Complain
are more expensive
expensive to buy it from here
super expensive, I only buy when a deal is on
Red hot spicy chips packs in this mix box not as hot & Spicy, however, tastes good
The seasoning isn't very nice, just like spicy salt & sugar really
A bit too hard
Unfortunately these plantain crisps were stale :
Have added sugar which makes these to sweet for me. and less healthy than naturally sweet ripe plantain chips
Love

Very tasty snack
The chips are nicely crunchy without being too hard
Each piece has a good crisp bite to it
Nice and crunchy
Quality
