Eating something so disturbing and losing my memory of it has <b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2005\/01\/11\/carb-well-golden-crunch-cereal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">happened before<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>The Kettle Chips Death Valley Chipotle contains the Five Peppers of the Hotpocalypse: chili, chipotle, cayenne, habanero, and jalapeno.  Thanks to those spices, each chip looks like it&#8217;s burnt rather than golden brown and they also look like scabs.  The heat from the Five Peppers of the Hotpocalypse does not instantly hit you, like walking out of a Las Vegas casino on a hot summer day after 24 hours straight of debauchery, instead it&#8217;s a slow burn that builds up to a medium heat that sticks with you for a while.<\/p>\n<p>While it may contain a spectrum of hot spices, the chipotle is the pepper that stands out the most and also provides a nice smoky flavor, which fortunately isn&#8217;t overwhelmed by the heat of the other peppers.  Its smokiness combined with its spiciness makes for one delicious chip, although its heat will probably agitate some peoples&#8217; palates.  I&#8217;m not surprised I enjoyed them because I like spicy and I also believe Kettle Chips makes some of the best tasting potato chips on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>So if you like spicy, I&#8217;d definitely recommend the crunchy Kettle Chips Death Valley Chipotle potato chips.  But if you don&#8217;t like spicy, I&#8217;d definitely recommend staying away from these chips because it really will feel like someone is pouring liquid chlamydia into your mouth.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 ounce &#8211; 150 calories, 9 grams of fat, 1 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 1 gram of polyunsaturated fat, 7 grams of monounsaturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 170 milligrams of sodium, 410 milligrams of potassium, 16 grams of carbs, 2 grams of fiber, 0 grams of sugar, 2 grams of protein, 2% Vitamin A, 20% Vitamin C, and 4% Iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Kettle Chips Death Valley Chipotle Potato Chips<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $3.29<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  5 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Foodland<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Nice smoky, spicy flavor.
