The chip itself is a sorry halfway house, not as oily or indulgent as a Chipstick, but not as light and crunchy as a Walker’s French Fry.
At best, a poor man’s Pickled Onion Monster Munch (lacking any of their characteristic zing or body) at worst, an utterly unremarkable bite that, as if to caution the Ventrilocrisp for its vast illusions, quickly embedded itself into the molars to form a lasting reminder of these crisps’ deplorable, lackadaisical attitude to even the most basic tenets of good flavour. Bland, with not even a vestige of the promised weiner taste. I’ll be blunt: these crisps were disappointing. But O! Sweet yearning makes way for black despair. Despite being vegetarian, the Ventrilocrisp was tickled by the image of the chubby, mustard-splattered pink frankfurter on this packet, and harboured secret hopes for a potent weiner flavour.

The bar for the hot dog crisp had been set high by some very pleasing varieties from the same brand: the Chipsy Rebrasti Slani (highly salty) the Clipsy Mix packets (unusual mixes, interesting shapes) and of course the new feta cheese flavoured ridge cut Chipsy Domaćinski (tangy, characterful and full of pep).
It’s important to note that the Clipsy brand, the leaner sister of Chipsy (both owned by Pepsi) is ubiquitous in the Balkans. Ha ha, the Ventrilocrisp gives a wry smile and conspiratorial nod to this droll conflation of fast foods. This is exactly what it looks like: a hot dog flavoured crisp in the shape of a slender little french fry.
