Cool, I've tried the spicy ones, these ones and the regular ones

Not most cheap, imho. ("Умный выбор" in "Соседи" markets more cheap, and not worse in taste, imho(kz without beer this..."money down the toilet.".

Taste from childhood

They used to be better in late 80's (when they first appeared). Less salt/flavorings, more potato taste. Significantly less greasy too.

I know that, my uncle was living in Marjina Gorka and working on factory which made them, so we often eat them.

u/Yucky_Yak Aug 12 '24

Wow, never knew they exported them, especially that far
Those are pretty popular here and i honestly love them more than the likes of lay's because they feel much less greasy and the flavours aren't too in-your-face (apart from the spicy ones, but i feel like that's the point)

u/Desh282 Aug 13 '24

Why does it have Arabic language ?

u/milk2sugarsplease Aug 13 '24

Interestingly there is a Belarusian Arabic alphabet, but these are just an imported product.

The ones with pepperoni pizza flavour are the best.

u/Emotional_Leader_340 Aug 12 '24

i'm a huge fan of the thai pepper flavor, can't say the same about the rest of them

u/goshakkk Belarusian in the US Aug 12 '24

Damn, I was in Chile recently and didn’t see these in the stores!

u/Zlataisawsome Belarus Aug 13 '24

Oh hell yeah (I yearn for the mushroom ones)

u/onkloud9 Aug 13 '24

u/pochtoy Aug 13 '24

You have to try spicy version, best of the best

u/BackgroundIron Italy Aug 13 '24

But take care. They are high in calories. 😂 I miss this warning labels, I was long time in chile

u/Ill-Mark7174 [custom] Aug 13 '24

Pretty much

u/abbbbbcccccddddd Aug 13 '24 edited Aug 13 '24

Love the thai pepper version, probably the only chips I ever found in a CIS country that are actually spicy. Same company (Belprodukt) also makes other (more traditional looking) chips called Bulba and they have a version of this flavor too, enjoyed them even more than mega chips.

u/olegolas_1983 Aug 13 '24

Had this in South Korea too
