I bought a bag - a rather small bag at that - at Behnford's when we were in Helsinki for something like 8 or 9 euros, I think (inflation's not as much as you might think, because they were Kettle Chips - they could probably stock cheaper ones from Britain). Which was ridiculous, but I'd do it again. They were... a tastegasm. My tongue sort of tingles with bliss just remembering.
My first year here, I used to try to make my own. I'd actually drizzle vinegar over potato chips or dip them in it - proper imported malt vinegar, which you can buy at Stockmann Deli. But the result is mostly just a soggy mess (vinegar drizzled on fat home-cooked french fries, however, is pretty good).
