Light & Tangy chips have been an Aussie icon for generations but let’s be real, who hasn’t stopped mid-bite and thought, What is that flavour?

Is it sour cream? French dressing? The mystery only adds to the appeal, and we’re more than happy to keep snacking to figure it out!

But the mystery of Light & Tangy’s iconic flavour might finally be solved, and it’s all thanks to Jordyn Evans, founder of Mingle Seasoning.

After years of guessing, Jordyn believes her team has cracked the code.

Onion, tomato, and paprika. That’s it!

“I’ve always been obsessed with the mystery of Light & Tangy,” she shares. “It’s nostalgic, unique, and so Aussie. We wanted to recreate that flavour for everything—popcorn, potatoes, even chicken—without any of the nasties.”

Mingle Seasoning’s blend captures the sweet, tangy, and savory magic we all know and love.

And TikTok? It’s losing it.

Fans are raving, with comments like, “I’ve waited years for this moment!” and “Why am I so proud of someone I don’t even know?”

So, does this reveal change how you feel about your favorite chips? Or does it only make them more legendary?
