Crispy goodness

So you know those annoying ads for the four new chip flavours being released by Smiths? Well someone in my orifice had the brilliant idea of buying all four and testing them out.

So far, the leader is Lucas’ Late Night Kebab flavour and I can see why. There are traces of cumin and chilli that give it a depth, rather than just a generic meaty taste. That plus the image it conjures of a 4am feast in a kebab shop, tzatziki sliding down your chin, make it quite the treat!

I would definitely say the second runner up is Vinnie’s BBQ Coat Of Arms, although it does have a bit of that generic meatiness that Lucas’ flavour avoided. It’s still very good, with a bit of smokiness.

Steve’s Buttered Popcorn has me all torn up. The flavour is pleasant and tasty, very much like, well, buttered popcorn. But if I wanted to eat that particular treat, why wouldn’t I buy, well, buttered popcorn? It sort of freaks me out a bit, I supposed because you can buy bagged popcorn, ready for snacking!

However, it wasn’t an EPIC FAIL like Aline’s Caesar Salad. Poor lass – she didn’t get final approval or anything on the flavour combos, but I certainly want my image associated with a pack of crisps that taste like stale lettuce and socks mixed together with an undertone of fish. No thanks.

Anyway, the experiment was something a bit different to help our office’s tired and crabby workers make it through to the end of the day with a little less boredom…and I might just pick up a pack of the Late Night Kebab flavour on the way home…

And if you’re really moved at your emotional core by any of the flavours, vote! There’s only 24 hours left.
