Well, it's late Sunday night here in China, which means the Super Bowl is over for me. I promise not to tell you who won.
No, you're right, it doesn't work that way. But I didn't relish the idea of doing the promised potato chip taste-test early on a Monday morning, so I advanced the schedule a little. I realize the original Mr Chips post was a little long-winded, so let me make the results more succinct: Bleah.
I'm pretty sure I won't be buying any of these flavors again. For those of you who are curious, here's the rundown, from "best" to worst.
Sauteed Prawn
This ranks as the best only because of its competition. When I bought these, I had been hoping for something like the shrimp crackers I like to get at Asian grocery stores (or fry up from the dried state). Those taste a little shrimpy, but are mostly light and fluffy -- styrofoam in an edible form, if you will. That may not sound all that appetizing to you, but I like them. Which should give you some idea of the height of the bar when I tell you that these prawn chips fell way below it. The flavor itself was pretty innocuous, some generic blend of spices (salt, garlic, bland cayenne?), but no discernible seafood taste. The bigger problem was the texture -- these were a ruffled chip, and as such, were thicker and heavier than the others; too thick and heavy, I thought. They also seemed to hold more oil, ick. Zero points for flavor, -2 for texture. And this one came out on top.
French Chicken
These seem to be what we in the US call BBQ. I'm not sure what about the flavor is supposed to be french, nor what's supposed to be chicken. I mean, they're pretty much exactly what you think of when you think "bbq chips" (not actual barbecue flavor, mind you, just the sweet-tangy orangey chip flavor) -- do those actually make you think "meat"? If anything, these might be a little stronger (and sweeter). And yes, these ones are that unnatural shade of orange too. Again, back to the "swavory" -- the fact that I'm familiar with the flavor didn't make the sweetness taste any better. It was a close call between these and the prawn, but the fact that I couldn't eat more than 3 of these at one go threw it over to the shrimp.
Lime
Oh, dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear. I love lime. I like limeade, lime rickeys, lime sherbet, key lime pie, tequila-lime chicken, and, as previously mentioned, tortilla chips with lime. But definitely not lime-flavored potato chips. (Ed. note: OK, I also once had a lime-flavored chocolate bar that wasn't so good.) These chips were not so much lime-flavored as ... margarita-flavored. Without the alcohol. Meaning that the dominant taste was actually sugar. Sugary potato chips are definitely not my thing. In fact, if you know anyone who wants to try some, I have half a bag left... (yes, I choked down more than two chips. These are the sacrifices I make for you, my loyal readers. I hope all ten of you appreciate it).
So there you go, I have now been cured of the desire to sample any more potato chips while I'm here (or perhaps ever). I have, however, come across an amazing array of one brand's cracker flavors on the local supermarket shelves -- the following list is from one market, so I'm sure there are others out there:

Bean (appears to be soybean?)
Black Pepper
Cherry Tomato
Cumin
Curry
Hot Welsh Onion (the bag features red chili peppers on a bed of spring onion... I am intrigued)
Ma La Tang (this is a hotpot soup where you throw in whatever ingredients you want -- but the name means "numb, spicy, hot (temp)," so I'm betting it's a spicy flavor)
Pizza
Sesame
Shrimp Salad
Tomato
The tasting adventures may yet continue... but I have to wait for my stomach to forgive me first!
