7-Eleven Introduces The Hot Dog Flavored Potato Chip

There are a fair amount of 7-Eleven stores around New York City (let's say... 26? Who's counting? No one.), which means there's a fair amount of stores that will sell you Hot Dog Flavored Potato Chips. That's correct, fellow American, the franchise has just introduced their latest product, which got its flavor inspiration from 7-Eleven's own Big Bite hot dog. There are also ketchup, mustard and relish spiced chips, according to Laughing Squid—so in theory, you could mix all of these up for what one Gothamist staffer called "a symphony in my mouth."

While we can't seem to track down the ingredients (specifically if they include mechanically separated processed meats), there seems to be a whopping 400 calories in just 22 chips!

At press time, the chip has 13 too many friends on Facebook. And out of eight people polled in the office, only two brave souls said they would try them, one declaring, "Hell yeah. They go well with the shrimp-flavor chips in Asian groceries." But do they really, Jamie?

I for one am waiting for Pringles to distribute their curry flavored potato-like products here in the US.

According to the Daily Rash, 7-11 is offering a free prostate exam with a Slurpee and chilli dog purchase. http://www.thedailyrash.com/?p...

See my comment above.

I made that mistake. It is mustard flavored, not hotdog. I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth fast enough.

Is the flavor that of a newly cooked hot dog or that of one that has been rolling around on a heater for a year or two?

I wouldn't say "none." All potato chips still have a high glycemic index, leading to blood sugar spikes, and all fried chips have high acrylamide levels, which have been linked to increased risk of heart disease and possibly cancer.

Personally, I want bacon-flavored chips. And I want them naturally flavored, meaning fried in actual bacon fat. I miss the old Groff's chips fried in lard. Those tasted better than anything from Lay's or Wise.
