Chipping away at "original"
I can't be the only one who has noticed that the chip section is threatening to take over the international foods aisle, both literally and figuratively. Seems like chip companies are throwing unusual flavors at the masses to see what sticks. "Original," it seems is no more... About the closest you can get is Sea Salt and Fresh Pepper. (By the way, how "fresh" can the pepper be by the time it gets to your store?)
At least the folks at Kettle Foods let the people have a say in the flavors. You can vote for the next flavor they launch. I've researched the candidates and I have to say my favorite is the Jalapeno Salsa Fresca. They were flavorful but still packed some heat. The other flavors running for election are Mango Chili, Orange Ginger Wasabi (good for when your nose is stuffy), Death Valley Chipotle and Wicked Hot Sauce.
You can also take a survey to "find your flavor" before you go back to the grocery store ... Mine is Spicy Thai. Mmm...
