Freaky Flavors

Not enjoying salt & vinegar is just a sign of weakness

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

... Which it is

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.

Can confirm, I like that flavour.

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).

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

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

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.

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

Fixed it:

TIL: I’m a freak and pervert

What freak doesn't like salt and vinegar?

TIL that I am also a freak.

Then I'm about to get my fuckin FREAK on.

opens a bag

Meanwhile in Lithuania:

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

Hello, am freak.

Not gonna lie I'll happily take being a freak if it means I've got an excuse to inhale salt and vinegar crisps until my eyes are watering from the flavour

Neuroatypical person when confronted with the existence of people with different opinions

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

Someone's looking for ways to stir Britannia to war, I see.

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

the only flavour that matters

It is the best flavour by a country mile.

I'm a proud member of both groups.

Canadians. Is vinegar on french fries popular elsewhere?

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

But yes

Jokes on you, I'm into that!

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...

I had it once.

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

I ate the whole bag including the crumbs.

What would Dill Pickle flavor be? It's just salt & vinegar chips with added dill flavor. But it's still better.

Absolutely perfect with a pint of Guinness. Perfect.

It's the best flavor. Then it's all dressed, then queso ruffles

The "we have sour cream and onion at home" flavor

Salt & vinegar goes amazingly well with onion dip.

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.

I've never had the fortune of trying salt and vinegar flavoured stuff. Seems like there's a really ardent fandom around it

Laughs in Canadian.

Hey!!

...yeah.

Hey! Completely true!

i.e. the British

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..

Huh. Guess I'll have to try them.
