Not enjoying salt & vinegar is just a sign of weakness

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.

Here in NZ we have the regular salt and vinegar chips, but also the more intense vinegar and salt chips.

I like the stronger ones, but too many makes my mouth feel like it is about to fall out.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

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.

Pro tip: After vomiting, have a glass of milk (assuming you can keep it down). It'll neutralize the stomach acid burning your throat

I'm both of those things, so that checks out.

UK lemmings be piling in to explain how this is the best flavour in the world...

... Which it is

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 days ago (5 children)

I was always blown away by the wild chip flavors when I traveled to England as a kid. Monster Munch is a flavor unlike anything you can find stateside

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Monster Munch is a brand. They do a tangy pickled onion, roast beef, flaming hot, and a handful of others. Pickled Onion are incredible.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

Yeah but if someone says monster munch and doesn't specify the flavour you know they mean pickled onion.

I started to angrily disagree but on reflection it's true, at least in my case.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

I had it once.

It's disgusting. But I have to say... It grows on you.

I ate the whole bag including the crumbs.

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).

Some of the UK ~~potato chip~~ crisp flavors I'm learning about are really freakin' weird to someone who comes from the land that invented them.

Prawn cocktail? Beef? Pickled onion?

And then there's this...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

prawn cocktail fucking slaps though

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

For all I know, it is the greatest potato chip flavor in the world. America's range of flavors is surprisingly limited.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You want weird? We also have fish flavored crisps.

And they really do taste like scampi.

Do you realize you just insulted my entire race of people?!

But yes

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

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.

Every fibre of my body repulses this flavour but I LOVE pure salt chips.

In Spain I was betrayed when I wanted "normal" salted ones and was confronted with the most disgusting taste a chip can possibly hold.

Never again..

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

If you’re not gasping for air after inhaling on a freshly opened bag then they are not worthy

when I was a kid, I was convinced that salt/vinegar combo was attractive to smokers because they'd burned out their ability to taste stuff unless it was extreme.

now I don't think it's limited to smokers, but all folks who have burned out their taste buds. Never liked them or sought them out, but:

Utz salt and vinegar are actually.... pretty fucking good, and that's a damned high praise from someone who doesn't like the flavor at all I think.

What freak doesn't like salt and vinegar?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

80% chance this person is Canadian

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The heck kind of flavour is ‘all dressed’?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

ketchup, BBQ, sour cream and onion, and salt and vinegar all on one chip

Laughs in Canadian.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

True, I’m a freak and a pervert and the sort of person who has considered buying salt and vinegar powder because she loves the chips so much

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Huh. Guess I'll have to try them.
