Oman today_ The Dutch company Rewind has recently launched a product that offers a completely different taste and sensory experience from anything currently available in the snack market. This new chip is designed to mimic the flavor of a 9-volt battery — the very same kind many people curiously tasted during childhood.
The ingredients were carefully selected to recreate the metallic, tingling sensation associated with licking a battery. The use of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate triggers a sharp, fizzy reaction on the tongue, while mineral salts contribute to the distinct metallic flavor. Importantly, the product contains no actual battery components and is entirely safe and edible.
According to reputable sources such as The Verge and Foodbeast, the product is real and has been released in limited quantities across Europe, with global ordering options now available. Taste testers have described the chips as somewhere between a strong salt-and-vinegar flavor and a subtle metallic aftertaste — unusual, but edible. Rather than being purely delicious, the flavor is intended to evoke a unique and nostalgic experience.
Rewind’s goal in creating this chip was to deliver a sensory throwback for a generation that once, out of childhood curiosity, discovered what a battery tasted like.
