May 8, 20241 yr If you like the Voodoo flavoring, they are worth a try. They are very heavy on the seasoning with them. Honey Mustard ones were also good.
May 8, 20241 yr My wife was back home in Charlotte, Nawfkurrlyna and brought back a few sacks of this stuff. I’m not a pretzel guy but these thing were quite good.

May 9, 20241 yr I'm near the end of our first bag of El Patio tortilla chips. Personally, I don't get the hype. They need a little more salt for one thing. For a basic white corn tortilla chip, the house chips from Randall's cost less than half as much and taste better to me:

On 5/9/2024 at 1:25 AM, rage-a-holic said: These chips are cheaper and kick the shit out of any mass produced tortilla chip. yeah, el patio are incredible. way better than the HEB style chips (unless you like the superthins) one of the new HEB wavy chip flavors is lemon pepper had two bags now, the first ones were some of the best chip flavorings i've had in who knows how long. second ones are just ok, still good but not as awesome as the first batch tastes like the salt and pepper version of the kettle chips with lemon. actually really good. highly recommend Spoiler
June 2, 20241 yr Another new Doritos flavor. They’re really sweet and have a respectable little kick. They’re different. I’ll finish the bag but I probably won’t buy them again.
June 2, 20241 yr On 5/9/2024 at 1:25 AM, rage-a-holic said: These chips are cheaper and kick the shit out of any mass produced tortilla chip. yeah those are salted perfectly. if they are fresh and crunchy they slam

Also, I grabbed a bag of these the other day (kinda chip, kinda cracker): Frank's isn't that hot, so I wasn't expecting much. They actually have a real bite to them. Which made me think they'd be freaking GENIUS to sprinkle onto a good tomato soup. I am actually impressed.

June 5, 20241 yr Just a throw out question. I’m a type 2 diabetic. Any recommendations for some chips I can enjoy that won’t kill me?
June 5, 20241 yr Just a throw out question. I’m a type 2 diabetic. Any recommendations for some chips I can enjoy that won’t kill me? Kale chips.

June 10, 20241 yr Just a throw out question. I’m a type 2 diabetic. Any recommendations for some chips I can enjoy that won’t kill me? Someone gave me a bag of taco flavored Quest protein chips. Gotta say, they tasted a lot like the old Doritos taco chips. Not half bad.

June 10, 20241 yr Yet another new Doritos flavor. So now they’ve got ketchup flavor, mustard, pickle, and late night cheeseburger. I’m passing on all of them.

Not diabetic, but been around enough keto/Atkins people to think their solution would work for you. Better yet, dip them in fresh guac. As good as any chip, possibly better.

June 11, 20241 yr 6 hours ago, SydneyCarton said: What makes it un-keto friendly? Maltodextrin has a glycemic index of over 100. It's probably ok if it's just a small amount though. I think you also have to watch out for maltitol since it has a glycemic index of about 65 and isn't counted in net carbs on nutritional labels.

I see that online but weirdly it’s not listed on the ingredients from my bag at home.
