        <content>If you are like me, you love hot and spicy stuff, but are always disappointed by commercial potato chips that are labeled &#8220;chipotle&#8221; or &#8220;hot&#8221; or &#8220;jalapeno&#8221; or whatever, since they are not that hot. This thing is a happy exception: it is positively the hottest chips I have ever had.
It is labeled &#8220;Select 7 Kettle Style Potato Chips: fiery habanero&#8221;. Problem: the label is a rather generic, beige color; there are several different flavors, but the labels all look the same except for the flavor in a red banner about 1/3 from the top of the bag. It is also a bargain: you get 1.5 oz for 79&#162;. The entire bag is only 230 calories, and only half is from carbs, so if you are on a low carb diet, this one works.
If you like hot stuff, pick up a bag next time you are in 7-11 buying soda. I love it.

      <content>Thanks for the tip.  I will be on the lookout for these.  I too am always on the lookout for the spicier items.  I used to like the TGIF habanero "potato skins" potato chips.  These were actually pretty spicy, but that flavor was phased out of Florida about 4 years ago and I haven't seen it since.  The best regularly available spicy chip around here is Kettle Brand "Death Valley Chipotle".  It is only a little bit spicy but actually has some hot pepper flavor.  Archer Farms at Target makes a good hot and spicy kettle chip as well.</content>

      <content>I tried the 7-11 chips today and they are pretty spicy - spicier than any other locally available chip.  I wish they were available in larger bags, though.  They taste like bbq chips upfront and then the spice slowly creeps up on you.</content>

      <content>Yeah, you're right about these.  The chips don't taste hot at all - at first.  Then, ol' Capt. Casin starts scrapin' at the back of your throat.  NIce!  

Grassy-ass, jerry!  Much obliged.</content>

      <content>They were good, but nowhere as hot as I expected them to be after reading this thread.  I'll have them again.</content>
