The flavour is fine, I think the weird part is that it isn't just a normal new flavour, but is labeled a "passport flavour" series. That just seems like an unnecessary separation. Like, you have to go to another country to find that flavour, even though you very much can find it at home.
Seems like bad timing to be trying to put a separation between "local" and "foreign" flavours.
It leaves a bad flavour in the mouth, even if the chip flavour is good.
Was not expecting "chip" rather than "crisp" when I saw the spelling of flavour!
Yeah, Canadian.
And I guess it doesn't feel unnecessary to other people. Getting downvoted. Just seems super weird to me that it isn't just the same as all the previous times they made new flavours, even if it was something popular that is traditionally from another country. They've never done that before. Even when they introduced a bunch of new flavours initially from abroad in a set, they didn't put that extra distance in them.
Just to me kind of seems like the timing is an important part of why they did that this time.
I thought that might be it!
