Why can't we have salt and vinegar potato chips in Finland?

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).

Are they like a restaurant? Or café? Or like a stall type of thing, like the vendors that sell hotdogs and big pretzels in NYC and DC?

They're a take-away shop. Like a fast food place, only they're not chain stores. But yeah, they're an actual shop with a place to sit down and read a newspaper while you wait for your order, but no place to eat (usually. There might be some bar-stools at the counter.)
