    My home state has salt and vinegar chips that are so acidic that eating more than a handful will burn the inside of your mouth and the skin on the edge of your lips will fall off.

    So anyway those are my favorite flavor ever and I eat so many every time I have the chance to eat them that I can’t taste for a week.

    Edit: I hate autocorrect. Always have.

      I suppose the fix is to find a basic drink to neutralize the acid before it burns your mouth?

      I can’t think of any basic drinks…

      EDIT: Apparently, milk, tea, and certain juices are basic/alkaline.

    S&V was an unknown flavour in my country. So i was rather sceptical when I tried fries in the UK with that kind of seasoning for the first time.

    I am a convert now. Anyone who considers this flavour “freaky” can go and drown in American ketchup (you know that kind with 50% HFCS).

      Bro, both Ketchup and S&V are worse than salted. They taste so bad they actively lower the quality compared to no flavouring at all

    Hmm… in Canada that is one of the basic best selling flavours… you basically have to offer salt and vinegar if you sell chips. Is it really that uncommon in the states. I mean I heard it’s hard to get ketchup flavour down there, but I wouldn’t have suspected salt and vinegar as being rare.

      Nah salt and vinegar chips are also very popular in the US. But I’m not personally a fan, so I agree with the meme.

      As for ketchup flavored chips. I did not know that was a thing, you may be right about that.

        Yeah, ketchup is basically salt and vinegar but with sugar and “tomato” powder. So it’s ultimately a bit milder than salt and vinegar.

          Ketchup chips taste more like “plain salsa” chips to me. Just a vague tomato flavor with no tang at all.

          I’ll eat salt and vinnie’s all day though, so maybe i’m biased.

      As an American fan of salt and vinegar chips, you’re never having a hard time finding them, but they’re not in the variety packs and if you bring them to a cookout without any other flavors you will get mean looks. Though really the only flavor other than plain that wouldn’t get you mean looks for only bringing it is barbecue (maybe jalapeño)

    While they may co-occur, I think my enjoyment of Salt & Vinegar chips is independent of my freakiness and perversion

    salt and vinegar is the 2nd best flavour (behind all dressed of course)
