aww dammit saw it was about to buy it yesterday then forgot when i got to the checkout
I've never seen these, they look good as! I guess only certain woolies?
they are good, only avaliable at asian shops but now 50% at woolies yesss
Wasn’t spectacular…
cause Australian chips use way too much flavouring
Honey butter is really nice
Looking online my local still want $3.00
Haven't seen the spicy one at my local Woolies.
Been buying the Pizza and Butter one for $2 for the past few weeks.
Quite nice.
saw these at my local woolies, then this week they are up the back on the reduced rack
never tried them but pizza flavour does sound good
maybe i'll buy one now if i can find one
Highly recommended, my wife bought one box last week…
the pizza ones go great with a cold corona
To replace the slice of lemon or lime?
(ctrl + F "corona")
😂
About 3c per gram. Or $2.73 per 100 grams.
Full of MSG or they call it with different name "Flavour Enhancer (621)"
There is not really anything wrong with MSG, just that you don't need to make a good taste product instead of abusing the MSG for taste.
wait till you hear about 'salt', 'sugar' and 'fat'!
what do you mean?
they are all flavour enhancers. they are also naturally occurring in many foods, just like msg. didn't neg you btw im just having a go
The 1980's called and wants its MSG fearmongering back… you realise that the hate for MSG is at best ignorance, at worst casual racism.
msg racism? hbahahahahahaha
Go read up on it.
Nothing wrong with MSG and it is safe to consume.
Not just that, the body produces 50g of it a day and metabolises it.
these are pretty good for a novelty but aussies have a strong chip selection here! I got the pizza ones and they taste really sweet. small packs too.
Strange they are from hong kong and not japan
Quite expensive for the size compared to Aussie chip on special here.
This is Japanese brand but they made in HK and quite popular there.
I found that most of the chips in Asia has MSG, Asian get used to the (fake) heavy enhanced MSG taste. Not just chips, many sauces only rely on MSG for taste like chilli sauce. Indonesian, Malaysian, Vietnamese chips and sauces mostly has MSG.
Many of Aussie chip flavours don't use MSG.
yeah that's what i mean when i say we got a strong chip game. we dont need MSG and our chips are awesome.
the worst chip story is pringles - they started out good and now got shrunk and made on the cheap…
totally agree with you. I tried this once and don't bother because we have much better product at a much cheaper price.
Maybe only for those Asians still get used to their heavy taste from childhood… I found many of Vietnamese same, they got used to the lousy sauce from VN ridden with MSG.
@samehada: Yeah, because our chips don't contain any MSG at all… right? /saracasm
Check the packets for Flavour Enhancer E621. It's in a lot of our chips. Doritos, Chicken flavour, Barbecue flavour.
And then if it's not labelled as an additive it is often added through different names for example soy or yeast extract.
Imagine living in 2020 and still being gullible enough to believe an invented old wives tale from the 1970's about MSG being bad for you.
Good grief.
You should have re-read my post. There is nothing wrong with MSG, the only thing is instead of making a true good taste product, all you need now is just add MSG.
For example chilli sauce, instead of using a good quality chilli with other ingredient now all you need is use less chilli, add MSG to "enhance" the taste.
- Potato chips, instead of adjusting the ingredient, now you just need to add MSG.
- Noodle soup, instead of using bone to make stock, just need to add MSG.I have never said MSG is bad, of course if consume responsibly which is same as salt.
Are you seriously this ignorant of how widespread MSG is used? Bruh…
You sound like an MSG alarmist.
Yes, I think Australia punches above its weight in the potato chip division - add to that our excellent baked snacks (Shapes) and I think we're up there with the best. The Brits bang on about how great their crisps are and they have some okayish options, but overall I was distinctly underwhelmed.
Damn hot and spicy is the one not half price :( That's the best one.
These are surprisingly good. Actually, even borderline shockingly good.
I haven't tasted chips these yummy in years.
Which Woolies have the Hot n Spicy spotted at $2?
I assume not all stores would stock this?
$1.50 for 50g is not a good deal at all.
Good point. Will give it a miss
Good for the people that want a small chip/crisp hit ( like me)
its like comparing cheap wines with expensive wines for $/mL and saying dont ever try past the cleanskins
this is a different kind of chip with different flavours. different horses for different courses
May contain Phenylalanine (in capital and bold). Yuuuum!
? unless you have PKU, whats the impact?
Can you trust Made In China's Phenylalanine?
It looks like Chinese version not Japanese
So may contain pangolin?
there is one that is made in china
the others are made in hong kong
Didn't know they stock these…. Are they good?
hell yeahz
Does anybody have any idea why they stopped selling the original BBQ flavour in Australia? I haven't seen them anywhere (yes, I've checked Asian supermarkets too).
I couldn't find these at my local Woolies :(
I’ve tried the Pizza one in Japan. Definitely recommend.
