I first discovered Kettle Chips with sea salt and vinegar while shopping at Trader Joe's with my daughter Mindy. I couldn't believe how tasty they were; the best chip I had ever eaten. It was love at first bite, and I've been munching them ever since.

Other things in their favor: they're thicker than other chips, so don't crumble as I'm devouring them; they're delightfully crunchy; and the salt-and-vinegar combination is heavenly. I tried to create an original line to describe this palate-pleasing taste treat, but couldn't beat what the manufacturer said: tongue-puckering tang and crunch. Isn't that poetic?

As for health values, since Kettle Chips are not peeled during preparation, I'm getting more nutrition, such as potassium and vitamin C. My mother would approve of that, and the fact that they're hand-cooked in small batches.

I often enjoy Kettle Chips as an afternoon snack with my favorite soda or iced tea, but they're also delicious with a tuna sandwich or a hot dog for lunch. Well, actually Kettle Chips go perfect with everything ... except "sweets," of course.

My only problem is that they're so delicious I can't stop eating them. That's the reason I chose these smaller packets; I figured 24 could last me almost a month, if I was a good girl, kept my appetite under control--and hid them from the kids! For the sake of fewer calories, I try hard and have succeeded so far. It isn't easy, but ...

Have I told you how much I love them?

These potato chips are excellent.There are no trans fats.

They taste absolutely delicious.Whenever I am in the mood for potatoe chips, Kettles is the brand I buy.

A great product that anyone should enjoy and I highly recommend them!

Enjoy!

You don't need salt to hide the taste of potato chips. And these chips prove it. The taste of the potato comes through, instead of being masked. OK, so they're still a snack food, but no salt and no trans-fats mean these are about the healthiest potato chips you can get. And if you're on a low-salt diet (like I am), having these available means I can eat chips, and Kettle are just the best.

The chips were great...for the first few bags. However, after the first bag or two, I noticed that the remaining bags were damaged. There were holes in each bag and black, sticky stains on the outside. Other reviewers who bought around the same time that I did are now claiming that they found rodent holes in their bags of chips.

The chips came in a sealed Kettle box, so it's hard to say who screwed up. But someone somewhere screwed up. These chips were a health hazard before the holes in the bag. Now? It's like a game of roulette.

It feels strange to review chips, but I am compelled because these are my absolute favorite chips. Kettle has lots of flavors but I always go back to these regular lightly salted.

They are thicker and sometimes greasy at the bottom of the bag, plus they often looked burned. They are not actually burned. It has something to do with how much sugar is in the potato that makes it dark. I love to open a bag and find some browned chips.

Lays and Wise have their place but I've become a chip snob thanks to Kettle.

Like Edy's or Breyer's ice cream, some products are worth the money. These are the best of the best.

I have tried a lot of S&V chips and these are the best! Real sea salt and REAL vinegar! Mouth-watering flavor & crispiness. Not for the faint of heart - the flavor is very authentic! :)

Kettle brand chips are very crunchy. I would say regular plain old Lays potato chips are at the "soft" end of the "soft/crunchy" spectrum. Ruffles brand potato chips used to be considered the crunchiest, but Kettle brand chips are far more crunchy. If you have a tender mouth or bad teeth (dentures) you might want to steer clear of Kettle brand. Otherwise, you'll love these chips. The Sea Salt & Vinegar chips are super TANGY. I enjoy taking swigs of vinegar bottles from time to time. I am dissapointed with all other Salt & Vinegar chips either because the chips are too soft and/or the vinegar taste whimpy and/or chemically. Rest assured Kettle Sea Salt & Vinegar has a gourmet flavor. The vinegar flavor has no chemical flavor and could NEVER be called whimpy!

These Backyard BBQ Kettle Chips were a great deal with the promo code. It was nice to have a larger size bag. Some Kettle Chips in the grocery store are only about 5 ounces and we polish them off in one family lunch! They arrived fresh and were not in crumbles as some other chips from Amazon Grocery have been. Great flavor and All Natural!

I have tried Herrs, UTZ, wise, pringles, lays etc....but Kettle tasted the best. The quantity of salt used is the optimum which is required.

Although they say serving size 1 ounce, you will finish the whole packet in no time. Total calories is 300 for 2 ounce bag. This is slightly on the higher side. But still it is ok, as they have not compromised on the taste.

Only issue was that all packets have some burnt chips, which taste bad. Kettle should take care when packing to ensure no burnt chips are there.

Thanks to Amazon to get 24 bags for just 12 bucks with free shipping using their coupon.

I have loved Kettle Brand Sea Salt and Vinegar chips since the first time i tried them. The fact that i was able to find them on-line for such a great price, was wonderful. I would definitely make the purchase again. THey are a quick and simple snack for lunch and it goes great with my cold sandwich.
