    Instructions unclear: still depressed and smell like vinegar.

    Eating salt and vinegar chips is the biological equivalent of scrubbing your digestive tract with a wire brush, and this is exactly what I deserve.

      I’ve heard of people being told to drink vinegar to try and pass a THC test.

    The trial was completed by a total of 28 overweight but otherwise healthy adults, who were split into two groups: one group taking two tablespoons of red wine vinegar twice daily, and the other group taking a daily pill with a very small amount of vinegar in it.

    Group too small, overweight is a weird group to use because it doesn’t really apply to people. And there wasn’t a control

      While I understand your point that it is a weird group to test on,

      Overweight people aren’t people?

        Sure but my point was that an underlying health condition can impact a study and mean the results don’t apply to the general population

        It could be as simple as vinegar is an appetite suppressant so their mood boosted as their diet was better

      An effect that becomes less surprising with repetition. At some point, it’s no longer a “surprising effect” but an entirely expected one.

    The country with the highest per capita consumption of vinegar in 2018 was the Netherlands, with 3,108 liters per 1,000 people

    This checks out. As we all know, the Dutch only inflict depression, they’re never depressed themselves.

    Is that effect making your depression worse? I think drinking vinegar might make me more depressed.

    Unfortunately most chip companies don’t actually use salt and vinegar directly, they use sodium diacetate and sodium acetate which when combined produce the salt and vinegar flavouring we know.

        Yeah, basically. You get the same flavour but in a powdered form. Imagine opening a bag of chips and getting a soggy mess of liquid vinegar. It would be chaos. Its probably cheaper too, but I don’t know shit about chip manufacturing.
