Taste testing battery-flavored tortilla chips
« on: August 07, 2025, 11:21:00 am »
I get a lot of odd pitches in my inbox, but “9V battery-flavored corn chips” still stopped me in my tracks. My mind was ringing with questions (What? Who? Why!?!), but most importantly: What are they going to taste like?

This limited edition flavor comes from Rewind, a new brand launching in Europe, starting with the Netherlands, promising to blend “nostalgia with exciting flavors.” Most of these sound pretty normal — cheese and onion, sriracha, paprika — but their nod to the “weird universal memory” of licking a battery was guaranteed to get my attention.


The 9V battery chips are limited edition, but if you’re curious then Rewind has a form where you can request a sample pack, which ships worldwide.

I heard about these, and was moderately repulsed.

The only reason I know what 9V tastes like is because sticking it to your tongue was how you tested to see if the battery was good.

Doesn't mean I wanted my chips to taste like that.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

LOL.  I still do that to this day.  The tongue never lies.

Novelty items are often vulgar. That's the fun of it. We had no end of fun with vomit flavored gum back in the day. And while we had 'fart rock' back in the day (hilariously good fun), fart spray is all the rage. I am surprisedno one has thought to fart bomb a bar or rave.

Why not, someone did this.

Some of the unpleasant flavors reportedly included in Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans are:
Booger
Earwax
Sausage
Vomit
Rotten Egg
Dirt
Earthworm
Grass
Black Pepper
