    Unfortunately most chip companies don’t actually use salt and vinegar directly, they use sodium diacetate and sodium acetate which when combined produce the salt and vinegar flavouring we know.

        Yeah, basically. You get the same flavour but in a powdered form. Imagine opening a bag of chips and getting a soggy mess of liquid vinegar. It would be chaos. Its probably cheaper too, but I don’t know shit about chip manufacturing.
