustard - I did not notice the difference.


Strong refers more to men's chips. And this is not only clear from the inscription "to beer". Although I would not say that all men like it hot. For example, my husband does not cheat on classic lays with green onions at all.

Chips are one of the most popular potato products today. Despite all the resistance of nutritionists, everyone eats them: both adults and children. There are several brands of potato chips in the world. Among them, the most famous and loved by millions of people brand is Lays.

Manufacturer

Story Lays chips started in America in 1932. It was then that young entrepreneur Herman W. Lay started selling potato chips in Nashville, Tennessee. But then they were produced under the brand name Gardner's, and only in 1944 did the American change their name to Lays.

The first deliveries of "Lace" chips to Russia were organized in the early 90s. Then, as throughout the world, they gained immense popularity in the domestic market. Later, in 2002, the first plant in Russia for the production of Lays chips was opened. It is still successfully operating in the city of Kashira, Moscow Region. After another 8 years, in 2010, the second plant was opened in the city of Azov, Rostov Region. The volume of chips that they produce is able to fully cover the demand of buyers in the domestic market.

Chips production technology: from harvesting to packaging

Chip production is complex technological process, which has its own nuances. Without taking them into account, it will be difficult to get the same product that people around the world love. The fact is that certain varieties of potatoes are used to make chips. There are 7 of them in total, and only 3 of them are grown in Russia. Such potatoes are denser in structure than usual, it contains less starch and sugar. That is why Lays chips do not fall apart when frying, but remain whole and crispy.

The process of producing chips from processing the tubers to obtaining the finished product takes no more than 30 minutes. First, potatoes coming from the fields are washed in a large drum, then they are peeled and cut into thin slices. Their thickness is no more than 2 mm. After that, the slices enter the deep fryer, where they acquire a special color and crunch. Now the chips need to be well dried and sent to the drum with fragrant spices. left to pack finished product and enjoy your favorite taste. By the way, from 1 kg of potatoes, only 300 g of chips are obtained.

Types of chips Lays

Under the Lays trademark, 3 types of chips are produced, each of which has its own special tastes. Below are their names.

1. Ordinary (traditional) "Lays" chips - the very ones that started the production of this potato product in Russia.

2. Lays Max chips. When cutting them in the production process, special knives with a corrugated blade are used. The special shape contributes to a better frying of the chips, making them even more crispy and fragrant.

3. Lays Strong chips. They have a wavy shape, which allows you to make the taste more saturated. These are chips for beer, which are created specifically for lovers of foamy drinks.

Each of the three types has its own range of flavors, allowing each customer to enjoy their favorite potato product.

Lays Potato Chips: Flavors

  • "Bacon".
  • "With salt".

Composition of Lays chips

Chips with different flavors may differ in composition. But in general, they contain the following ingredients: potatoes, palm and sunflower vegetable oils,

It is the last component that carries some danger, since it contains salt, sugar, flavoring substances, flavor and aroma enhancers (monosodium glutamate, sodium guanylate, sodium inosinate), acidity regulators. Of all the flavors presented, the safest in composition are Lays “With Salt” chips, which are made only from potatoes and vegetable oil with added salt.

The nutritional value of chips is low. 100 grams contains about 6 g of protein, 30 g of fat and 53 g of carbohydrates. The calorie content of chips is 510-520 kcal per 100 g.

Useful properties and harm of chips

Chips can't be named useful product. And nutritionists agree with this. Them chemical composition and the nutritional value so meager that this product can be safely considered useless and even harmful.

The other day I was in the supermarket Europe and saw there just such a "new pack-cup" Lays Young green onion. I had never seen such a package, even pictures, so I became curious whether it was a novelty or an old onion taste!

Of course, such a package is more expensive than usual - 115 rubles for 240 gr.

The design is slightly different from the Green Onion flavor, it is lighter and more pleasant.

Producer Pepsi CoProdaks.

As the manufacturer indicated, this pack has been modernized: for convenience, a special dotted line has been created along which you can easily tear off the top of the package. Now the pack has become wider and lower, just like a large bowl. It is really convenient to eat from it, it is much better because the hands do not get dirty up to the elbow!


The composition does not seem to differ at all from previous lays onion chips.


They smell and look identical to the old version ... and the taste seemed to me and my husband an exact copy of the usual green onion lace! Moderately salty, moderately spicy, few broken, not very brittle.

I came across a couple of spoiled ones, which is a rarity these days.


It remains a mystery to me why change the design, if you could just change the shape of the package. I think it's a ploy to increase sales.

Leys with "young" onions will also appeal to lovers of old onions =) In fact, this is the same thing!

Thanks to the company that produces the beloved Lays chips, it became possible to purchase packages that have completely different weights. Unfortunately, not every volume can be found in our area, since in Russia the average volume is the most common - 150-170 grams. Packs of this size are most often bought for watching TV by a large and friendly family, so that both adults and children have enough.

How much does the package weigh?

Despite the fact that both small and large packs of Lays chips contain useful vitamins and substances, they contain even more components that negatively affect the body. In particular, a large presence of salt. However, since this type of food has long taken root among citizens, few people can refuse to buy even a small pack of this crispy delicacy.

Also, a large pack of Lays chips is most common among young people. According to the data, there are several types of pack weights in the world: 30 grams, 60 grams, 80 grams, 100 grams, 140 grams, 160 grams, 180 grams, 200 grams and 500. In Russia, the most common weight of a Lays pack is 140 , 160 and 180 grams. It all depends on which factory the packaging is produced in.

Also, the weight of a pack of "Lays", equal to 30 grams, is almost impossible to find in stores. For sure, this volume is too small for consumption by the majority of the population, therefore, it is not so profitable. The most popular "Lays" chips can be considered a medium pack. It is ideal for trips to nature, treating guests, decorating dishes for many people at any celebration, as well as the most popular medium pack of "Lays" among football fans.

Packaging of chips for the company and its dimensions

Every time, gathering at the stadium during the match, you can see a large number of people eating crispy chips. Also, they are a bestseller in cafes that broadcast live sports. In addition, they have long been recognized by society as the most delicious and suitable snack for a foamy drink.

If we talk about small packs of "Lays", then this is perhaps an excellent volume for those who are overweight, but still cannot refuse a small portion of chips. Also, a small pack of "Lays" is convenient for children who will not be able to overeat them, since the volume is limited. And, therefore, it will not cause such severe harm to the body, which can be from the consumption of large packs of Lays chips, which have a greater weight.

The ratio of potatoes and ready-made chips

Probably, many people wondered, when buying both a large and a small pack of chips, how many chips are in a Lays pack? If you think about it, it is, of course, quite difficult to make accurate data. But, based on the averaged data, some calculations can be made.


For example, on average, a potato weighs 90 grams. Package weight - 85 grams. At first glance, it looks like there is about one potato in a bag of this size. However, this is a misleading feeling. Chips are dried potatoes. There are even some formulas by which you can easily and quickly calculate the number of potatoes spent. Using one of these, it turned out that in a pack weighing 85 grams there are about three and a half potatoes.


So, if you have a desire to calculate how many chips are in a pack of "Lays", the most in a simple way will count them, since there is not a ton of data on this. Packaging is carried out by machine, moreover, if there was poor transportation, the product may break, which means that it will be quite problematic to put together crispy goods from the package.


Despite the fact that this delicacy is quite popular, as well as packs of Lays chips have different weights, it is better not to abuse this product, no matter how tasty it may seem. A wide variety of "Lays" chips from 30 to 500 grams per pack helps to choose the most appropriate packaging for a particular occasion and company. This is a very convenient food that has a high calorie content, so this is the best option for a long trip, even for one, even for a large company.


Lays chips, regardless of the number of grams in a pack, contain vitamins E and B. But, in addition to useful ones, they also contain quite harmful additives, such as dye, flavor enhancer, flavor, as well as other flavors that are harmful to the human body, causing with frequent use obesity, an increase in blood clots, and also impair metabolism, which has an extremely bad effect on well-being and the general condition of the body.


To eat or not to eat? This is the choice of everyone. However, if you still want something salty and crispy, then the best option from the proposed variety of snack packages, there will be the smallest one. Then such an amount of harmful substances consumed will not have a large negative impact on both an adult and a child, in whom, as you know, the body is just beginning to develop and grow, absorbing both vitamins and minerals and bad impurities.
