\nWe’re stepping a little off culture this week with the Korean based Orion’s O!Karto. First off, isn’t O!Karto the best name? I can’t decide if it’s O [the exclamation] Karto [some sort of maybe potato sounding word] or if this is a word in a language that uses clicks as regular sounds, represented here by the exclamation point. O [glottal stop click] Karto. Either seems to fit and it really doesn’t matter why, we picked them up anyhow. O!Karto!<\/p>\n

We initially picked these up because of the name and since they were only a dollar we picked up two; one for munching and one for reviewing. I tell you, the package for reviewing very nearly didn’t make it because these fellas are tasty! They are also neatly tubular in a squared off sort of way and awfully reminiscent of Pringles in their makeup. They have that same processed potato slurry type feel to them but are quite a bit lighter and airier than Pringles. Think of them as a hybrid Pringles Funyon cross. Also, how cool is it that they are shaped in square tubes? One could, I suppose, suck up dip through their straw like shape if one was inclined to. I haven’t tried that yet but I still have half a bag left and the night is young.<\/p>\n

As for the chili chili, they have that covered too. One O!Karto tube is tangy with a good chili pepper bite to it. Two O!Karto (O!Kartos? O!Kartoes? I have no idea what the plural is) are tangy with an exponentially bitey chili taste. After a while and several many chips the burn lingers chili awesome in your mouth. Mmmm! And remember…<\/p>\n

\nWe’re not talking any potatoes, we’re talking high quality<\/i> potatoes.<\/p>\n

As My Favorite Guinea Pig says, “They are tubular Pringles, what’s NOT to like about them?” The only thing I can think of is that I am rapidly running out of chips in my reviewing bag. Om nom nom!<\/p>\n
