These Thai “Extra Barbecue” chips were surprisingly good. The flavor was sort of reminiscent of regular barbecue Lay’s with some sort of seafood type flavor that wasn’t very strong.
God dammit. There’s now a Long Island Clam Chowder I need to be aware of? I thought I was cool with New England vs Manhattan. And then someone added “Rhode Island.” Now this.
I’m with you. I said it in the ice cream flavors thread too. I love chips too much to waste my time and money on weird flavors that I’m probably not going to like. I think the weirdest one I ever tried was Lays Street Taco. They were ok. I ate a couple and then they went into the cupboard until they got stale and I had to throw them away. Most of the odd flavors, even if they taste good are flavors that you only want to eat a few of.
That’s pretty much correct, in my experience. They’re good for the first few bites and then it becomes overwhelming.
It’s not a chip, but a few weeks ago I came across Cinnamon Toast Crunch “Fuego” edition. Them being on the clearance shelf should have tipped me off. Hey, if you love the taste of Big Red chewing gum (or Hot Tamales candy) and want it in cereal form, this is for you. Thankfully, I didn’t put them in milk or I would have tossed out that milk. The absolute foulest cereal I have ever eaten, and there’s no close competitor. I texted my brother the picture of the packaging and his reply was “Don’t do it!” He says it went straight into the garbage. I’m not one to waste food, so I kept it on the shelf for a couple weeks, but I just ended up throwing it in the garbage anyway.
I was talking to my wife about this post and reminiscing. She mentioned that she loves oysters and Lay's Roasted Garlic Oyster Flavor Potato Chips - 70g — Exotic Snacks Company and the lobster chips / crawfish chips
It mostly tastes like liver sausage
Not exactly a potato chip, but I found “Banana Puffs” in a Japanese market recently. Think of puffy Cheetos, but with horrible artificial banana flavor instead of cheese. They were terrible.
In the 1950s Tayto, an Irish brand,produced cheese-and-onion crisps; in America Herr’s introduced barbecue seasoning. Today there are more than 1,000 crisp flavours worldwide, ranging from mustard mayonnaise to salmon sushi, baked beans and salted egg.
I might like salmon sushi. I think I could do without beans, mustard mayonnaise and salted egg. Thousand year old egg too.
Are there any peanut butter-flavoured chips?
Not quite the same thing, but Reese’s has that Big Cup with the potato chip in it. (Love the damn thing!)
I think it would be a hit but probably not easy to manufacture. Fried chips get dusted with the flavor stuff (Doritos, Krunchers) but peanut butter doesn’t really powderize like that. And let’s not give them any ideas about artificial peanut butter flavorants.
We can always dip!
Not chips, but peanut-flavored corn puffs (British brand linked for convenience, but the ones I buy are from Germany):
Tim’s Cascade used to be fried in peanut oil.
There is such a thing as powdered peanut butter and it looks like its popularity is spreading.
Interesting. Wonder what mixing the powder in water or milk would be like. I would predict: disagreeable. 
I often get delegated to pulverize the peanuts for a Thai recipe like Pad Thai. I just use the traditional Thai mortar and pestle (croak and sacre bur). I try for a nice small but still crunchy hunk but there is lots of powdered peanut in the blend. Probably too thick for spraying on chips but it seems like it can be made even finer.
Powdered peanut butter is a thing some fitness people put in their smoothies. It has much lower calories and fat than actual peanut butter, so is not equivalent. It tastes like peanuts. I would prefer dipping my chips into actual peanut butter if I was into that sort of thing.
The article @Die_Capacitrix posted does mention the powdered peanut butter product which says it’s defatted peanut which would certainly bring down the calories. I’ll been keeping an eye out for some, I’m curious what it tastes like on its own. Bad, of course, but HOW bad?
And seeing the puffed corn peanut poofs does remind me that I’ve seen similar, as well as breakfast cereal with peanut butter flavors.
Still, there aren’t many products using it and there must be mountains of the stuff from peanut oil production. After animal feed and soil additives(?), they probably start running out of ways to use it.
I saw this infographic last night and thought of my peanut pals here in the thread:

In a smoothie it tastes like peanut butter. I have a jar somewhere, but have not yet tried it on its own, which I assume would be disheartening.
NVM. Forgot I had already posted here.
Well, since the thread’s been bumped anyway, I had fried egg potato chips in Ireland back in summer 2023. They did taste exactly like fried eggs. Which was good, but a little weird, because it was kind of like eating crunchy fried eggs.
Saw this a couple of days ago:
