Trader Joe’s Just Brought Back the Snack That 'Won’t Last 24 Hours in Your House'

Some fans are calling it "the greatest achievement of human culture in the 21st century."

Whether you're packing them for lunch or serving them up at a picnic, there's no snack as versatile as potato chips. They make the perfect side for a loaded BLT or juicy hamburger but can also take center stage when you need a tasty movie snack or a simple road trip munchie.

We can always look to Trader Joe's for its delicious snack options like Step Up to The Snack Bar Mix and Pizza Party Chips. It's easy to fall in love with the store's unique finds quickly, but we are left disappointed when the grocer's limited-time offerings finish their run. While waiting is difficult, it's always a thrilling moment when browsing the aisles and noticing that a beloved snack has made its grand return.

Recently, Trader Joe's fans spotted a favorite on shelves after taking a seasonal hiatus, and they couldn't be more excited.

Trader Joe’s Carolina Gold BBQ Flavored Ridge Cut Potato Chips Return

Trader Joe’s Carolina Gold BBQ Flavored Ridge Cut Potato Chips are once again gracing shelves. With their distinct taste and big crunch, the tangy potato chips quickly became a popular late-summer staple among shoppers. A look into the bag, and you’ll immediately see what sets the chips apart. The TJ’s chips are a gold hue rather than the reddish-brown you would usually expect.

While many similar chips capitalize on tomato-based barbecue sauce flavors, the Trader Joe’s version makes use of those from gold barbecue sauce. If you’re unfamiliar with it, Carolina gold barbecue sauce utilizes a mustard base with a hint of sweet and smoky flavors that balance the zingy quality of the mustard. You can use it on all types of meat to add bold flavor, but it also makes a delicious addition to a crispy chicken sandwich.

In a recent Reddit thread, fans described the flavor as vinegar-forward and compared it to another golden sauce. "Honey Mustard with a kick–that's what they are in case anyone is wondering. Buy them with that in mind and you'll think they are the best chips ever. Going in with BBQ first might be a bit confusing," said one Redditor. Many expressed that the chips are so delicious they frequently don't last more than a day in their house. "Omg I buy an alarming amount of these every summer," shared one user. "They didn't even last the car ride home," another chimed in.

And it's not the only Trader Joe's snack shoppers have been enjoying in the car. Last month, they were running to snag mini carrot cakes and even packing purse forks to enjoy the sweet treat on the way home. But if you're more of a savory car-snacker, chips might be the answer. So grab a bag of the Carolina Gold-inspired chips on your next grocery run before the seasonal product is gone.
