kettle chips - spicy thai 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.

This sounds good to me. Wonder where I can find some around here? Potato chips and Thai! Two of my favorite things together at last.

Ill have to disagree with the poster. I love these chips ! I had to eat a couple and then I was hooked, the sweetness is an awesome combo to the tang they have. Its rare when I can open a bag of these and not eat them all in one sitting.

I've had them, and I think they're great! My cousin found them and brought them to a party I was throwing, a huge hit w/ the friends. 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!

Spicy Thai are fabulous Kettle chips! I still mourn the loss of the Kettle Habanero Ginger,not as sweet as Spicy Thai.

these are amazing and also impressive that something for wide distribution baring the description "thai" isn't just loaded up with peanut sauce flavor. the flavor is complex...slightly sweet, tangy, spicy. it changes as you eat more and more. incredible.

Costco had huge bags of these this week, along with several other "new" flavors such as BBQ Blue Cheese (or something to that effect).
