Taste: These chips did not live up to the heat hype on the bag. The were very crunchy, kettle-style chips with a sparse, dark red seasoning on them. The flavor was sort of like tomato or sweet peppers at first. It was tasty and distinctive, as I couldn't directly correlate it with any other flavor I've tried. But there really wasn't any heat to speak of as I ate the chip. These was a hot aftertaste, but not one that would necessarily force you to run and get water.
