One of Australia’s favorite drinks has been turned into a potato chip flavour, leaving Australians divided over whether the snack is genius or ‘a step too far’.
A shocked customer spotted the new Bundaberg Ginger Beer flavored Kettle chips on Tuesday.
“Which one of you degenerates allowed this to happen?” they captioned a photo of the chips.
However, dozens of Aussies rushed to defend the collaboration as ‘tasty’.
“They taste absolutely phenomenal,” one person wrote.
“That sounds damn mint, I’d love to try some,” said another.
“I enjoyed it, a bit of a shock if you weren’t expecting the taste as it’s quite intense,” wrote another.
“They’re surprisingly tasty, just a hint of ginger,” a fourth person commented.
“They’re really good, I’ll be sad when the limited edition ends,” said another.

Other commentators were not so convinced and condemned the new flavor.
“I saw this yesterday and couldn’t believe it was a thing,” said one.
“They were so worried about whether they could do it that they never stopped to think about whether they should,” wrote a third.
‘I can not do it. I bought the Twisties cinnamon donut, they hurt me so much,” said another.
“They’re completely taking over the p*ss now,” wrote another.
A major point of contention for commentators was the $6 per bag price.
“I’m curious, but not $6 a bag,” said one.
“I didn’t buy them until I saw them on special at the servo for $3.50 and they tasted good,” wrote another.

Bundaberg Brewed Drinks, famous for its Bundaberg Ginger Beer and flavored colorful varieties, was founded in Central Queensland in 1960.
It began exporting its fermented soft drinks abroad in the late 1980s and is now sold around the world.
The Ginger Beer flavor of Kettle chips will be available in all major Australian supermarkets for a limited time.
