Would you spend this much money on a box of five individual crisps? Picture: St. Erik’s
A BREWERY has created what are believed to be the most costly potato chips ever created — and there are only five in a packet.
St Erik’s brewery in Sweden recently launched the chips, which are said to fully complement their beer.
But don’t expect a bowl or bagful. A box of 5 individual chips will set you back 499 Swedish krona (AU$90).

They’re made with Ammarnas potatoes mixed with matsutake (a mushroom that tastes similar to mature cheese), truffle seaweed, crown dill, leksand onion, and India pale ale.
Only 100 boxes of ‘the world’s most exclusive chip’ were made and they sold out immediately.
“We’re passionate about the craftsmanship that goes into our beer,†brand manager Marcus Friari said in a statement.

“At the same time, we felt that we were missing a snack of the same status to serve with it.
“A first-Âclass beer deserves a first-Âclass snack, and this is why we made a major effort to produce the world’s most exclusive potato chips.
“We’re incredibly proud to be able to present such a crispy outcome,†he added.
