Am I clocking correctly that you’re upset a flavor exists? Why???
The flavour is fine, I think the weird part is that it isn’t just a normal new flavour, but is labeled a “passport flavour” series. That just seems like an unnecessary separation. Like, you have to go to another country to find that flavour, even though you very much can find it at home.
Seems like bad timing to be trying to put a separation between “local” and “foreign” flavours.
It leaves a bad flavour in the mouth, even if the chip flavour is good.
chip flavour
Was not expecting “chip” rather than “crisp” when I saw the spelling of flavour!
Yeah, Canadian.
And I guess it doesn’t feel unnecessary to other people. Getting downvoted. Just seems super weird to me that it isn’t just the same as all the previous times they made new flavours, even if it was something popular that is traditionally from another country. They’ve never done that before. Even when they introduced a bunch of new flavours initially from abroad in a set, they didn’t put that extra distance in them.
Just to me kind of seems like the timing is an important part of why they did that this time.
I thought that might be it!
“Tastes like the airport” 10/10
Getting a nice forward of Hudson News, a buttery Sbarro note, and just a hint of burning jet fuel.
No joke, I have fond memories of landing in a tiny airport in Malta and stepping off directly onto the runway, and smelling that beautiful mixture of humid summer flowers and kerosene. That smell has such a strong memory for me
No processed food “needs” to exist. But let people enjoy things.
They need to justify doubling the price in the last 5 years.
For when you really want to lick the pages of your passport, but also need the nutrition of already chewed potatoes.
Stir-fried what, though?
I’m not sure Pringles need to exist at all, but who cares? Just don’t buy them if you don’t want them.
My favorite chip/crisp flavor remains salt. Just salt. All the flavored ones taste like chemicals.
I’d buy it. I’m a sucker for novelty flavors
Sure, they lowered the quality, but look at all the flavors!
American chip flavors suck compared to some of the cool imports.
BBQ? Sour cream and onion? Fuck off. Oh, but if you want some variety, there’s nuclear-melt-your-tastebuds chili lime!
It’s gotten worse since “All dressed” became a rarity in my local store. All the delightful flavors come from visiting import grocery stores now. Cumin lamb, grilled squid, and thai larb are my favorites. And fuck, if anyone can figure out how to sell “todo rico” in my town I’d die of sodium intake.
I’m in favor of more variety. I just wish they became mainstream instead of remaining one-off production runs.
Are those really the only American chip flavors you can find? Every grocery store I’ve been a regular at has always had Zapps and Miss Vickie’s, both of which have a ton of great flavors.
It’s rare I buy anything but plain tortilla chips nowadays but if I do, it’s Zapps Voodoo Heat. Yum
Yes limited editions are definitely the worst of capitalism, we don’t need new flavours ever!
I just liked my UK passport and it tasted like Xenophobia and Zionism.
