Hot Rods are from like 80's, our taste buds for hot stuff hadn't evolved yet back then.

[@Juhanikki.]

Correct

[@Audiojack_]

And yet they made them more bland at some point... But I still like them.

[@TheRealFOSFOR]

Hot Rod and Raffel has always been on my no likie list while a lot of people I know likes them a lot. Weird bunch.

Hot Rod is old chip and its name coming from car not from 🌶. It is Hot Rod wheel.

[@Rinssi_from_Finland]

Also I think it says on the package that they are bbq flavoured? Edit: Had to fill my craving for these and went to buy a bag of these. Doesn't say bbq on the bag, just "flavored potato wheels" which doesn't really tell much :D

[@b_rabbit]

Pickle and mayo over THE CLASSIC HOT ROD? WHAAT??

[@ArualCrisp]

B Rabbit I absolutely love those pickle and mayo chips! So flavourful.. hotrods are so basic & boring 😄

[@Janskuvaan]

Hot Rods are a childhood favourite! Just like you said, a birthday party snack. And we used to wear them as rings. The moomin snacks are good for teething babies!

[@SimoExMachina2]

Those moomin snacks and similar are called "raksut" in the common speech and they really are snacks for small teething babies. They are designed to have minimum amount of flavor and spice, so as the digestive track of the little ones would not be disturbed. Dave, just save them for your baby; once he grows up a bit, he will love it.

[@yufeimeng6414]

[@maple494]

[@Wezqu]

Hot Rod is not ment to be a hot snack and is a reference to the cars called Hot Rod. The flavor is sweet pepper and smoke and ment to be mild. The shape of the snack represent the wheel of a Hot Rod. They are a great snack in one aspect as you can eat them and not get fed up of them compared to many of the more flavored ships like the Diner one that I personally could not eat more than a few at the time as the taste was so overbearing.

[@KamikazeWeed]

You should try "Kaikilla Mausteilla" By Real Snacks, they have an idea of Lihapiirakka taste on a chip and i think they are really well done !

[@TopiAS06]

kaikilla mausteilla was idea from makkaraperunat if i remember correct.. just look at the things but in them.. they taste like shit

[@lottaoinonen8444]

nooo not lihapiirakka... more like loaded fries. they have mustard, ketchup and some kind of pickle relish

[@Z3R0F1V3]

I speak suomea as im suomalainen person

[@OjStudios]

They used to taste super great. Like "makkaraperunat kaikilla mausteilla" but something was done to them, they're quite meh nowadays.

[@jarmosivula1011]

You should try Poppamies brand snacks. They should have some oomph

[@jamesbernadette6216]

Aye, was wondering where was the real stuff ;D

[@naikou8941]

Hot Rod chips are pretty good

[@raatomieli4204]

and they are one of the oldest flavors Taffel makes.

[@lukapitkanen3333]

Taffel hearts are my favorite for sure. Get them on chip taste test part 2 ;)

[@suupaltti]

Those Muumin snacks are actually polyurethane :D

[@pimeylem7324]

If yuo want more than litle burn from chili chips try poppamies products. They got good chili chips.

[@sleepines]

how dare u give hot rods 1 star D: my childhood must-have chips.. just because they're not "hot"

[@Middela1]

My top five and my recommendations: 1. Estrella: linssisipsit (chili-kermaviili is the best!) 2. Taffel: Ranch 3. Taffel: Kartanon perunalastut (tilli-kermaviili and valkosipuli-kermaviili) 4. All chipventures flavors (salty licorice, chili verde, craft beer pils and honey butter). 5. Estrellan Sadonkorjuu: Kanttarelli & Kermaviili

[@zmatoz8497]

You must try Estrella Sourcream & Ranch!!

[@idar4507]

You should try Poppamies-chips! You can find them in K-citymarkets and Prismas I think, maybe in some smaller stores also.

[@diynevala]

Hot Rod is one of my favorites, they were given an unfortunate name as you'd then expect something really spicy. But they are tasty, and you are supposed to wear some of them as rings on your fingertips and eat a handful of them at once.

[@raatomieli4204]

You should try estrella sadonkorjuu kantarelli

[@Kardinaalilintu]

HELL YES

[@Ellulellu]

And the onion ones also if they still sell them

[@tomimakirinne]

God yes!

[@mayflower4040]

Ohh Yes!!

[@sannap7381]

Next week taste test on dips for crisps 😉. I really miss Taffel dips and everytime I go to Finland I buy dip sachets to take home.

[@Thunderhawk51]

There is literally nothing better than Taffel Fire Balls. My all time favorite snacks. Too bad it's starting to disappear from some shops :(

[@Vepantteri]

I recommend Taffel Bravo and Ranch, those would be my favorites by taffel.

[@nemberma]

You forgot linssisipsi

[@nemberma]

@@anttipekkap I can get behind that, even though I think they all taste pretty awesome :)

[@nemberma]

@@anttipekkap there's now roasted onion and hernesipsi too

[@Idellle]

I get gassy from them

[@laurar245]

@@anttipekkap there is chili flavored linssisipsi. And in my rank they beated ranch in first try 👍

[@Aurinkohelmi]

As for those Hot rods. They are pretty old chips from time when there wasn´t basically anything spicy on the market in Finland ;)

[@pompekdev3119]

Don't remember if you have tried Taffel Flavor Max Wasabi Balls yet but definitely worth to try. My favorite currently.

[@ayntmamiagaag]

A definite recommendation from here as well!

[@kielomariamaja8334]

I also recommend this - though in our family whenever I try to eat them my spouse hogs them all up.

[@M1yao]

If you like salty+sweet, you should try eating Manhattan chips and Fazer’s blue at the same time 🤤

[@Ellulellu]

Oh the honey butter ones are my absolute favourite😍

[@patoman5112]

I loved those Estrella hot chili ones but I am unable to find them anywhere now

[@valtteripallari4961]

You need to try the Snack Fries! (Chips) And some types of dippi kastike for the chips

[@anskul844]

I would like more these Finnish chip tasting videos! Because there are so Many different flavours in k-citymarket or prisma. But fantastic video again Dave! ❤️

[@corn815]

I seriously can't watch this video now, even though I want to, since after watching only a minute, I want to go to the store and buy some Hot Rods but I can't 😂

[@wanhapatu]

Hot Rods are a classic. They have been around like always. And they are not supposed to be hot (as in capsaicin hot), they just were more spicy than the plain salted chips that were about the only other option back in the day. Of course they are quite mild compared to the options available in 2019.

[@TheSophiezation]

YEEEEEEEEEES he's back!

[@suvikuu7905]

You should also try Kartanon merisuola & balsamico chips, they are one of my faves! Also Linssisipsi ranch flavor is so good!

[@mikaelpeltonen96]

Diner chips are addicting but only for a while. You can't eat more than a quarter of that bag at once, strong flavours start to burn in your mouth and leave a bad aftertaste. Estrella is another big company besides Taffel but Kartano chips are perhaps the best out of less-known ones.

[@Jenyanana]

You should test the real snacks flavour named "all flavours", kaikilla mausteilla, which originates from takeaway grill food here

[@ronjapai]

have you tried the salty licorice chips??they are the same brand and in a similar bag as the honey butter ones! 🥔

[@mantailuaa]

ronja He has, mentioned about it on the vid too.

[@mikoske]

Hot rods are almost the most basic chips available, found almost in every party, just basic. Have you tried Real Snacks' Kaikilla mausteilla? That's one of my favorites. Also chicken legs either by taffel/estrella, I don't remember the brand.

[@Charjune]

I'm glad Diner won the test. I'm not surprised, it's really good and it's one of my new favorites! I'd like to see more of your Finnish chips test! I hope you'll find the other news, like Estrella Linssisipsi Roasted Onion and Estrella Karamellisoitu Punasipuli (picked red onion)/Kantarelli & Kermaviili (chanterelles & sour cream). Other recommended tests if you find them and haven't tried yet: Taffel Chips Choko/Raffel Choco, Taffel KickX Onion Mix, Taffel Pizza Snacks (now THAT is a flavorful treat!) or any Linksuo rye snacks (chips, crisps and nachos). Oh yeah, and Kartanon chips are always a recommendation and they have various flavors so go for the one that appeals your interest the most. (You're right, we do have a whole lot of Taffel chips. I just realized a majority of my suggestions are of Taffel - I didn't even think about the brands so much when I buy the chips bags, I just enjoy the chips. xD)

[@crazycooner]

Little kids use the hot rods as rings and it's very nostalgic to do

[@harju4501]

You need to test Taffels Bravo chips, i love it

[@miikkavalimaki]

Oh my, dissing legendary Hot Rods and then next trying Estrella! This is sacreligious video.

[@samuraiduckie]

I looove the sea salt oat chips, or the arabiatta pesto flavor! You should try those.

[@marjas.]

Hi Dave! I love your taste tests! Here is an idea for your next taste test: "meat substitutes". I mean vegetarian and vegan products that are used to substitute meat in a meal if don't want to eat meat. For example Härkis, Nyhtökaura and Elovena Muru. Eating less meat is a great way to show you care about the planet. I dare you to try! Ps. You should also try Linssisipsi, lentil crisps!

[@saska8301]

Nuut nuut vitun pingu :D More meat dave!

[@Rule7X1H]

On that Honey butter package is finnish swan sign, which means product is made in Finland.

[@bruhdude6712]

my favourite is taffel ranch chips and taffel hearts

[@nyyminuolivaara]

Estrella Hot Chili & Sour Cream got me hooked. 🤪 I neeeeed to have them.

[@wardeni4806]

Kartanon Perunalastut ("The Manor's chips") are the best ones out there IMO, especially the Dill & sour cream ones. They're not too special in the broad sense, but they're very high quality and have lots of flavour

[@lottaoinonen8444]

u have to try " kaikilla mausteilla" from Real Snacks, they are my ultimate favorite chips!! It means like " with every spices" and are basically spiced with mustard, ketchup and pickles if I remember right. I don't even like potato chips but those are 👌

[@S4M1X]

You should taste Taffel "SIPS" and Taffer "Broadway"

[@PantsYT]

Ja Eiffel "SIBS", varsinkin Johannes maku

[@karhukoplafilms8192]

For the entire video I was waiting you to test the Juusto snacks from taffel. They are great! Maybe next time ?

[@Punkkis90]

Yeah, me too!

[@geekyjulia6053]

I've just opened the pickle&mayo one from the big chip bag i got from Linnanmäki and i agree with you, the flavor is really intresting. XDDD

[@ivylasangrienta6093]

Hot rods aren't meant to be hot. They get their name from the car, or the wheel of the hot rod car.

[@CubeDaWoop]

the Diner are a new chip from Taffel and I love them :D

[@lodelude8461]

You have to try the sourcream and ranch flauvor from estrella

[@hennajulia]

Dave, you should try the artisan chips by Estrella. They are unbelievably crunchy, and packed with flavor! My absolute favorite is the garlic and chili, the best chip ever if you ask me. It's a pretty small bag, and it costs like 2,5€, but to me, totally worth the price.

[@djohnny1337]

Those Estrella Hot Chili & Sour Cream chips are my current favourite. They are actually surprisingly spicy if you eat more than a few...

[@tapiopuranen88]

To whom was the finger at 5:10 aimed at?

[@jasminpatsi9057]

Since Christmas is coming, you should try different gingerbread cookies (even from the same firm, since there is now lemon and ginger ones, and orange. And some covered in chocolate) and/or glögi

[@wormstheii]

Have you tried lumi pantteri by fazer

[@gerkoc5084]

Try Taffels San Diego chips and linssi sipsejä? (maybe those chocolate chips too?)

[@kielomariamaja8334]

I would recommend giving other Real Snacks chips a go. How about Kaikilla mausteilla (mixed spices) and the liquorice chips you mentioned? Have you tried the Kartanon dill chips? Personally those are probably my favourite, followed by the Chipventures honey butter chips. Loving these videos!

[@unnamias]

The oat chips are better in other flavors! The plain seasalt one is my favorite, especially with sweetchili dip made into creme fraise instead of sourcream 😋

[@ALTHiR]

Honey butter chips come from Korea. They were so popular that people started to import them from there using Ebay. Then Finnish people jumped in the took part of the market with these.

[@1andonlyMiro]

Haven't even watched the video yet but I already know I need a sequel. Also Estrella sour cream and ranch needs, Taffel Bravo and Estrella sadonkorjuu kantarelli chips need to be included if you can find them, they are a bit of a different treat but delicious. Edit. Also anything by Poppamies but be prepared.

[@mewmew8909]

pickles and mayo is amazing, one of my new favorite chips lol

[@GorgeousRandyFlamethrower-]

Same here

[@LittleDfan]

You should try artisan chips from estrella. It's not a finnish brand but they are so good and full of flavor.

[@perunapena6728]

Estrella hot chili sourcream onion is great, its also a brand new product

[@papashrek4061]

Dave im from finland and you gave me a shout out in one of your streams btw hot rods are my favorites

[@AHVENAN]

There's a reason why Taffel dominates the chips market, they are just superior, period! 😋

[@Lanski614]

My favourite chip is Taffel's Bravo sweet chili and sour cream. You must try it at some point.

[@Ghostiification]

Those Diner chips are REALLY good. Luckily none of my closest markets have them because I could eat them every day. You should try "Kaikilla mausteilla", if you haven't already. Not sure did you test them years ago. Those are another surprisingly good chips. Pretty weird, but good.

[@jojobee42]

Hot Rods is an old chip. It existed already in the 80s.. So it's a classic! And the taste is actually still the *exact same* than what it used to be! So keep that in mind when tasting them ~ old classics don't have modern favors, hence why they might taste a little 'tasteless' ?? BTW, those rings fitted in our fingers when we were kids! That's kind of how we always ate them, filled up all the fingers with them! 😆 Don't fit no more ~ or did they make them smaller?? 😅

[@MrNakki]

You should get ALL of the Real Snacks crisps and try them out. I've not gone back to Taffel after I had "kaikilla mausteilla" flavour

[@Punkkis90]

(Won't say anything about the Hot Rod, since many already commented on that...) You MUST try Juustonaksut (Cheese snacks) from Taffel! My ultimate favorite!

[@reginageorge1935]

You should try: Taffel Hearts, Kartanon tilli&kermaviili, kaikilla mausteilla, and taffel broadway!

[@Glyxis.]

Hehe, I'm eating Taffel's Broadways while watching. I must admit I'm kinda chip addict. But yeah, Taffel's Broadways (Sourcream & Onion) have always been (and will be) my favorite chips of all time. (Although Pringles' is good second I guess!) In general I prefer Taffel also. There is some Estrellas I like but not too many.

[@grAuh96]

Hot rods are so good, they were the "spicy" childhood chips. And btw you are supposed to wear those as rings, at least I did

[@aldotrioksidi]

Real Snacks have the biggest revenue from what I recall from the finnish chip brands and I insist you to try the "kaikilla mausteilla"-one unless you already tried them. They're great!

[@maxuvirhe]

Hot rods are my favorite chips😂

[@MarieMarie-ew7yy]

Hot rods are imaginary toy car wheels so that's why they are small :D and they have that barbeque taste, i love them a loooooooooot! My favs.

[@AttiBanZai]

Its either Estrella och OLW in Sweden. Havent seen taffel in Sweden yet.

[@riinuliini9620]

I think OLW is "the Swedish version" of Taffel. Both are owned by Orkla and have same chips as far as I have tasted. OWL also has some flavors/chips that has been Taffel's chips collection but have been discontinued

[@SuperKaamio]

Those "pickles and mayo"-chips are just hideous! Yöööhrrggbrlp!

[@mariala4934]

Ikr they are so disgusting

[@alluusio]

Almost puked when trying to eat them.

[@itsnotoona]

You should try Estrella's Linssisipsit. They are very tasty vegan chips made out of lentils.

[@idachuu]

I loooooooove the honey butter chips

[@kauramaitoviiksi]

You should have also tried dips!!

[@seadog678]

Taffels Fireballs is the best!

[@RoopeHalonen]

I've had those honey butter things in Estonia. Didn't know they were a Finnish thing.

[@Smoldepressedboi]

Video yes

[@markusosenius5317]

Pickle as a taste in crisps. I'm yet to taste that very weird combination. And olives, yes please. I love olives.

[@Petryyys]

I actually eat right now those same pickle flavour chips whe I watching this :D

[@maestrobash7822]

I think they changed something with Hot Rods at some point. Hot Rods were awesome when I was a kid, then I had them again after a long while and it's like they put less flavoring in it or something.
