Potato Chip Flavors: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

[claws]

5 most popular potato chip flavors here in Germany are:

1. Paprika



2. Hungarian (A variation of Paprika)



3. Salt



4. Peperoni (spicy)



5. Oriental (Don't like. They taste weird)



I don't think I've ever seen Paprika flavored chips in the U.S. My favorites are

Cheese & Onion



and Falafel Style



What are your faves? What is the weirdest chip flavor you ever tried?

[Rev. Powell]

I like salt & vinegar flavor. Also jalapeno and dill. I like either sour or hot flavors on chips.

Weirdest flavor? Nothing's coming to mind.

The Oriental flavored one we have seems to be based on Indian cuisine. It tastes mildly spicy, and has a lingering sweetish aftertaste, which I don't like.

We also have chips flavored 'African style'



It is a strange combination of spices, and also has this sweet aftertaste.

I have yet to find an exotic flavored chip I like.

I had hot dog flavored chips once. Not bad, for hot dog fans!
I prefer just plain ruffled chips, with some sour cream or bean dip.

I apologize in advance if you watch this.

^ It is a baked beans dish? I'm sure it tastes better cooked than the chips version.

I forgot about the baked beans part and it does taste good, even though I can't really eat hot stuff.

Doritos used to have a "late night series" where their scientists just went crazy.


The craziest one was the cheeseburger flavor, which really tasted quite a bit like a McDonald's cheeseburger.

The best one by far was the Jalapeno Poppers flavor, wish I could still get them.

I did try the cheeseburger one. Interesting but not something I would want to eat a lot of. Technically a corn chip.

I have no idea why this exists.

A simple, good flavor. Love Ketchup chips

weirdest was a recent one at a food show, lay's had an elote flavor. it tasted like creamed corn( which i despise) with a ton of red pepper and a vague cream cheese aftertaste. best at the show , oddly enough, was sweet corn, it actually tasted buttered and salted corn on the cob. i doubt either will hit the production line.
