Dot’s cheesy poof are tasty. Not $1+ billion, but tasty.

Paqui chips have surprisingly good flavor-to-spice but not the coffin death chip version.
Favorite chips for chips and salsa? I'm recently sold on Don Julio's Black Label - you don't even need salsa they taste so good. Juanitas seems trendy but tasty too.
Donkey chips are good if you want to ladle good salsa.
Just had these in Hawaii, SO so good.

Those have my attention.
Josefina chips have usurped Juanita’s as the chip of choice for salsa around here.Quote:

I kind of forgot about these. SO so good indeed, especially with some spray cheese on them.Quote:

If anyone is looking for a great gift idea this year, do yourself a favor and order some nuts from Hillson Nut Company. Old school nut company from the 30s. Awesome mix, perfectly salted and always fresh.

Of course not. But I thought you'd be a Hubs Nut guy.Quote:

As for Donkey chips, is that a Whole Food purchase? Never seen them in my many grocery haunts.
Ha! I gotcha.Quote:

I will say though that I’m a bit of a nut snob and Hillsons still are the best I’ve ever had.

Maybe a Midwest thing, I guess they are based in il? https://donkey-brands.com/ the closest to taqueria chips I’ve found lately. Since the borg takeover of whole paycheck they’ve started to suck so I rarely shop there.Quote:

I'm a performance artist. Keep that in mind.
Perfect balance of crispy, light and just a bit oily.Quote:

So what happens if you are born into a Hillsons family and marry a Hubs Nut girl? Do you try to convince her that your family nuts are the most delicious? Or just call the wedding off?Quote:

I'm sure the snack connoisseurs here already know this, but Josefina is a knockoff made by Frito-Lay. Having said that, Juanita's had some consistency hiccups around the time they expanded manufacturing - there are multiple threads on our local Reddit attempting to decode the packaging to identify chips from the new factory vs original factory - so maybe Josefina has pulled ahead in terms of quality. Still, it's such a blatant attempt to rip off / muscle out a family-owned business that I can't do it - Juanita's 4 lyfe, yo.
Tim's "Sasquatch Surprise" chips are back in stores. Basically a vinegary bbq chip. Quite tasty!
I think a pre-nup of some sort would take care of the stickier occasions between the families.Quote:

Southerners give nuts too, but it’s a different sort of thing. They’re usually prepared in some way (boiled peanuts being the biggest example).
Ordered as stocking stuffers for my boys.
Luckily there's room for both. My wife prefers Juanita’s and gets them if she's buying. I'll stick with Josefina as long as they keep making them.Quote:

Some Hillson’s? They will be happy.Quote:
