Great news for NFL UK fans, as legendary crisp maker McCoy’s has announced that they will be partnering with the league here for the next few seasons. Chips McCoy’s!
Britain is a nation of crisp (or chips) enthusiasts, and now British fans can double-dip all they want, with a fantastic array of flavours to suit every NFL fan.
Or do they?
Sure, McCoy’s has some amazing, and tasty options when it comes to flavour-town, but are there any truly team-centred chips to satisfy NFL UK fans?
There is now!
To help the McCoy’s team find some authentic tastes, we came up with a few team flavours unique to their fan base. Now British fans can rip open a bag, and support their team just by chowing down.
Let’s take a look at some of the flavours we here at NFL in London have cooked up for the 2024 NFL season!
NFL UK Themed Crisps
Saints-Cajun Crawdad
What could be more NOLA than wet, river bugs? New Orleans is famed for it’s crawdad cookouts, and southern spices, so we present to you ‘Cajun Crawdad Flavour’.
Sure, we do have some flavours similar here in the UK already, but this popping crunch will make you say ‘Who Dat’ in every bite.
Vikings-Mead Herring
The Vikings are historically famed for many things, some good, a lot bad, but one thing that they were notorious for was their love of herring. And who doesn’t love a good smoked fish head for breakfast?
We’ve sweetened the flave for this one, by adding some mead to the mix, giving you Mead Herring-the crisp you never knew you needed.
But you do. You need it now.
Raiders-Rattlesnake Ramen
Check your boots Las Vegas NFL fans, because there might be a rattlesnake in one this season!
Combining the bite of a snake, and the fishiness of ramen, and you get the delictible “Rattlesnake Ramen” smacking you upside the head. No need for anti-venom for this one, but it does pair nicely with tequila and sunsets.
Packers-Cheesy Feet
You know you’re in the midwest when the smells of ripened cheese, and feet are almost indistinguishable. Fear not Wisconsin fans, we have combined both of the flavours to give you Packers Cheesy Feet, foot shaped crisps that smell like an old locker.
You might need some dip for this one, as it’s as cheesy as it is footy.
Jets-Metlife Monster Crunch
NY Jets fans can attest to the monster that lives under the field at Metlife Stadium, so we thought we would honour that beast with it’s own taste. While the monster usually dines on ankles, knees and ACL’s, we’re hoping to tempt it from under the bed with some truly monstrous crisps in this bag.
Chicago-Bear Meat
It’s hunting season somewhere, so why not satisfy the curious carnivore in you with some authentic Bear Meat? Chewy, tough, and with a gamey aroma, these might actually bring out your inner-vegetarian after a whole packet. Good thing they are made from potatoes!
Ravens-Shiny Bits
Ravens and crows are notoriously entertained by shiny things, which makes them the perfect NFL fans! You’ll be shouting ‘nevermore’ from the rooftops, after biting into a bag of potato and metal bits. Trade your shiny bits for other food, or just attract a flock of admirers. Choking hazard? Definitely.
Cardinals-Suet and Crickets
Another bird, another diet you need to try, as we present the Arizona Cardinals ‘Suet and Crickets’ flavoured crisps. Bugs are the future according to scientists, so we doubled down on taste so bold, you’ll be regurgitating it down the throats of your enemies. Flap your wings with pride Arizona, it’s Suet and Crickets time!
Chargers-Electric Eel
Let’s up the voltage with another flavour that will have even the Harbaugh brothers planning a reunion. The Chargers might have moved up the coast a bit, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t lost their sea legs. Shock yourself with each bite of ‘Electric Eel’ crisps, that will power your Sunday Fundays.
Falcons-Peach Pellets
Nothing could be sweeter than a Georgia peach, unless you add some bird chunder to the mix, so we give you Falcons ‘Peach Pellets’ flavour. Bursting with peachiness and with a hint of falcon spew, this new McCoy’s crisp flavour could be bold enough to combine the sweetness of the south, with ornithology.
Titans-Bacon Bourbon
Of all the flavours we concocted, this one actually looks really damn yummy! Combing the salty, crunch of bacon, with the boozy-oozy of bourbon, this is a crisp you won’t want to share. Especially with the kids, ‘cause of bourbon and all that. The perfect flavour for when your team is winning, losing, or on a bye week!
Giants-Rat Apple
Crisp scientists know it’s about finding that perfect taste balance that yields the greatest chip.
Which is why the homage to the New York Giants brings in the tartness of apple, with the rodent aroma of a rat for ‘Rat Apple’. No tetanus shots are required to open a bag of these, although the rat flavonoids will attract more rats.
Of course we’re kidding, for all of you folks who take things too seriously.
We love the NFL, crisps, and everything that fits into the Venn diagram of the two.
Good on you McCoy’s for joining forces with the NFLUK. We’re always ready with some flavour options. Just say the word.
