Dutch start-up snack brand 'Rewind' recently introduced '9 volt battery taste' tortilla chips.
The company explains that this snack has a unique metal taste and tingling that was felt when the tongue was attached to the metal terminal of the battery based on the taste of corn.
It also added that no actual battery ingredients were used at all, and that all ingredients consisted of food-grade safe ingredients.
The company wanted to recreate the trend of children who used to stick their tongue to batteries in the 1990s""It was expected that this "battery taste" chip would stimulate adult nostalgia or attract the attention of many people due to simple curiosity "
"It was a really unique request," a development official of the tortilla chip said""We created a tongue-stimulating effect by mixing citric acid with sodium bicarbonate, and added mineral salts to achieve a metallic taste. As a result, a surprisingly delicious and curious taste was completed."
The company's marketer said "Rewind is a perfume-themed brand. As the first product to promote the brand, I thought I'd recreate the strange but memorable experience that everyone shared with the taste"It will be a taste that reminds me of the afternoon of my mindless teenage years."
Currently, the tortilla chips are sold only in the Netherlands, but Rewind plans to expand quickly into the European market, so it is expected that other countries will soon be able to taste 'battery-flavored chips'.
