The Ruffles Greek-Style Ranch potato chips are a new version of the Frito-Lay brand's signature snack that features a familiar flavor profile with an updated international cuisine twist. The snack chip features the signature ridge-cut profile that Ruffles are known for and are covered in a seasoning that features notes of ranch dressing alongside additional tasting notes that call to mind Greek tzatziki dressing. This includes garlic, lemon, herb and parmesan notes for a taste that's at once herbaceous yet cheesy and creamy.
The Ruffles Greek-Style Ranch snack chips are currently only on offer at Costco and come as one of a growing number of retailer-exclusive food items that encourage consumers to visit for options they can't find anywhere else.
