I'm eating Smith's Potato Crisps' Great Australian Tastes Heinz Big Red Tomato Sauce & Meat Pie Flavour chips right now. And it's (not so) fucking great.
Julie, noooooo! Think of the children! Don't ask me how, but I'm sure they'll suffer somehow because of this flavouring fiasco.... mmm, alliteration *cough*

OK, and I thought it was odd when chipmakers in the US came out with potato skin bacon and cheddar chips modeled after the potato skins appetizer served by the TGIFriday's restaurant chain.
Just to check - we're talking US chips (UK crisps), yeah? 'Cause Marks and Sparks had (may still have, for all I know) a line of Buttered Jacket Potato flavour crisps, at one point, and they were yummy. And weirdly like buttered jacket potato. And they had fish'n'chip flavour crisps, which were yummy.
But then, I used to order Spaghetti Bolognese Pizza from The Pizza Gallery back in the day, so I'm quite partial to carbohydrates on top of carbohydrates. Um.
Fay! My sister! Come stateside and I'll cook you carbs for lightyears. I thrive on them.

Yeah. Just the redundancy of making a potato chip and calling it potato-skin-with-bacon-and-cheddar flavored inclines me to make fishy eyes. It's a bacon&cheddar flavored potato chip!
What's buttered jacket potato??
Baked potato with butter.
Baked potato with butter.
Yep. Which should be equally "Look, whaddaya mean it's potato flavoured? Of COURSE it's potato flavoured! It's a crisp!"... only somehow it really did taste like a jacket potato, rather than a potato crisp. Spooky.

swoons
NOW you're talking!
Fay, I eat bread. I bake. I do pasta and things with couscous and lentils.
Tonight's dinner for writing group: homemade shepherd's pie with spcied ground lamb and a field's worth of potatoes, riced and buttered and baked.
Caaaaaaarbs!
Huh. Learn something new, which makes Fay's chips/crisps as ridiculous as mine (didn't know jacket= baked so I was wondering if it was style of cooking or if a jacket potato was different from a potato or what.)
Jacket potato means that it's "baked in its jacket"--ie unpeeled.
Yup: basic baked potato.
And a damfine yummy thing to eat that is, too.
Although I haven't tried the crisps.
