I remember reading the little stories on the back when I was a kid.

First time I encountered the term "mesquite" too.

Had some of these the other day and they wernt anywhere as near as bad as i thought they were going to be. I dont really buy or eat crisps with any regularity but next time i do it'll probably be another bag of these.
