Resolution #292: Develop A Signature Chip Flavor To Enter Into Lay's Chip Flavor Contest!!!

Date: 10-19-2014

Due Date: 10-19-2015

The Resolution: It seems that consumer flavoring chip contests are the way of the snack food's future. I like to think of myself as an outside-of-the-box idea-man. Today when I saw that Doritos is now making a Spicy Street Taco flavored chip, I knew at that moment I need to get in on this chip flavoring racket.

Why stop at the Street Taco? Why not have a chip that tastes like a Tijuana bacon water dog? How about a duck flavored Cheetos, shoved into a chicken-flavored Bugle, then stuffed all that into a turkey flavored Combo? Or falafel flavored chips?  

I don't know what the answer is, but I'm going to get to work on my recipe to someday enter into a chip flavoring contest once I feel it's just right.

Result #292: It's Been A Year And I’ve Failed To Find My Flavor…

Update #1: The Conclusion…

Date: 10-19-2015

I can't fully blame finances for my failure to create a signature chip flavor. Part of the problem is that I can't afford all the seasoning needed to experiment with flavors, the other part is that I don't really have a strong sense of taste. This makes deconstructing flavors that I can barely taste in the first place a tad bit difficult.

There is one more ingredient to this failure and that ingredient is wind. Yes… wind. I've lost a lot of the wind that pushed me through the first three-quarters of this whole resolution experiment. There are many life changes that I've made in the past year that have led to this lack of drive that I once had. I'm working through these issues and hope to be back to my A game in the near future.

Hopefully… I'll get there soon. If/when I do return to my old self or a new and improved me, I will redeem all my failures including this failed effort to flavor a chip and as always I'll keep you posted on my progress.
