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

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.

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

But that's the good stuff.

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

I believe these are potato and beet flavors.

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

Why not have beet chips at that point? Like, from beet instead of potato. Its amazing

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

Looks like specifically cold borshch flavour. So beets and yoghurt

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

That doesn't really sound bad; I love a savory chip.

I'm sure farsighted people appreciate this 🙏

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks 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] 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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

I'm a proud member of both groups.

Canadians. Is vinegar on french fries popular elsewhere?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

It's how fish and chips are traditionally served

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

US here. They have malt vinegar out at 5 Guys, but that's the only time I eat fries with vinegar down here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Long John Silver's. Though the malt vinegar isn't necessarily for the fries. Shit, is LJS even still around? There was only one where I live and it's gone.

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

it’s pretty popular in my house

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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).

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You tried chips in the UK btw

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I wanted to keep it readable for the American audience. Actually, I tried both: Crisps and Chips.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Aye fuck that mate, not our fault they have the reading comprehension of toddlers 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

Ironically you just made it more confusing. Americans know that fries are chips and chips are crisps in England. Just call them what they're called there; most people will know what you're talking about.

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

Yeah its like converting to centigrade for us.

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] 4 points 3 weeks ago

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)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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.
