Any flavor that the Kettle Chip company from Salem, Oregon cooks up. They are a small independent company that became successful by refusing to copy the compition and struck out to simply make a better chip! I refuse to buy any of the products Frito-Lay puts out simply because their "guerilla warfare" method of doing business put one of my previous employers out of business...we were too nice, in fact, we were so nice I am still in contact with many of my ex-coworkers and consider them my best friends even though Blue Bell Snacks went out of business more than 10 years ago!

I really have to do something abot that!
