In the U.K. “Cheese and Onion” is one of the big flavours rather than “Sour Cream and Onion”. The first time I encountered “Sour Cream and Onion” as a flavour was with Pringles who seem to stick to the US model even here in the U.K.

Actually as an American, cheddar and onion/cheddar and sour cream/just cheddar are basically ubiquitous options now here, too. I was kind of surprised he didn’t bring one of those up. Also, he’s Canadian. And if there’s one thing I know about Canada it’s that he NEEDS to do a video on their chip “cannon”. He could then talk about all dressed, pickle, and ketchup. Also, I live in the potato chip belt. I live in the city of chambersburg not far from a place owned by Utz, and the base location for the gibbles brand. I would actually call where I live the German potato band. There’s a big group of Amish and Mennonites around for whom chips are part of the culture. You could even locally have gotten them delivered in big “popcorn” tins. But, specifically why it isn’t limited to chips is because we also live right by the martins plant. They are not just known for chips but a whole smattering of potato bread options.

I mean, I think it's fairly trivial except for the salt and vinegar. plain potato chips are yellow. barbecue sauce is brownish red. sour cream and onion dip, while not normally green, often includes green herbs like chives, parsley, dill, or spring onion. salt and vinegar is the only mystery that remains. perhaps it's blue for the sea because of sea salt. perhaps it's just blue because that's the only remaining distinctive primary color from the others. it was probably a branding choice of one of the more popular companies just to make the flavor look distinctive from plain chips since they don't have the visible seasoning on them like BBQ or SC&O.

Cola, also known as Kola, is a type of nut from West Africa which contains caffeine, and is used in the region for the types of things caffeine is generally used for, and is what gives cola drinks their flavor beyond just the sugar and carbonic acid. The name Coca-Cola originates from the Coca leaf, used to make cocaine, and the Kola nut. The "root" in root beer actually refers to the sassafras root, which was originally used to make root beer, but artificial flavoring was used after sassafras root was found to contain carcinogens. Root beer and ginger ale were both originally created via fermentation, and were thought to be healthier than local waters for that fact, and also for the medicinal properties of their contents. This fermentation is why they are called ale and beer, and they did actually contain some alcohol, though not very much. Both sassafras and ginger were used for herbal remedies for various ailments, and some people still drink ginger ale when they're sick today

Westerners living in Japan often complain of the chips here, but I personally find many of them enjoyable. The best sour cream & onion I've had is a Japanese brand, and their local favourites like consommé and seaweed + salt are surprisingly delicious. Consommé has actually taken a place in my top 3 chip flavours along with all dressed (Canada) and sour cream & onion. Also partial to the numerous horseradish-flavoured chips in Japan (marketed as wasabi, but the real stuff is too expensive to use as a chip flavouring).

Funny thing is that in India, the chip flavor we generally call "American" flavor is the sour cream and onion flavor. Even in Indian grocery stores where you'll see the imported chips, you'll see packets labeled "American Onion" or "American Style Cream & Onion"

I live in Latvia and we love potatoes a lot, so, naturally, we love potato chips. Nowadays, you can find all the American chip flavors in stores, but even now they're not as popular as some other flavors. I'd say the most popular and widely liked chip flavors in Latvia are dill, sour cream & onion, cheese, and tomato. This is probably due to the fact that we mostly buy and eat chips from our own Latvian brand "Ādažu čipsi", I'm pretty sure they were the first ones to start selling tomato, dill, and cheese flavored chips over here. Nowadays they have many different and interesting flavors (like pickles, chimichurri, shashlik & roasted onion, horseradish, creamy mushroom sauce, and thyme, rosemary & pink pepper), but the 4 classic ones (dill, sour cream & onion, cheese, and tomato) are still the most popular and a staple at every party. Regarding the BBQ flavor - I think bacon is more popular here, without going to the store and checking I can only remember one brand that makes BBQ chips, but at least 3 that make bacon flavored ones. Also, I saw another comment about this, the color coding of chips seems interesting. Over here, sour cream & onion is in a purple packet, but I'm sure the color differs in other countries.

The big four here are salted ("original"), salt and vinegar, BBQ and Chicken (which is meant to be the flavour of the seasonings you put on roast chicken). We also have sour cream and onion, but it's not quite as popular as those four. Other popular flavours are cheese and chives, and honey soy chicken, which most manufacturers have a variation of. There has also been a push by some companies to make lime and cracked pepper a staple flavour for some reason. And, yes, we have had Vegemite flavour in the past. They weren't great though.

There was plain, ripples, sour cream and onion, cheddar and sour cream, salt and vinegar, BBQ, honey BBQ, salt and pepper, ketchup, dill pickle, mesquite BBQ, jalapeño, multiple different kinds of kettle-cooked versions of these, and multiple different kinds of baked versions. There's a whole wall just for potato chips.

In Spain we recently got all of these four flavors of Pringles, but some good ol' flavor is Country (not in the sense of american country, just traditional food). They're a mix of bell pepper, onion and tomato flavoring, and some paprika too if I'm not wrong. I think they're also popular in Italy and Portugal but I'm not sure. We also have olive oil chips, (obviously). And finally something really Spanish and not just Mediterranean is wheat bark snacks. They're not frites but are often thought of as such. I haven't been able to find them in other languages and only in Spain, and not in the Americas. They're sometimes marketed as faux pork rinds (which we also eat, a lot, but that's not exclusive to us). Lay's's are called Boca Bits if you wanna search them, tho they're not always as aerated as theirs. Edit: I've also seen import Tikka Masala rice pringles. They're uncannily delicious

Step 1: chuck a big glob of mayo. Step 2: spew a ketchup in it and keep spewing and stirring until it's your favorite shade of orange. Step 3: mix in dehydrated vegetables. Let it rest for 20+ minutes to let the vegetables rehydrate. You've just made Thousand Island dressing, which every "special sauce" is a variation of. Switch the ketchup out for another tomato product if you want. I like mine with oregano, rosemary, cayenne, and a conspicuous dose of minced onion and garlic powder.

I, a Dutchman, saw how he used the coloured packages at 0:53 and thought: "Did you know that in The Netherlands, the flavours of pretty much anything have a very specific colour packaging across different brands? For example, for the potato chips, plain is red, pepper is blue, bolognese is green, ..." JJ: Holds up a Dutch pepper-flavoured potato chip package that is red. From a very popular brand. Me: Okay, nevermind, I don't know where you got that from. Anyway, I am going to continue still: Potato chips - red: plain, blue: pepper, yellow: 'Patatje Joppie' (incredibly delicious), green: bolognese, dark red/brownish: BBQ Milk and yoghurt (sold in similar-looking cartons) - blue: milk, red: buttermilk, green: regular yoghurt, yellow: vanilla 'vla', much lighter yellow: 'blanke vla', any other flavour vla has a rather logical colouring: brown for chocolate and pink for strawberry are the most popular ones Chocolate - red: dark chocolate, blue: milk chocolate, white or very light yellow: white chocolate What amazes me about this is that the colours of the packaging, broadly, have little to do with the colour of the product. I read in the comments, here, that this American canon also has specifically coloured packaging, but I remember how hard it is to distinguish normal water from (absolutely disgusting) sparkling water in Italy (in many other European countries, I can not find a pattern either), where they appear to have no colour code whatsoever. Oh, yes, and speaking about that: in the Netherlands, not only do pretty much all brands have a blue theme on water bottles and a red theme on sparkling water bottles, sparkling water is also called 'Spa Rood' (Spa Red, Spa being a big brand of bottled water from Belgium) in regular conversation. 'Spa Blauw' (Spa Blue) is also used now and again, but, obviously, just 'water' is enough. I suppose one could use it to contrast bottled water from tap water.
