Im enjoying a nice bag of Salt and Vinegar Potato chips, when I notice some curious wording on the bag. Artifically flavored
Why the hell do they need to artifically flavor salt and vinegar. I can only assume the salt is natural, so that must mean they are too cheap to put in real vinegar. Now it didn’t say Malt vinegar flavored, or balsalmic vinegar flavored. Just Vinegar flavored. What is wrong when they can’t even be bothered to put actual boring white vinegar in my chips.
That is bizarre, what’s cheaper than salt and vinegar as seasonings?
It’s probably a case of reading too much into something written on a bag of crisps.
OP: Yes, the world is coming too.
Yes, the world is coming too. I was told I could bring a friend, right? …no? …well crap, now I have about seven billion calls to make.
Joking aside though, I agree, why would they artificially flavor the vinegar flavor in chips? It’s one of the cheapest things around, isn’t it? Artificially flavoring vinegar would be even more expensive.
Or maybe they just put it on all their chip bags?
Check the ingredients list. See if vinegar is there.
Maybe they thought actual vinegar flavor was “too strong” for American palates, so they used an artificial one that was milder. And sweeter. Much, much sweeter. What else would you expect from the people who put sugar and shortening in peanut butter?
You made a minor error in your title: you forgot a comma. And yes, the world is coming too.
(I don’t care if the joke’s been made twice already. I’m still doing it.)
The moon will have to clean up the mess.
I think vinegar is largely acetic acid. i suspect that acetic acid is manufactured in processes that are way cheaper than making vinegar by conventional means.
They did use real salt and vinegar.
It’s those things that tasted like potato chips you should be worried about.
The artificial flavor might be citric acid, which is known for its pucker ability. That’s what’s all over those Sour Patch Kid candies, too.
Yeah, that was my sister’s and my theory – that they used real salt and vinegar to make the chips. So many, many years ago, before salt and vinegar chips were widely available in the US (yes, dinosaurs were still walking the earth), my sister and I tried to make our own.
Turns out it’s a lot harder than simply pouring vinegar on regular potato chips and waiting for them to dry.
Nah, the wet spot ends up at a Lagrange point.
You know what’s worse? Enjoying a pack of cookies and finding out they have artificial aroma. Why in the world do I need cookies to smell any more delightful than a cookie smells like?
If the world is coming, can Jupiter’s moons come, too? It’s a party if actual Jupiter joins 
I just want to say that salt and vinegar chips is one of those things that make me consider that there might be a god.

If they can make something that tastes like vinegar from pressed rat droppings, and it is a fraction of a penny cheaper by the metric ton than other ways, they will do it and claim it is all “natural”.
Yes.
The rhythm, the rebel.
So where is this extraterrestrial gathering that our entire planet is attending (too)? And do we have to bring a gift?
