The trouble with those lists, though, is you don't know how normal those are elsewhere. Do people in Japan really chow down on blueberry flavored chips after school, or is that a novelty item? I mean, I can go out and purchase some Thai Curry chips, or Cheddar Horseradish if I like, but I have to make a special trip - they're not something I can just snag at any old corner store.

This poll is the chip flavors I think of as "pretty normal" - I'd expect to see them in most or all corner stores, and certainly all supermarkets. (If one of them had to go, it'd be Cheddar and Sour Cream, but that's still found nearly all over the place.) Which ones do you think of as normal? And, the impossible to poll for question, which ones are normal (or do you like to eat) that I couldn't list?

Poll #19749 Potato Chips

Which, if any, of these chip flavors do you think of as standard/normal?

I would say the standard flavours here (Scotland in particular but also across the wider UK) are Ready Salted (plain), Cheese and Onion, Salt & Vinegar, Smokey Bacon and Prawn Cocktail - the ones you'd see in most vending machines and small shops) with variants by region (its pretty common to see pickled onion, barbecue beef or tomato ketchup) and then there's the skewing factor of Pringles which I imagine mostly do the same flavours everywhere. My adventures inter-railling around mainland Europe have taught me that Paprika is a default flavour for vending machines in most countries there.

Also, I appreciate the word Orped too, it has a nice feel in the mouth.

Oh, most definitely 'smokey bacon' and 'prawn cocktail' I think the combination would be...less than tasty!
