Judging Herr's Potato Chips Game Day Flavors

What happens when two iconic regional flavors go head-to-head in potato chip form — and our taste buds are the referees? In this episode of Judging Things, we crack open two bold Game Day Flavor potato chips from Herr’s: Carolina Style BBQ Pulled Pork and Philly Cheesesteak. One promises smoky Southern barbecue goodness, while the other attempts to capture the unmistakable taste of Philadelphia’s most famous sandwich… but can a potato chip really pull that off?We put both flavors to the ultimate test with honest reactions, unexpected opinions, and plenty of laughs along the way. From first impressions and aroma checks to texture debates and flavor surprises, nothing escapes judgment. If you’ve ever wondered whether limited-edition snack flavors live up to the hype (or just love hearing strong opinions about snack food), this episode delivers entertaining verdicts, relatable commentary, and a flavor journey you won’t want to miss.
