Flavor: Cucumber
Country: China
When Seen: May 2019
In a Bite: Unpleasant on the nose, just like cucumbers on the tongue. Some even say it is sweet.
In a Haiku: Bland vegetable taste. Who wouldn’t love that on chips? Cukes to the rescue!
Origin Story: The flavor department was looking for a bland, vegetable flavor to add to their offerings. It was a close call with iceberg lettuce flavor, but ultimately, cucumber won out.

This flavor is delicious, probably my favourite out of all the ones in china. It doesn’t remind me of a cucumber. It’s sweeter than you’d expect.
Thanks for letting us know, 涂芬妮. We hope to get a chance to try it some day. If you find any new flavors in China that we don’t have, please email them to us at chips@laysaroundtheworld.com. Xie xie!
My local Asian market, Assi Market in North Wales, Pennsylvania, America has these. I grabbed a bag. They are definitely sweet like 涂芬妮 said above. I’d say it’s almost like a shortbread cookie flavor. I do recommend them! The package date is 9/14/2020.
Thanks for sharing, Rick. If you come across any new and unique flavors at that market that we don’t have here, please do send them our way.
