NRG: Caffeinated Potato Chips
It had to happen.
We’ve already got caffeinated oatmeal, and even caffeine-infused sunflower seeds.
NRG takes it a bit further by somehow combining Taurine, Caffeine, and even B Vitamins into their “Phoenix Fury” Potato chips. The chips apparently have a “hot flavor”.
The energy chips come from Golden Flake - a company that already has a range of snacks. The bags come in two sizes - 1.75oz and 3.5oz.
Caffeine? Not listed anywhere. We’ll see what we can discover. Watch this space.
UPDATE: The maker claims the amount of caffeine in a 3.5oz bag is equivalent to 3 and a half cups of brewed coffee. Which seems crazy because we are talking around 350mg of caffeine! Something is not right here.

No reply on caffeine amount yet. I left a voicemail on the quality control guys phone though.
Only in America. God I love this country
This will give me a reason to go back to potato chips from Doritos. Hmm…but what if they came out with caffeinated doritos? I’d probably never stop eating them.
Got to be better than the seeds. It took too long to eat a whole bag of sunflower seeds just to get the equivalent energy of 1 energy drink. Now with chips I could scarf down a bag pretty quickly and it would then be worth the effort.
But would the caffeine be in the potato chip itself or in the frying oil or on it like salt? All things to consider when caffeinating chips.
