Thunder Force Chips

First of all, don’t call them just chips. These have Old Bay on them. That means they’re seasoned like they expect something from you. Like, ‘You gonna step up, or what?’ Salty. Spicy. A little chaotic. It tastes like the ocean got into a bar fight with a spice rack. Oh, there it is. Lime doesn’t ask permission. Lime kicks the door in and goes, ‘Hey! Wake up!’ It’s bright, it’s loud, it’s a little aggressive, and honestly? I love that for it. These chips don’t need dip. They are the personality.
