  A warning to all fellow C-H's out there regarding chips. On a very
recent trip to the grocers I looked for, and grabbed a bag of the 3-D
Jalapeno Cheddar Doritos, because of the recent posts. I also spotted
and grabbed a type of chip I hadn't seen before. The brand is TERRA, and
the variety that caught my eye is "Spiced Sweet Potato Chips". I almost
took a pass due to the price, which was something like three and a half
or so dollars for a six ounce bag. But the list of ingredients included
Cayenne pepper, so I got 'em. I now know why it was the last ingredient
listed. Not only is there no discernible heat, but there is also almost
a complete lack of any flavor whatsoever. I'm no scientist, so I'm not
sure how it's possible, but they actually have about three times more
odor than flavor. Maybe it's just my lack of any former experience with
chips made from sweet potatoes...  Anyway, IMHO, they suck.


My $0.02; no refunds or exchanges of any kind.
