What other odd flavor concoctions are out there have you dopers discovered?
Well as I pointed out in my very first post on the SDMB…I have had :shudder: grape AND cherry potato chips…let me tell you they stayed on the market place for about a week before someone went…errr fruit flavoured potato chips…not a good thing…
In Ireland I was introduced to the wonder that is Cheese and Onion flavored potato chips. MMMMMMM!!! Two great tastes that taste great together. Now I see that Pringles has “introduced” Cheese and Onion potato chips to the US. In the last 6 mos or so, at least in my area. Man those things are great!
I particularly like the Old Bay flavored chips you can get in the Baltimore MD area (and probably farther afield). They usually have a graphic of a crab on the bag, though they’re not actually crab flavored, just Old Bay flavored. Mmmmmm. Super salty and yummy.
I also liked some chips I had in Australia called Burger Rings. They were kind of oniony and beefy and ketchup-y. Pretty darn good.
BTW: I dropped an email to Pringles to ask when they’d make Paprika flavored Pringles available in the US. They’re pretty good, too.
I stopped at a gas station in the boondocks here in Michigan and found mustard and onion flavored potato chips. Tasted like a hot dog - actually pretty good stuff, despite my initial hesitation.
From a local potato chip maker, I’ve seen “cheezborger” flavor chips. If you’ve seen the classic Saturday Night Live sketch with John Belushi, then that explains it. It was modeled after a real bar and grill (and real guy) in Chicago, the Billy Goat.
Tim’s Cascade Potato Chips (world’s best potato chips!) have a “Coney Island” flavor. Tastes pretty much like a hot dog with mustard.
I’ve had the crab chips, too. Not bad. When I was in Canada I was introduced to Ketchup Chips. Damn, those were good! Pretty salty, though. And fire-engine red!
Purd Werfect, I’ve had those Dill Pickle chips. They were great, but I actually had found them at Ames (a cheap department store) as a one-time thing, and now I can’t find them anymore. I can’t even remember the brand name of them to try and find them online. Do you remember? Wasn’t it Uncle Something?
Well, after doing a search on “dill pickle potato chips,” several companies seem to make them. I don’t think any of the ones I’ve found are the same one I’ve tried, though…
Those Utz Crab Flavored chips are also great. And another that I wouldn’t quite call “unusual,” but which is really tasty is the Poore Brothers Habanero Pepper flavored chips.
I see Ferrous mentioned Tim’s “Coney Island” flavored chips. I always imagined it to be just like Coney Island itself would taste if you licked it. I think it’s perfect for that – a bit of hot asphalt, a crumpled hot dog wrapper, garbage juice spilled on the ground, and the sweat of a hundred years’ worth of summer tourists. And yes, I do really like the chips.
Tim’s also have (or had) a “Steak & Potatoes” or maybe just “Steak” flavor – tasted like A1 poured onto potato chips. Really awful.
In just the vending machines at my school, there’s dill pickle chips, jalapeno chips, and occasionally ketchup chips. The ketchup chips aren’t exactly rare–I can buy them at some grocery stores.
The dill pickle chips were a bit weird to see, though. I haven’t worked up the nerve to try them yet. I can’t believe they’re all that popular.
