Sure. Been eating them for years. They first appeared around here I think
about 15 years ago. They are a constant annoyance to my wife, who can't stand
the smell of them for some reason. I'm not allowed to eat them in the same room
she's in. Oh well, at least I don't have to share them this way. ;-) I tried
the Mesquite a while ago, and thought they were fairly taste-free. I have never
tried the original. Just in case anyone is interested, this past week I also
found and tried:
Old Dutch "Dutch Crunch" - Jalapeno and Cheddar
and
Poore Brothers Jalapeno Potato Chips
The former isn't a bad chip; unless you're looking for Jalapeno flavor and
heat. Just a faint hint of heat (and I'm a self-proclaimed moderate C-H) that
builds a little, with an equally faint hint of cheese flavor (which seems to
fade as the heat builds). The latter, as I recall, had even less flavor unless
you count salt. Too salty for my tastes. IMHO, Krunchers are superior to either
of these two. Now when are they going to come out with Hab. Krunchers?
