I despise yeast extract. It leaves a noticeable aftertaste in my mouth that won't go away for hours. I'd much prefer if brands just stuck with MSG but for some reason every single type of chips other than plain salt is adding yeast extract around here.
- joshspankit 4y agoI suspect that the aftertaste is one of the selling features for brands: if you take a bite, enjoy it, and then an aftertaste tries to settle in, you might be likely to go for another bite to cover it up and repeat that until the product is gone and you want more.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoSeems like that strategy would back-fire. No one would buy that brand again because of the bad aftertaste.
- joshspankit 4y agoAnd yet here we are. It turns out that out of quality, consistency, and price all they really need is consistency.
- unglaublich 4y agoYeah, I'm not too fond of it, either. I recently found chips with paprika flavor that only had potato, salt, paprika powder! They tasted wonderful. A friend of mine thought them 'boring' and liked the common ones with yeast extract more.
