Salt & vinegar crisps

120 replies

Aibu to feel that Salt & vinegar crisps are disgusting? I don't eat them but my DS does. The smell makes me absolutely wrench.. Smell like some toxic rancid window cleaning products. No other flavours of crisps bother me but Salt & vinegar crisps just make me feel so ill, just the smell. I need to leave the room when anyone is eating them, then I need to open windows and wipe down all door handles and furniture etc afterwards. And don't even get me started on the grease stains made by my rather messy Ds. Anyone with me on this?

Hands down the best flavour. YABVU

If you think they smell, don't buy cheese and onion or sour cream and chive.

Moo31 · 21/02/2021 17:39

I am so with you! Absolutely disgusting. I turn the tap on for DP on the rare occasion he is allowed to have them so he can wash his hands thoroughly after. Yuck.

You are being extremely unreasonable and quite wierd and extreme sorry

ThreeTwoOneBlastOff · 21/02/2021 17:39

They are the best flavour, love them!

SeasonFinale · 21/02/2021 17:39

Salt and Vinegar are the best flavour crisps in the world. YABU

SeraphinaDombegh · 21/02/2021 17:40

You are entirely wrong. Cheese and onion smell rank - salt and vinegar is the best flavour!

AdelaideK · 21/02/2021 17:41

They're my favourite flavour. Cheese and onion ones stink though.

1Morewineplease · 21/02/2021 17:41

A bit of an extreme reaction if I'm honest.

I quite like s&v crisps.

StColumbofNavron · 21/02/2021 17:41

I feel this way about wotsits. The smell and the orange fingers. Envy not envy!

ParadiseLaundry · 21/02/2021 17:43

YANBU, cheese and onion crisps are the worst.

Sour cream and chive are delicious though, which I just can't explain 🤷🏻‍♀️

BlusteryLake · 21/02/2021 17:43

Salt and vinegar is the best flavour! Now chicken or prawn is a whole other story.....

AllThatFancyPaintsAsFair · 21/02/2021 17:43

Are you being forced to eat them?

How can anyone possibly be unreasonable not to like a particular food, surely there isn't anyone who would literally eat anything Confused

Incyra · 21/02/2021 17:43

Love S and V. HATE prawn cocktail! Bleugh....

MondeoFan · 21/02/2021 17:44

They are my favourite flavour

BooUrns · 21/02/2021 17:45

YABVU. All crisps are delicious, I eat anything - fancy kettle chips, Walkers, puffs, Pom Bears, tortilla chips.....if it’s crunchy and salty I’ll eat it

biddybird · 21/02/2021 17:45

I feel this way about cheese & onion.
Love S&V, though.

1FootInTheRave · 21/02/2021 17:46

You are WRONG.

They are delightful.

AlfonsoTheTerrible · 21/02/2021 17:47

YABVU. Cheese and onion flavour is the worst.

MermaidUnicorn · 21/02/2021 17:47

YANBU, personal tastes are personal tastes. You sound like my mum, she hates malt vinegar, I grew up with no ketchup, pickles etc. Now 30 years later I still get excited about eating beetroot/gerkins Grin

DoubleHelix79 · 21/02/2021 17:49

Food of the gods - I could live on salt and vinegar crisps. Perfect balance of crunch, slight greasiness and a sharp hit of acidity and saltiness.

anascrecca · 21/02/2021 17:49

They are the best flavour, the stronger the better ! Grin

drumst1ck · 21/02/2021 17:52

Best flavour. Pretty much lived on them during my first pregnancy! Prawn cocktail though is a different story....bleugh

SpiceRat · 21/02/2021 17:53

They’re lush. Particularly Quavers that have just come back.

Cheese and Onion smell like puke but they taste good tbh.

muddyford · 21/02/2021 17:53

YANBU salt and vinegar crisps are truly horrible. As are chips with vinegar. I prefer ready salted crisps but don't mind bacon, beef or cheese flavours, but vinegar ones taste rank.
