I used to always love Que Pasa foods, so I am not sure if we got a bad batch or what. We have been hesitant to buy again. I don't recall the chips arriving damaged, they were in good condition and the bag was "fat with air in it". They seemed fresh, but they just tasted bland to us - a bit like slightly flavored cardboard. Like I said, maybe we got a bad or stale batch? I used to eat these all the time before years ago so I don't know?
