Quirky Crisps

For all crisp connoisseurs, two of the quirkiest crisps have appeared on the market recently. Forget Doritos, these crisps will really spice up your life, in more ways than one.

First up is the Carolina Reaper; officially the hottest tortilla chip in the world. So hot is this crisp, it is only sold in packs of one, and each tortilla chip comes in individual packaging. The chip comes in a red coffin-style pack and, for those of you who know your spice, clocks in at 2.2 million SHUs. A really punchy snack.

Next up, and in a different class entirely, is the incredibly sophisticated St. Erik's Brewery crisp. The craft brewery were sick and tired of the intricate, subtle tastes of their beer being ruined by a packet of pork scratchings and so have produced what can only be described as a masterpiece of a crisp. Designed to be eaten with their hoppy beverage, one of these packets of crisps comes in at a pricey €56 (for just 5 crisps), but this has not been enough to put off customers; having gone on sale last week, they have already sold out.

Having always been partial to a packet of Ruffles or Monster Munch, maybe this could be the logical next step on the ladder in my quest for complete crisp comprehension.
