Ruffles redefines its ridges with new Ruffles Ridge Twists

While Ruffles has longed believed in owning your ridges, the popular Frito-Lay snack brand is bringing a twist to snack time. With the new Ruffles Ridge Twists, this entirely new product not only brings the flavor but adds a new dimension to the eating experience.

Many people have a favorite snack. Whether it is the classic potato chip, cheesy goodness of Cheetos, or even the always tasty Doritos, often there is at least one bag in the pantry waiting to be enjoyed. While that iconic snack will always have its place, food innovation can bring excitement to the bowl.

In a recent brand announcement, the new Ruffles Ridge Twists are putting a new spin on the snacking experience. Described as having an “airy twist,” the ridges are still apparent, but different. These potato spirals can be eaten one at a time, by the handful or however a person chooses.

The new Frito-Lay snack comes in two flavors, Double Cheddar and Smoky BBQ. These flavors are similar to other offerings in the snack line. But, the new texture will change the eating experience. From the “airy” texture to the twist, there is a possibility that flavors will be more nuanced. Similar to how Kettle Chips intensify the flavor, the lighter chip might be an interesting vehicle for flavors.

More importantly, the crisp crunch will come through with every bite. From the buttery, cheesy flavors in the Double Cheddar to the sweet, smoky notes in the Smoky BBQ, there are plenty of food pairings to be enjoyed.

Looking at these two offerings, it is interesting that a traditional sour cream and chive was not offered. Maybe these new Ruffles Ridge Twists are tasty when dipped. It could add another turn to the eating enjoyment.
