QUE PASA
Made with organic corn, these chips are thin and crispy, but some tasters found them to be “bland” and “very yellow.”

MY NANAS
“Thin like at restaurants” was one comment from the panel. Others said they had a “cardboard taste” and little corn flavor.

GARDEN OF EATIN’
“Corny” and “very crunchy,” these organic chips were judged to be “whole-grainy”—maybe too grainy for some.

O ORGANICS
Another organic option, these chips had “perfect triangles,” but many said they tasted stale or had a funny aftertaste.

MISSION
“Good for scooping salsa,” Mission’s chips were “crunchy” and “corny.” Tasters couldn’t agree on whether they were bland or too salty.

TOSTITOS
The saltiest of the bunch, these offered a “great crunch factor,” but participants did not like their “processed” look.
