According to NDTV, the brand took its inspiration from a memory most 90s kids have–touching a battery with tongue just to feel a slight shock! And that’s the exact inspiration it took for the new product launch. Rewind has made sure that these chips have no battery components and are completely safe to eat.

As per the brand, these chips taste like hard-hitting acidic zing on the tongue, with salty metallic notes. The idea is definitely unique, but it also gives a strange feel of nostalgia.
