A Kettle too far?

[karohemd]

Kettle Chips are proposing to bring out chocolate flavoured (with real organic choc powder and spices) crisps. More info on the relevant page (no direct link, it's a flash thing). Now, I do like chocolate with spices but I'm not sure about the potato element...
The other flavours sound intriguing, though.

is there meant to be some sort of link in this entry as I can't find it

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Yes, sorry. Fixed. Our net connection is a bit flaky atm so I couldn't check after I had written it.

cracking thanks

Chocolate crisps are just WRONG.

[mazzarc.livejournal.com]

Is chocolate chilli, chocolate cheese and chocolate beer wrong? Lots of people like those!

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Cheese and beer, yes. Especially beer.

[belak-krin.livejournal.com]

Actually beer made with chocolate is quite good - see Hobgoblin for details :P

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

Yes, because I'm allergic to caffiene and can't have chocolate. It took me AGES to work out why I always had a reaction after eating my friend Claire's chili, and it turned out she put cocoa powder in it...

those chocolate covered pretzels that you used to be able to get were quite nice as are chocolate oliver biscuits so I think I would be willing to give them a try

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

Ah, but given that I can't eat chocolate...

[professoryaffle.livejournal.com]

which of course means while you can't eat them they may or may not be a good product in isolation of that

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

But I can eat crisps! And making crisps that I can't eat is wrong! [/unreasonable wailing]

[professoryaffle.livejournal.com]

so you are telling me there are no variety of crisps you don't like?

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

No, I'm just being unreasonable and selfish :P

[professoryaffle.livejournal.com]

yep I guess in life (sorry for the terrible cliche) there are some flavours of crisps you don't like and some flavours which just don't like you!

[mazzarc.livejournal.com]

Sounds gorgeous.

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

Yuck. Ugh. Not for me.

tudor did chocolate crisps in the early 90's... they were utterly, utterly disgusting.

The only aspect that would make me try them is that Kettle are known for using "real" ingredients, i.e. it will be actual chocolate powder, not artificial flavouring.
