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.
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
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
Am I clocking correctly that you're upset a flavor exists? Why???

Was not expecting "chip" rather than "crisp" when I saw the spelling of flavour!
