There's no doubt that a lot of people love Kettle Chips (the brand), with their thick cut, crunchy texture and interesting flavors. I am one of those people. However, I have always been a fan of the simpler flavors - salt and pepper, salt and vinegar, and plain.
Recently, I tried the Spicy Thai flavor as an accompaniment to an Asian-flavored burger, which was strange for me because I am not a huge fan of typical Thai flavorings and ingredients (lemongrass, cilantro). The chips were slightly sour, but were also sweet. I didn't mind the tangy-ness, but it was the sweetness that turned me off. Don't get me wrong, I have a huge sweet tooth, but I like my sweets as candies, pastries, and desserts, not potato chips.

I believe that she bought them either at Safeway or Albertson's. Also, another little tidbit of info on the new chips,,, the Kettle brand company took a poll of differant flavors that people wanted them to create! Spicy Thai was one of them. There were a few more flavors that they came up with, but I don't remember what they were. Also, in the background printed on the bag, they have the names of people that voted for that particular flavor, pretty much thanking those who voted for it!
