Odd or Weird Chip Swap
Swap Coordinator:lysrian (contact)
Swap categories: Food

Description:

Have you ever seen Pickle flavored chips? How about Steak and Onion? Well, they are out there.

The purpose of this swap is to exchange a bag of unique (odd) flavored chips. So, the next time you are in the market look around for a bag of chips to swap. Any flavor is fair game EXCEPT the standard flavors (plain, BBQ, sour cream & onion and salt & vinegar).

You will have 1 partner and this swap is open to non-US residents. There is a minimum of 5$ spent on this swap. So, feel free to get the tiny bags but make sure that you get enough to meet the minimum.

If anyone has food restrictions please post a comment about it or put it in your profile. I know of one person that has an MSG allergy, I am sure there are other folks with restrictions.

Oh… and when you ship the chips please pay attention to the packaging. This is a chip swap not a crushed crumb swap.

I added a minimum amount to spend to the swap. One of the members pointed out that it would be helpful when shopping.

Dill Pickle chips are strange?! Haha. Sooo yummy

xsugarkittyx 04/18/2008 #

Unfortunately I'm on a diet so this might not be such a good swap for me, haha! But I wanted to say, dill pickle chips are yummy :)

Ketchup are my favourite though (I'm Canadian).

nolagirl 04/18/2008 #

My brain keeps seeing "old" instead of add. That wouldn't be a good swap. :)

symphonie 04/18/2008 #

I am addicted to Red Rock Deli lime and cracked pepper chips. YUM! I would love to try some of those 'golden wonder' they have in the UK.

Agnetha 04/18/2008 #

I don't have any odd ones here :( At least not any odd I can think off :( Would have been nice to try something new out (I love peppar chips and hot thai chili chips :) but they aren't unusual)

Mina 04/18/2008 #

Hey Agnetha - sign up anyway! Peppar chips and hot thai chili chips are unusual to me and probably a lot of other people in the States! (-:

OhMy 04/18/2008 #

Hehehe, i read the title as OLD potato chip swap!!!! What the????

TartsandTattoos 04/18/2008 #

Oh I'm in for sure... I have the weirdest chips in this city!!

hippofairy 04/18/2008 #

oh! I'd love some KETCHUP FLAVORED potato chips. my husband is addicted to ketchup. he eats his ketchup with fries. haha! we bought a few bags when we visted Canada, but haven't had any in over year... so if my partner has access to some ketchup fries, i would totally give hearts for some! thanks!

lysrian 04/18/2008 #

you guys are a hoot!

Got an update for you....

If anyone has food restrictions please post a comment about it or put it in your profile. I know of one person that has an MSG allergy, I am sure there are other folks with restrictions.

lysrian 04/18/2008 #

Oh yes, Peppar chips and hot thai chili chips are very unusual for us mid-western US folks!

rebowyer2000 04/18/2008 #

hi. i'm the one that doesn't do MSG. if you look at labels, it's often in the ingredient list, especially if the item is ranch flavored. if my partner has trouble finding things without MSG, i would be happy with your favorite plain chip, too. and a bag or two with MSG isn't a huge thing, my kids will eat anything.

and i love anything hot or spicy.

Agnetha 04/19/2008 #

Sounds good...although still wonder if I shall sign up or not...maybe I get too weird chips myself LOL (due to pregnancy's early start there is a lot of things I don't wish to eat at the moment)...I'll sign up anyway...I can always contact my partner who will send to me...

hoppyloo 04/20/2008 #

I got some odd flavoured snacks yesterday, but realised that they are not all made of potato .... some of them are corn. Does that count? (flavours like scampi and lemon and pickled onion)

Agnetha 04/20/2008 #

To my partner: No flavors such as mushrooms or nuts (if there are any!) thanks!!

lysrian 04/21/2008 #

hoppyloo, I think that as long as they are chips they qualify~

hoppyloo 04/23/2008 #

Thanks lysrian - we really do have some extremely strange flavours here in the UK!

lysrian 04/23/2008 #

hmmm.... does anyone know how i can promote this swap? It's the first that I have hosted.

lysrian 04/24/2008 #

Go check out the flicker group, I posted a pic of some really odd chips taken from 'The Colbert Report'.

unholymomma 04/24/2008 #

hm i'd love to joint his but i don't know if vegan potato chips would be difficult

lysrian 04/25/2008 #

I am not sure about vegan chips, I have never looked!

bubblygreek 04/27/2008 #

Would pitta chips count - we have some really weird flavours? If so, I'd l;ove to join in!

lysrian 04/28/2008 #

The chips do not have to be potato, so yes pita, veggie, and shrimp count.

They just have to be weird~!

unholymomma 04/28/2008 #

i know the majority of lays (limon, bbq, orig) are vegan but those are no fun! lol

Flyingsquirrel 04/29/2008 #

Hello! I'm vegetarian (not vegan), so please no, ehrm, meat chips. Or fish. Thanks!

bubblygreek 04/30/2008 #

can i ask for no fish flavours please!

catslikedinner 04/30/2008 #

Please no mustard flavored anything, I don't like it or fish, that's just gross ;)

hoppyloo 05/ 1/2008 #

but isnt that the point? To find the oddest flavours?

lysrian 05/ 1/2008 #

Yes, that is the point to swap the weirdest flavors that you can find.

If there is a dietary restriction, I would like everyone to respect that. If you get matched with a person that has a dietary restriction and feel that you cannot complete the swap, contact me and I will match you with someone else.

earthnk 05/ 5/2008 #

I don't know if I'm just real tired after a long day at work but this sentence

Oh… and when you ship the chips please pay attention to the packaging. This is a chip swap not a crushed crumb swap.

Made me bout pee myself. I had to join.

I have only had a migraine once in my life. MSG was found to be the culprit. I'm all in for the strange flavors chip swap and NOT the crushed crumb swap!Baaawwaahhhhaaaaa!!!

mouseybrat 05/ 6/2008 #

If anyone lives where there are Christmas Tree Shops, I was there yesterday and they had Crab flavored and onion&garlic flavored.

singe 05/ 6/2008 #

No peanuts! Peanut oil is (strangely) fine, but no peanut flavors (if such things exist)... Other than that, bring it on :)

Baccarita 05/ 6/2008 #

I join on this... this will be lots of fun... I will ship the bags in a box... well protected ... this will asure not to arrive crumbled :D:D:D

badkitty1782 05/ 9/2008 #

No allergies, etc. here. I don't want anything that'll burn my tongue off, but spicey can still be OK. Just nothing that says it's extra-super-call-911-HOT.

kgroovy 05/17/2008 #

im allergic to poppy seeds and olives. other than that, im ok.

earthnk 05/21/2008 #

My swapbox was shipped to SPAIN today and I have major sticker shock. $10.30US to send this swap. Not a happy camper:(

squirrel 05/22/2008 #

Chappykat, I had the same shock. I had to pay 18.55 to Greece. Lesson has been learned about international swaps!
