I tried these on a whim after hearing about Veggie Booty for a long time. I knew I wasn't ready for VB, but I could certainly try out a new kind of cheese puff. I previously thought that a day without Cheetos was a day wasted, so this was a big change.

These are the best things ever! They taste like real cheese and there's some variation in the intensity of the flavor - every single one doesn't taste exactly the same. They aren't as crunchy as Cheetos and don't turn your fingers orange!

After trying a couple bags purchased at the grocery store, I decided I loved them enough to invest in this 12-pack from Amazon. Okay, so maybe I went a little wild and had a bag (or two) a day until they were gone - don't judge me!

Try these out! Buy a bag at the grocery store and then get the 12-pack. You'll be very happy that you did!

I found these at my local Trader Joe's grocery store and I've been a fan ever since. Pirate's Booty makes a healthy and satisfying alternative to run-of-the-mill deep fried potato or corn chips. As a snack, they leave you with a full but not heavy feeling. The danger is that they're so good, it's easy to eat the whole bag without realizing it. I'd recommend taking a few out of the bag at a time and putting the rest out of sight. Other than that, I can't recommend them enough.

What a great name for a snack. My kids (5 and 7) love these. I find them pretty tasty too.

These are bascially cheese puffs although softer and "smoother" than your standard mass market puff (like cheetos).

These are a regular in our snack cabinet (the other being pirates cannon balls :->)

I was both horrified and delighted when this huge 2 x 1.5 x 1 feet box from Amazon came to the office for me. No wonder ordering it with Amazon Prime 2-day shipping still took 3 days (plus the weekend...)

So be warned, all, for $20 (or $15, or whatever the current price is), you will be getting a HUGE box, and if you ship it to work, your coworkers will all wonder what it is and you'll be forced to tell them, and then guilted into giving up a few bags to sate the hungry, curious masses!

Less Pirate Booty for you!!!!!!!

I absolutely love these. They are so yummy and nutritious too. They have all the tastiness of cheese popcorn without the annoying kernels and they are much healthier. My family (especially the kids) love these!

Light cheesy crunch with none of that nasty orange coloring. We love them and always get them at Trader Joe's, but amazon had them for less

This is probably te best savory snack food that I have ever eaten. Perfect for a DVD at home, or snacking while reading a book.

We ordered a case, and it arrived in perfect condition, i.e., we did not have a problem with open bags/stale contents as some previous reviewers have had. This is a better alternative to cheetos or other junk food, but I would not condsider it healthy--just a better-tasting, more natural junk food. It is satisfying and, based on the ingredients and taste, I'd rather eat Pirate's Booty than cheetos. I subsequently bought a bag of Veggie Booty and was pleasantly surprised, though its flavor is a little more unconventional than Pirate's Booty.

These are delicious. They are very light and can almost melt in your mouth. White cheddar is used so your fingers don't turn orange. The bad part is that you can easily eat the entire bag and they are NOT low calorie.

I would have given this 5 stars but I experienced the same thing as some of the other reviewers. Several packages of the Pirate's Booty had popped open and were stale. Because of this problem, I haven't reordered.

I first encountered this product at COSTCO. When they discontinued it I decided to find another source. I have diverticulosis and the doctor says I should avoid popcorn completely. This is a wonderful substitute. I also am diabetic and the product has no sugar and not too much carbohydrate either. I thought 12 bags would last about 6 months. I didn't count on my wife and son acquiring a taste for it as well. Twelve bags is only about a three month supply. While other flavors are available, I think the cheddar cheese flavor best approximates the flavor of buttered popcorn. I can now watch a movie and enjoy the old custom of munching on "popcorn". (The product is also available in much smaller bags and 60 bags at once. That is convenient for packing in lunches, but you pay more per ounce.)
