Kettle Chips “People’s Choice IV: Fire and Spice”
Published by Joel November 2nd, 2007 in Food. Share This
Kettle Foods, the people who make Kettle Chips, has a limited-edition five pack of chips available for order as part of their “People’s Choice IV: Fire and Spice” campaign. Order the chips for $15, sample each, then cast your vote for your favorite on their site. Presumably they’ll mass produce the top-rated chip.
• Wicked Hot Sauce – Inspired by hot sauce, cayenne pepper and vinegary tang flood your taste buds with bayou burning heat.
• Mango Chili - Sweet mango highlighted with a salty, spicy blend of cayenne
and habanero chilies will have your tongue dancing the mango tango.
• Jalapeno Salsa Fresca – Fresh salsa anyone? A blend of fiery jalapeño and spicy cayenne mellowed with soothing sun dried tomato, green bell pepper and lime flavors.
• Orange Ginger Wasabi - the punch of wasabi, a little ginger and a twist of citrus blend for a spicy Asian bite.
• Death Valley Chipotle - a smoky blend of red chili, cayenne, chipotle, habanero and herbs lays the foundation for this flavor’s slow burning heat.

I thought this sounded like an interesting concept and so I plunked down my money for it. Package arrived today and I haven’t opened them yet but I’m excited. The card you see in the picture that is opened is their suggested sampling guide (basically the order they have them listed is mildest to spiciest) and they’ve got some warnings in there that these are going to be spicy. They also suggested a chip tasting party which if I were far cooler might be a fun thing to pull off. As it stands, I’ll do my best to wait until my wife gets home to sample them. I’ll update once we start tearing into them.
