Hula's Shrimp and Garlic Maui Chips: Another flavor of Hula's potato chips, Japanese kettle-style potato chips that stand out for their Western-looking packaging and portion sizes (typically in Japan, the potato chips come in smaller 1-2 serving packs).

Kettle Real Sliced Potatoes hickory honey bbq potato chips: Why brands put "real" in their product names is beyond me - what's unreal about the original product line? Nonetheless, these chips seem to be cut thicker than normal, with a ring around them showing the skin of the potato. Good crunch. BBQ flavor is not distinctive but not bad either. 3.0/5.0
