Product circa: 2025
These had huge potential, but they fell flat.
Perhaps the most pleasant part of the experience in the first bite, where there's an immediate smokiness that reminds me of the charred beef that you'd find in Korean barbecue. After that, the experience is mostly a combination of chile powder and what I would describe as the flavor of a dark umami-heavy Asian sauce, whether it's the kind on Korean barbecue, or even something not far from a teriyaki sauce or even a potsticker dipping sauce - slightly distinct, but also a bit bland. There's a bit of heat too. However, after eating a few more of these chips than I should, I start detecting a pungent flavor that borders on disgusting... I'm not sure what it is... maybe the citric acid combined with the other flavors? Also, if you eat too many of these, the taste will stay in your mouth for hours and hours.
