Anyone else noticing they are starting to skimp on the flavoring in the chips.. I buy the kettle cooked ones and I swear the price when up and the flavor went down... It's disappointing IMO.. Kettle brand chips were the best...

Keep the water handy. Too bad I'm trying to get in better shape. I miss my late night AR15.com/salt and vinegar chips!

Last bag I had I didn't notice any drop in flavor, but you do built up an immunity to the taste if you eat them a lot.

Never had salt and vinegar so I can't help you, but have had salt and pepper chip on several occasions.  Freaking delicious.

More like the high salt/vinegar content has burned out your taste buds and your losing your ability to taste.


Its one of the reasons why older people can tolerate more hotter and spicier foods that younger adults/children cannot.

I eat the Frito-Lay variety.  They still seem good, the age and less taste thing maybe factoring in now for me.

I've always eaten Poor Brother's on the rare occasion that I eat chips (and only then Salt & Vinegar). It does seem like in recent years the "kick" has been weaker.

I call BS.  Only because if older people lost the ability to taste like you said, they should want more spice to make it possible for them to taste like they used to.   Why would they want less? So they could taste nothing?

Snyder of Berlin (PA) are the best I've ever had. Sea Salt and Malt Vinegar. Very potent. Anything else seems week now. Unfortunately, I can't find them here in VA.

Potato Chips were invented in the US and therefor the US gets exclusive naming rights and we named them CHIPS.

Yeah, keep those boutique brands.

In this case, the big name "Lay's" definitely beats the others.

"Herr's" will do in a pinch.

If you can't taste the chip flavoring anymore, try these and have a lot of water handy:

Route 11 Mama Zuma's Revenge Habanero

The Habanero version is too much for me to enjoy, but the rest of them are flavored quite well.

Kettle seems to have dubious QC.Their Thai flavored chips are fantastic but one bag will be hot enough to cause nose drippage and the next bag,like the fraudulent mofos up in the cabinet,barely have enough seasoning on them to detect the ginger.
