Used to be lays stax loaded baked potato but no one around here carries them anymore.

So now it's usually ruffles or utz ridged chips. Grippos if I am feeling feisty

Utz has some creative flavors. Dill pickle, bacon something, South Carolina BBQ, Chesapeake Bay Crab season. Every so often they roll out something unique.

BBQ Doritos are way better than I thought they'd be.

Yeah, those are tasty.

These are very good. There's also a pretzel stick version. Actually tastes like cauliflower.

Wait, there are people that like cauliflower?

These chips are solid. I'd say give them a try. Unless you detest cauliflower, in which case don't. But I think the base of the chip is cassava. It's not like they chipified pure cauliflower.

These are really good.

If you've never had okra before, it has an amazing property that makes it slimy, and people use it to thicken gumbo. But when it's pickled, the slime gets reduced.

Fried okra is one of my favorite foods.

I've been meaning to try and make that.

I've had these a couple of times. Pretty tasty tortilla chips:

The same company make a guacamole version I think, but I haven't had that one.

Those chips look pretty good. Will need to look out for them.

I recently made a kimchi grilled cheese sandwich after stumbling upon a YouTube short with the recipe. Wasn’t bad though I’m not sure it’s good enough where I’ll do it again.
If any of you are interested you sauté the kimchi for a couple minutes in a little bit of oil, remove it from the pan and slice it up. Next get your bread and apply a slice of cheddar to one side and a slice of mozzarella to the other. Sandwich the kimchi in between the slice and cook the sandwich like you would a normal grilled cheese.
Easy enough to make and was a bit more interesting than a regular grilled cheese.

Sounds good. Probably had a nice kick to it. Kimchi can be very pungent.

Oh man, I freaking loved these when I got them!! The taste reminded me of Pizzarias Pizza Chips from the 90's.

I just made my own trail mix. I used banana chips, dried pineapple, dark chocolate chips, Craisins, pistachios, cashews, almonds, and freeze dried peanuts.

I don't think I've ever made trail mix before. It was a expensive, but it made a lot. I'm freezing half of it.

It seems to be delicious, so far.

Trail mix is so damn expensive at the store. Crazy smart move to make in bulk. Wonder how well nuts hold up after freezing?

I read some random article that said it lasts longer in the fridge (weeks) and longer still frozen (months).

These are really good. Bought some items at Trader Joe's, and these were one of the best items I bought.

If anyone here is a fan of pretzels...

Utz pumpernickel pretzels are really good. Very bold and flavorful taste.

Pumpernickel pretzels? Mmmmmm, sounds good. Haven't seen them in stores. Is it a new item?

I'm not sure if it's new, but this was my first time trying them. I always like to try different types and brands of pretzels.

Utz also makes an extra dark pretzel that's really good too.

I used to love these as a kid. Frito Lay knocked them off with Chester Cheetah version which are also very good.

Spicy Nacho is and always will be my go to Dorito. Recently Tapatio was a really good flavor, but I'm guessing they discontinued those as I haven't seen them in awhile. I also remember a Pizza Hut flavor in the 90's, and I swear the tortilla was flour based. I loved those things.

Edit: Found them, but can't get it to show ("Pizza Cravers!" Pizza Hut):

Are those the texture of potato sticks or more like the texture of Cheetos?

Not Cheeto. More like a Cheeto Puff, but closer to a Funyon in terms of crunchy.
