Salt and vinegar crisps make my mouth numb and tingly?

[Anonymous]

Chips if you're American ..
I go through stages of eating different flavours of crisps and have just started eating salt and vinegar again recently. Every time I have them, a few hours later my mouth/lips go all numb and tingly!!
Does anyone else have this problem?
I'm not bothered by it haha just wanted to see if it was just me..

Just you..

That happens to me too

Try putting just vinegar on some regular food or just apply a little bit to your skin. Sounds like you could be slightly allergic to the vinegar or you might just have a wound in your mouth with which the combo is interfering with.

The vinegar does that...remember that vinegar is antiseptic (aka it kills germs like alcohol and mouthwash) so that's why u feel "numb".

probably the vinegar in it. i don't eat crisps so i wouldn't know.

That happens with all vinegar foods

I get that if I eat stuff with a lot of vinegar
