Chips Off the Old Block

Hooray for Crisps! Catalogers of product porn Cool Hunting have stepped away from their appreciations of Italian toothpaste to catalog the ups and downs of English crispery, or potato chips, as they are called in `merica.

Obviously, potato chip taste technology has changed drastically in the last twenty years. Finding, say, ketchup flavored potato chips in Canada used to be a big deal. Now, the flavors are all over the map in the UK: Smoked Salmon with Horseradish and Capers, Smoky Streaked Bacon, Bloody Mary, even Pesto and Wholegrain mustard. Makes Sour Cream and Onion--still one of our personal favorites--seem a bit dull.

Cool Hunting picks Tyrell's crisps as the best, citing their wide range of flavors and artisinal production methods. We hope to figure out how to get a case of them to our apartment by Memorial Day.
