I've probably waxed on about this before, but some people get (what I view as) performatively lusty for potato products. Like "oooh tater tots/chips/fries/mash/hash browns :9999999999". I cannot relate to those people because I think potatoes are "okay". I love carbs, don't get me wrong, but potatoes just don't scratch any itch for me. The bacon-obsessed bros or the cheese obsessed wine moms were more relatable (even though I view those obsessions as a little performative too). What's that? Others think my Dunkin obsession is performative AND disgustingly corporate? Well, that's fine. They can write about that in their own little blogs then. Frankly, it's good to have a special interest, and the potato people are lucky because potatoes ARE very versatile. The problem with these chips is I see them as (oily salty) pure essence of potato. The only flavor note is "potato chip". The texture is nice and gentle, but the taste is sooooo boring to me. And this is supposed to be a treat? I resent that. As plain chips go, Kettle Brand is aces for their allergy info and thickness (thin=less potato flavor per cubit), but the only reason I buy these as school snacks is they're portable (and safe).
Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 5/10
