How's this for gross?Tomato sauce and mince pie flavoured potato chips. (American translation: ketchup and beef pot pie flavor.)
Lindsay recoiled in fear at the sight of them. Gareth threw a bag in the shopping cart. The verdict: "tastes like beef pie."
These chips are advertised as being "Kiwi as." The expression "___ as" is a Kiwiism. Popular variations are "sweet as" or "dodgy as." It's a great expression because any adjective fits. You're just saying that something is exceptionally sweet or dodgy or Kiwi. In the case of the beef pie chips, you could say "nasty as" (for example).
Gareth is a big fan of the flavoured chips. Apparently they are popular in Britain too. Here, in addition to pie flavoured, you can get duck & plum sauce flavour, chicken flavour, or lamb and mint flavour. Mmmmmm, doesn't your mouth just water?
