I have a bad case of Neophilia, I have to try out new snacks, candy and chips even if I'm pretty sure I won't like them. My friends sometimes buy nasty looking thing that are labeled "new" or "new flavor" and drop them by the house because they know that I can't resist. I also tend to finish stuff that I start even if I don't dig it, no idea why.

I had the Lays Mango Salsa chips the other day. It took me the whole bag to figure out whether they were great or disgusting.

Have you tried the coffee flavored potato chips yet? I'm too timid...

coffeesp00ns  ·  3742 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I haven't. I'm on the fence as to whether to bother. most of the sweet chips end up not being bad, just... Blasé? there was a cinnamonny one a while back which was much the same. Maybe I'll try it.

That's definitely the first time, and maybe the last time, that I'll ever hear potato chips referred to as blasé.

Got high on steak-flavored potato chips for one blessed college semester in Ireland, been chasing it ever since. I guess I could resort to Amazon or some such.

Worse than intentionally sweet potato chip flavors: chips that have no business being sweet but are anyway. Constantly let down by the whole buffalo-style/sriracha thing. Why sweet? Shouldn't be sweet. Should be spicy and that's it. Thank god for Tim's Cascade

The flammin hot cheetos are pretty good and surprisingly spicy, too bad they got banned in Canada :(

Begs the question: why?

According to my brother, they give you flaming hot poops.

So which was it?

coffeesp00ns  ·  3742 days ago  ·  link  ·  

i went with disgusting, but i think if you like real mango salsa it might be more palatable.

Jury's still out on cheeseburger potato chips, and i've had like 3 bags of them.

3 bags and the jury's still out, you are my kind of guy.

the poutine potato chips were an easy no, however. Idunno how they continue to fuck up fries and gravy chips.
