Curious What a Battery Tastes Like? Now You Can Find Out—Voluntarily.
Ever licked a 9-volt battery as a kid just to feel that weird metallic zap on your tongue? Well, a European snack company called Rewind is tapping into that strangely specific childhood memory with its newest corn chip flavor—Battery.
Yes, you read that right.
While Rewind’s lineup includes classic crowd-pleasers like paprika and sriracha, the company is also embracing a more experimental (and slightly shocking) approach to flavor. To evoke nostalgia through taste, they’ve developed a chip that mimics the zingy, metallic sensation of a battery.
To capture this unique profile, Rewind relied on a formula that blends baking soda and citric acid—ingredients more commonly found in science fair volcanoes than snack food. The result? A mouth-tingling, slightly sour, unmistakably electric crunch.
Tech journalist Dominic Preston—perhaps against his better judgment—stepped up as an unofficial taste tester. His verdict? It does, indeed, taste like a battery. Whether that’s a compliment or a cautionary tale is still up for debate.
Rewind’s bold move proves that in the world of snacks, nostalgia doesn’t always have to be sweet—it can be shockingly savory too.
