Sweet-Sour Chip Flavors

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Potato Chips from Ten Acre Blend Opposing Flavors

— February 27, 2016 — Lifestyle
Sweet and sour flavors often come together for soups and sauces, but now Ten Acre is uniting them for one of its chip flavors.

As with all of Ten Acre's snacks, this one features a quirky name that begins to tell a story: "The Day Sweet and Sour Became Friends." The potato chip base is enhanced with seasonings like onion, garlic and tomato powder, as well as black pepper and paprika extract. As far as where the sweet and sour flavoring comes into play, the chips are seasoned with a sweet and sour flavoring, as well as both sugar and salt. As a whole, this snack is reminiscent of some well-known Chinese-style food items.

Rather than simply flavoring a sweet, salty or savory snack, consumers are now looking to food products that feature more complex combinations of tastes.

1. Complex Flavor Combinations - Consumers are seeking out food products featuring unique and unexpected flavor combinations.
2. Flavor Pairing Innovation - There is an opportunity for companies to create new and interesting flavor pairings that appeal to adventurous taste buds.
3. Quirky, Storytelling Branding - Brands like Ten Acre are standing out by using fun and unique names for their products, offering a new way to market and sell snacks.
Industry Implications
1. Snack Food Industry - Companies in the snack food industry can capitalize on consumers' desire for complex and interesting flavors to create new and innovative products.
2. Food Seasoning Industry - The food seasoning industry could develop and sell new flavors and blends that offer creative combinations of tastes for snack and meal products.
3. Marketing and Advertising Industry - In agencies and firms specializing in marketing and advertising, there is an opportunity to help food companies differentiate themselves by developing creative and unique branding strategies.
