What You Should Know

A thin, crispy cheddar-sour cream chip you’d grab from the snack aisle for movie nights, road trips, or to toss into a party bowl — often found on sale near other premium chip varieties. It feels indulgent and a bit nostalgic (classic chip-and-dip vibes) while delivering a light, crunchy texture. The ingredient list (seasoning powders, natural flavors, emulsifiers like sodium phosphate and whey) and its packaged, seasoned form point to industrial processing typical of ultra-processed snacks.
