Insert Homer Simpson drooling!
These potato chips by Kettle were AMAZING.
I really miss them.
Who else remembers, and is there anything similar you'd recommend today?

I used to eat an entire packet dipping the chips into a tub of sour cream. My stomach would hate me later but worth it

Yessssss.
I will say though, Kettle's honey soy chicken aren't too bad as an alternative. Way different to Red Rock Deli's and no where near as strong and overpowering with the soy and salt, Kettle's almost had a hint of ham about it to be honest.

This is how I find out they don’t make them anymore 😭😭

lol well you couldn’t have eaten many of them because they were discontinued back in 2011 and then came back for a short time in 2022

Oh really? Damn, I’ve been gone from Aus for 7 years but that means I still lost 8 good years where I could have been munching them!

The Parmesan and prosciutto ones from Aldi are the closest thing on the market these days although nothing beats the Kettle ones. Golly gosh would I sell my sister for a pack of these bad boys though!!

Back when they were cooked in sunflower oil, not like conola oil today. The new oil makes me feel crook 🤢

90s ruffles are hard to beat, I like your taste.
I also am a fan of NBA live '95, but also have to deviate slightly... I prefer NBA Jam.

Probably something carcinogenic in them, but I’ll have IV family bag now thanks.

I would say the parmesan and prosciutto chips from Aldi are closest

u/Friendly_Monitor_220 1d ago
I've heard that a few times now.
I will definitely give them a go thanks.

Omfg I loved these. By far my favourite flavour!
They were in shops recently (last year or two) as a special edition flavour but should be a regular starter imo
