As backyard grilling season heats up, snack enthusiasts face the age-old dilemma: what to bring to a cookout that’s both crowd-pleasing and memorable. While classic chips like Lay’s Cheddar & Sour Cream remain reliable, FritoLay is stirring up excitement with a bold new flavor: Ruffles Greek-Style Ranch. Spotted recently at Costco, the chips blend tangy ranch seasoning with Greek-inspired notes, sparking curiosity—and lively debates—online.
The flavor, which combines herby, garlicky undertones with a surprising kick of Parmesan cheese, has left snack fans torn between comparisons to traditional ranch and tzatziki, the creamy Greek dip made with yogurt and cucumber. “Greece doesn’t eat much ranch. Does FritoLay mean tzatziki?” asked one Reddit user, while another coined the portmanteau “Rantziki” to describe the confusing yet intriguing blend. Despite the debate, early tasters are overwhelmingly positive, with one reviewer giving the chips a 9/10 and praising their “bright lemon, dill, and Parmesan” profile.
Social media has erupted with enthusiasm, too. On Instagram, fans declared they’d “buy the giant bag” and praised the flavor as a must-try for Ruffles loyalists. For now, the chips are exclusive to Costco, with no word yet on a wider release. As barbecue invitations pile up, savvy snackers are urging others to grab a bag— or two—before they vanish from shelves.
