The BEST out there
By Uneze on Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2024
Been doing Keto for 6 years and severely miss Kettle Salt & Vinegar Chips. No carbs pretty much means no snacks, so food is way more function that fun now but the benefits, both mental and physical are worth it a million times over. As if this wasn't enough food restriction I'm also allergic to dairy and wheat. And cats, which i don't eat anyways. Pork Rinds are my only lifeline for any kind of snack food and S&V has always been one of my most intense cravings. The trick has been finding great S&V pork rinds. Mac's, for some reason I haven't figured, out make me feel incredibly sick. This is a bummer because the price is reasonable and they do taste pretty goos. EPIC, from whole foods, are consistently great but are INSANELY overpriced. 2.5oz for $5? that's robbery. I've been battling with HEB brand (a Texas Grocery chain) because they are Hit or Miss. They hit, like really amazing in every way, only about .05% of the time. I swear the 'cooks' dump in the salt and vinegar ingredients once every 2000 bags and it pretty much gets distributed on about 3 of them. It's like playing they lottery. On the rare occasion when I get a good bag it's like finding the golden ticket at Charlie's Chocolate factory. And they are priced low at less than $2 for a 5oz bag which is perfect. But again. they are usually terrible... Most brands of pork rinds don't even bother with this flavor. not sure why but finding companies that do has been difficult and there are a few other brands i've never tried because they are manufactured with milk, always a huge bummer. This Pork King (awesome word play on the S&L skit) brand is by far the best of all of them. These things are so good they are dangerous. The addictiveness vs the price is what makes them so. Luckily, after ordering a bag off this site for $11 i found them locally here in Austin at Central Market for $7. the price, though much better than that of WF's, is a still bit steep for me. In a perfect world a bag at this price would last 3-4 days but these are so awesome that once i open a bag I pretty much demolish the whole thing or stop short of the end because the intense flavoring actually makes my mouth hurt. It's a 'hurts so good' kinda thing. and the crumbles at the end will pucker your face into the density of a neutron star. Again, it's a great sort of painfullness. Long story short i LOVE THESE MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE IN MY LIFE but I have to temper myself because of the mildly steep price. if they were ever dropped by even a couple dollars I'd probably spend a 1/4 of my income on them.

Great, Good, Or Mediocre - Depends On The Flavor
By OrganicJKW on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2022
I ordered this variety 10-pack so I could taste all of the flavors and just order my favorites going forward. Overall, the pork rinds have a fantastic texture: very light and airy, with a couple pieces of extra crunch in each bag. They did not turn gummy or get stuck to my teeth like a number of brands do. Flavor-wise, it was very hit or miss for me with only two flavors being something I'd intentionally reorder. I did send this 10-pack to my mom and she said the flavors she tried were way too salty. I'm not a fan of salt, but only the Salt and Vinegar and Dill Pickle flavors felt overly "salty" to me (they hit on the tongue like salt, but I think the Dill occurred that way for me due to the flavoring and not due to actual salt). Dill Pickle and Salt and Vinegar were my two least favorites. I couldn't eat more than just a few of them and tossed the bags out. The Stupid Hot has a great heat that definitely builds. If you're a massive heat fan, it probably won't be nearly enough for you. For most folks, these may be too spicy. My favorites were the Nacho and White Cheddar versions. They stayed flavorful through the full bag and they're the only two where I wish I had more once the bags were finished. The Pepperoni didn't strike me as tasting like a pepperoni pizza, but they were fine. If you like buttered popcorn, the first few Salted Butter pieces you eat will be delicious. I found the flavor kind of disappeared about halfway through the bag. Overall, the flavor's on the mild side, but still pretty good. Smoky Jalapeno was pretty good, but it seemed like the overall flavor was missing on maybe half of the bag. For the pieces that had the flavoring, they were good enough for me to reorder. Neither of the Onion and Sour Cream or the Ranch versions tasted like those flavors. If I didn't know the flavor on the bag, I would have had a difficult time guessing what they were supposed to be. They're mildly flavored and inoffensive, but I probably would not reorder them.
