    My home state has salt and vinegar chips that are so acidic that eating more than a handful will burn the inside of your mouth and the skin on the edge of your lips will fall off.

    So anyway those are my favorite flavor ever and I eat so many every time I have the chance to eat them that I can’t taste for a week.

    Edit: I hate autocorrect. Always have.

      Here in NZ we have the regular salt and vinegar chips, but also the more intense vinegar and salt chips.

      I like the stronger ones, but too many makes my mouth feel like it is about to fall out.

      I suppose the fix is to find a basic drink to neutralize the acid before it burns your mouth?

      I can’t think of any basic drinks…

      EDIT: Apparently, milk, tea, and certain juices are basic/alkaline.

        Pro tip: After vomiting, have a glass of milk (assuming you can keep it down). It’ll neutralize the stomach acid burning your throat

          Surely water is better because the pH of your average fresh milk is between 6.5 to 6.9

          Milk of magnesia is ph 10.5 though.

          But that’s the good stuff.

        Basically most food is at least a bit acidic (even milk and tea) because it keeps better.
