What You Should Know

You'd find this 4 oz bag of lime corn chips in the snack aisle or tossed into a picnic, tailgate, or movie-night spread — an easy grab for casual social moments or solo snacking. The vibe is crunchy and indulgent with a nostalgic, convenient feel: salty, tangy, and made to be eaten straight from the bag. Despite simple-sounding ingredients, the product is industrially processed (fried/extruded, packaged with added oil and flavoring), which explains the uniform crunchy texture and shelf stability.
