Lemon flavored potato chips

Yep, it’s “weird potato chip flavor” time again! Hot on the heels of steak sandwich flavor, tangerine flavor, and banana and peach “breakfast chips”, we bring you… super sour lemon.

The limited-edition “super sour” lemon flavor potato chips are a product of snack maker Calbee and are on sale at convenience stores across Japan. You’ll have to quickly snaffle up as many bags as possible because they’re only going to be available until the end of July.

At 140 yen per bag, they’re pretty affordable even if you factor in the risks of not being able to handle their purported sourness.

The chips contain real lemon juice, so we’re anticipating a high tongue-shrivel factor. Hopefully the saltiness will balance things out somehow, like with a tequila shot. (Is that how it works?) In fact, we’re already formulating some half-baked plans for our next sodden cocktail party. Instead of limes and salt, we’ll take our tequila shots with a fistful of salty, citrus-y potato-ey goodness.
