If you know me, you know that I take snacking very seriously. And there's one snack that has eluded me for years. I went to college—ahem, university—up in Canada, where I was first introduced to what would become my all-time favorite chip flavor. It's consistently ranked the number one Ruffles chip flavor in Canada, and despite its mass popularity up North, is frustratingly hard to come by in the United States.

After spotting a "dupe" of sorts at Aldi back in June, I got a glimmer of hope, only to have it dashed when I learned they're a seasonal product for the store. Well, now I'm in full-blown celebration mode because FritoLay just announced the O.G. Ruffles All Dressed flavor chips are back.

FritoLay Brings Back Ruffles All Dressed

To ring in fall, aka "cozy season", FritoLay is bringing back Ruffles All Dressed. Starting this week, Ruffles All Dressed are available on American soil (and American grocery store shelves) once again. And I'm not the only one celebrating; according to a press release the flavor was "highly requested" by fans. Here's why.

If you like any of the tangy, vinegar-based chip flavors like BBQ, Salt and Vinegar, Sour Cream and Onion, Pickle or even Ketchup chips (another Canadian favorite), these are a must-try. I'm not exaggerating when I call this the best chip FritoLay has ever made—it's not a gimmick, it's just good.

All Dressed is not just a name—these chips literally get "dressed" with all the flavors. Well, really just four popular flavors: ketchup, BBQ, sour cream and onion, and salt and vinegar. The resulting flavor is pleasantly mouth-puckering, tangy and sweet, with subtly smoky and garlicky notes. In short—they're irresistible and impossible to stop eating.

I suspect I will not be the only one excited about this release. After being introduced to Americans’ hearts and stomachs in 2015, the chips sadly left shelves in 2021. Since then, there have been many calls for their return on social media and even entire Reddit threads dedicated to tracking them down stateside. Heck, even Ryan Gosling loves All Dressed chips. What more do you need to know?!

Ruffles All Dressed are available now alongside Lay’s newest flavor, Kettle Cooked Cajun Spice. You can find Ruffles All Dressed nationwide on grocery store shelves and on snacks.com, but they're only here for a limited time so stock up quickly (before I clear the shelves!)
