This is the Smith’s Double Crunch Spicy Pickle.
The chips presented with a wide ridge cut and a yellow base hue, coated in fine orange seasoning and larger green flecks. They varied in size, averaging 4–5 cm at the widest point and 1.5–2 mm in thickness. Aroma opened with sharp, savoury notes of briny pickles.
Initial contact delivered a dense, thick and audible crunch that was immensely satisfying, alongside an immediate hit of tangy pickle. Through the mid-palate, a savoury undertone emerged, developing a flavour reminiscent of McDonald’s Special Sauce. Towards the finish, gentle spicy heat appeared by the end of the first chip, building to a notable intensity with each subsequent chip. The sharp tang of the pickle remained distinct throughout, preventing the accumulating heat from overwhelming the flavour.
Overall, a ridged potato chip with a progression from sharp, tangy pickle to savoury depth and steadily building heat, supported by a dense, substantial crunch. The seasoning maintained its flavour definition even as the spice intensified, resulting in a well-layered and moreish profile.
