These chips taste amazing! I love that they are kettle, so they are crunchier than normal potato chips! I love how fresh these are, they are perfect paired with a burger, brat and a Summer day. I love eating these instead of regular potato chips, they have more flavor in my opinion! Definitely a household favorite and a go to at the store! Cara B · influenster.com
