If these were labeled gourmet or craft chips, we’d easily be paying 3 times their current price.  But they’re not.  So get them while they’re hot, hot, hot.

The bag changed.  I’m not sure when.  Have the chips changed?  The answer is no.  They are still the same chips, same price, same calories.  That’s good.
