3. French Onion

This particular flavor has to be in my top three for sure. It uses some great spices and herbs that I love the flavors of, such as onion powder, green onion powder, parsley, and paprika. Another cult favorite of many other chips besides Sunchips (besides almost anything cheddar or cheese flavored) is Sour Cream and Onion or French Onion.

Upon doing some more research on this flavor of chips as well, I found out some interesting ingredients that are used pretty often in making these chips, and I will list them below:

  • Brown Sugar (the chips definitely aren’t sweet and don’t elude to having brown sugar being used in the ingredients list)
  • Mozzarella Cheese (I can understand this because of what’s used to make French Onion Soup, but don’t really taste it compared to all of the other flavors/ingredients used)
  • Cheddar Cheese (I definitely do not taste this in there, but maybe that’s a good thing that cheese isn’t taking over an onion-flavored chip as well)

Generally, if you’re a fan of onion-flavored chips and snacks alike, then you’ll definitely be a fan of these. Even though they’re not being advertised as Sour Cream & Onion flavored, it for sure tastes like that (which definitely isn’t a bad thing at all, but just making a little note here).

Overall, French Onion deserves an 8.1 out of 10.
