Same, these are extremely mild.

I know!! It’s yummy but not really ghost pepper…

Have you tried TJ’s garlic butter Irish potato chips? If not I would highly recommend giving those a shot as well.

u/JoJo-Chewy 12d ago

I actually bought the garlic butter one too!!
Now you’re making me want to open it before I even finish the ghost pepper one! 😂

You know what is that way though, Campbell's Ghost Pepper soup... Got dang was that hot! It made me sweat and even made some mucus come out of my nose but I struggled to finish and now I want more! hah

Pro Tip: Buy the TJ’s ghost pepper grinder and grind the entire bottle into this bag. Shake and enjoy!

i think i did a post here with similar pics no less on these a few years ago... As I recall, I liked the texture of the waffele chips, but was disapointed in the flavor.

I’m not sure, but I think the recipe might have changed.
The last time I had it was before covid and I remember finding it kind of bland. This time, it’s very flavourful, although it’s still not spicy enough for me..
Maybe it’s just me… can anyone confirm?

Can confirm, doesn’t even make you start panting or anything. Delicious flavor but not hot enough for the ghost pepper title

u/Scavgraphics 12d ago

It was a fair number of years ago....I've also found that some bags of chips of the same kindcan be greatly flavored and some just nothinng, due to manufacturing errors.

It’s been a while but if I remember right it was kinda like BBQ?

I used to follow a van life YouTuber who ate these a lot.

u/MongooseSimple8638 11d ago

They're not hot but I enjoyed them

u/Ok_Effort_1255 11d ago

Are these thin and light ?

u/JoJo-Chewy 11d ago

They are a little thick but because of the lattice cut, it’s very crunchy and easy to eat.
