This is the Twisties A Twist of Fate Sweet n’ Sour, a limited edition flavour released in mid-2024.
The chips featured a vibrant yellow-orange hue and an extruded shape of varying lengths. Their aroma evoked sweet vinegar with a subtle hint of corn.
On tasting, the chips delivered a satisfying, firm crunch. The flavour opened with a burst of sweetness, transitioned into a lively vinegary tang, and returned to a prominent sweetness in the finish. This sweet-sour-sweet progression provided a gentle introduction to the sour notes, but the overall flavour was overly skewed toward sweetness, with the onion, garlic and spices being insufficient in providing the savoury depth needed for balance. The sourness, while mild, left a slight puckering sensation on the tongue after extended snacking.
Overall, this flavour was underwhelming, missing the intensity of a classic salt-and-vinegar profile and overly reliant on its sweet notes. It would not be a flavour to recommend or revisit.
This Twisties A Twist of Fate Sweet n’ Sour contained 80 g. It was produced in Australia and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2024.
