7-Elevens across Thailand are like beacons of air conditioned goodness. Inside their shiny tiled floors and packed aisles, rows of chips with strange flavors line the shelves.
They call the flavor Lobster, Duck, Seaweed and Salad. I have another name for them all … SALT!
A lover of the salty snack, I’ve been known to go into a 7-Eleven in Thailand, find the strangest chips I can, and sample them.
This is often much to the disgust of my loving wife … or anyone else we are with. But where and when else in life am I going to have the chance to sample:
// Lobster Hot Plate
/// Japanese Seaweed
//// Peking Duck With Sauce
/// Crab Fried Rice
// Buttered Corn
/ Hot & Spicy Crab
Most of the time, these chips from 7-Eleven don’t taste anything like their name. As I mentioned above, fish, meat, seaweed and sushi are all just marketing terms for one thing: salty!
American and Thai Chips at 7-Eleven
In addition to all of these strange (by American standards) chip flavors, 7-Elevens in Thailand also are chock-full of some favorites from home. Alongside the duck, pork, squid and pizza snacks are a full line of salted, sour cream & onion, barbecue and more.
But those are far less interesting, so instead, here’s a video of me highlighting some more strange chip flavors at a 7-Eleven in Chiang Mai, Thailand…
