< Decided to pop in to say hi, and wish everyone a happy Record Day!
Excuse the ignorance of this stereo that didn't manage to spot this post. Thanks for that, < hopes you will also have a good record day, or just day in general.

< will admit the salt & vinegar flavour is a lot sharper, but that makes < slow down and appreciate the texture more
< is not sure why < even doesn't like it, along with vinegar on chips. Everyone that goes to the "chipper" asks for a lot of salt and vinegar, which is why this flavour is popular < would guess. < just somehow can't enjoy them, it's weird. < is aware everything has vinegar in it most of the time, like ketchup for example, yet < likes this. < knows it's also just a preservative in many things and < eats those too. < knows that < is basically consuming vinegar quite often, but < can't put it on chips and enjoy it, or enjoy that crisp flavour. It really seems like it makes no sense.
Well everyone has different taste buds. Maybe ^ likes vinegar in different formats other than just by itself. Personally < prefers vinegar when used as flavoring in rice, not chips/fries/potatoes.

Phew it's winding down a bit. < can finally look around.

< meant to say sweet rice vinegar.
Regular white vinegar? Yeah not really into that sharpness <self....
< wouldn't ever add it to anything either. < is pretty much unsure as to why < doesn't like the crisps then. < definitely doesn't like the smell of vinegar, especially malt. Maybe it's just hardcoded into <'s brain to not like those, because < just never did. < tried tasting them again though recently and still just didn't really like them. < does think it could still be a smell related thing also, because < does remember when people used to eat "chipsticks", and < always used to hate the smell. It's just generally weird that we even like / dislike different smells.

I would only maybe use apple cider vinegar.
Apple cider vinegar.....< loves apple cider but < somewhat dislikes acv. < remembers <'s parents tried to get < on this shtick fad of drinking acv with water and honey. Yeah that didn't work. Wouldn't mind using this as part of a vinaigrette/dressing though.

Don't worry, < isn't judging, you don't have to justify it! But yes, all those crisp flavours have strong smells, that might not be everyone's cup of tea.
Damn, < is really craving Taytos now. Thank God we don't have any around the house! (or do we? )
Haha, it's fine. It's just interesting that we all like different ones like this. < seems to eat plenty of things with vinegar and not complain, < just thinks it's weird in <'s case.
< literally started craving crisps as well because of talking about them, but < couldn't find any in the house.

< wonders what VirtualBox work you're up to these days!
< is still hunting for a couple more educational games that < played as a kid and putting them in one of the 4 workspaces (3 XP, 1 2000 for some reason 7 seems to have issues for < maybe it's because i'm using an updated virtualbox). < has only a couple left to do and then < can use them whenever < wants.
< still has to finish reorganizing the files on <'s computer on top of this and setting up <'s Linux VMs on VMWare. Yeah < is weird like that.
Nice! < assumes these games don't have CD audio? The main educational games < can think of from <'s own childhood are the Rayman ones, so those can't work under VBox due to the CD audio requirement
CD audio was the best way to have beautiful soundtracks in the 90s, but now it's a pain in the backside for emulation, < has found repeatedly over the years
Actually all of <'s games have some form of audio, and oddly enough they've all installed and opened successfully. Granted I had a lot of moments where i missed and the discs wouldn't open. Finding older pc games isn't that hard, but finding older educational pc games is.
