I think we can all admit that chip (aka crisp) flavors have jumped the shark and are no longer representative of any trend other than random mashings from a crayon box of flavors trickling out of the industrial flavor chemical factory. E.g. https://www.publix.com/pd/publix-potato-chips-kettle-cooked-baby-back-ribs/RIO-PCI-601973 https://www.publix.com/pd/publix-potato-chips-kettle-cooked-...

  Are you meant to feed the potato chips to a serving of baby back ribs?

Wow, a site about potato chips that is region-blocked so that I don't become a web serving cost without being able to buy their product, I guess. Wow.

  Almost certainly done to avoid the cost of regulatory compliance.

Which IMHO is a great thing (not getting anything from the link, but filing the blanks from your comment) That means surprising flavours get a chance to be tested on the open, instead of the heavier gatekeeping happening until now. We got pea based crisps, that seemed ridiculous at first, but it was incredible.

  We also got blueberry-gum flavoured crisps. Saving you the trouble: They are less incredible. I still agree it's worth it!

Brit here. I have to object to “chip (aka crisp)”. It’s a crisp. You may aka it as a chip, which is weird I suppose but you do you. Two products. Both made from potato. One is texturally crisp. Let’s call that a ‘crisp’. The other one isn’t. Let’s call that a ‘chip’. It’s worse here in Australia. They have to call chips ‘hot chips’ to differentiate them from crisps! Insanity, people. There’s no logic here. We’re all rational people. Crisps are crisp. Chips are the other ones. /s /replies locked by the admin

  One might argue whether chips are actually small chunks of roughly cut (i.e. chipped from) potato, but crisps most definitely are not. Crisps are precisely sliced, quite thinly (and, as you point out, are crisp). Chips approximate chips.
