Honey Butter Chip
νλλ²ν°μΉ©
βThe chip that caused actual riots in Korean stores.β
In 2014, Korea lost its mind over this chip. Office workers were asking colleagues to queue at multiple convenience stores. There were online 'honey butter chip bounties.' Min's mom called to ask if he could find her a bag. It was the snack that defined an era β even if it launched when we were already adults.
What it actually is
Honey Butter Chips are thin, ridged potato chips coated in a sweet honey and savory butter seasoning. The flavor is addictive and lacks the greasy aftertaste of many butter-flavored snacks. It's the king of the 'sweet-savory' (λ¨μ§ ) trend in Korea.
Min's Take
Min: Top 3 Korean snack of all time for me. The sweet-salty balance is perfect. I could eat this every single day. 9.5.
Seo's Take
Seo: It's really good, but I think the original hype was a bit much. Still, it's one of the best chips I've ever had. 8.5.
Should you try it?
Should you try it? Yes. It's a crowd-pleaser and one of the most unique potato chip flavors in the world. It makes a great souvenir because most foreigners have never tasted anything like it.
Score Reasoning
9.0. The taste sub-score of 9.5 is the anchor. The Jeong Score of 7 reflects that this launched in 2014: real nostalgia, but not generational in the way that older classics are.
