Paprika is the mildest way to put colour and warmth on a chip. It's ground from sweet cultivars instead of the hot varieties of the same species, so it brings a fruity, faintly smoky note and very little heat. That's why it turns up on so many European crisps where chilli would be too much. Pinch is the operative word. A Dipper is designed to carry something else, so a seasoning strong enough to compete would undo the point of the format. This is a step up from the plain salted bag and not a flavour in its own right, and the middle option of the three. Original Salted brings nothing, Zesty Lime brings acid, and paprika sits between them with colour and warmth but no sharpness.
