The Many New Flavors of Pirate's Booty

I first tried Pirate’s Booty years ago while on Weight Watchers.  For three points per bag and natural ingredients of corn meal, rice, canola oil and cheese, the Aged White Cheddar Pirate’s Booty seemed like a healthy alternative to Cheetos.  Unfortunately, what happens to me on Weight Watchers is that I end up eating the same foods over and over again to the point of taste exhaustion.  With only two flavors on the market at the time, Aged White Cheddar and Veggie, I quickly became bored. 

Years have gone by and on my never ending search for “junk” food that isn’t junk, I’ve happily rediscovered Pirate’s Booty and four new flavors; Barbeque, Bermuda Onion, Sea Salt and Vinegar and Carmel.  As a huge fan of Sea Salt and Vinegar chips I was the most excited about this flavor.  The vinegar flavor however was a bit too strong for my liking.  Conversely I felt the barbeque flavor was just a bit too weak. 

The Bermuda Onion was probably my favorite and very reminiscent of a Funion.  For the sweet Pirate’s Booty the Carmel flavor really hits the spot and tastes similar to Cap’n Crunch or Corn Pops.  After trying all the flavors I still enjoy the Aged White Cheddar the best but its nice to know that there are some new healthy, tasty options in the snack food isle.  You can get Pirate’s Booty in Chicago at Whole Foods or online at Pirate's Booty.

Too bad Pirate's Booty is still junk food, even without all the chemicals. There is virtually no nutritive value, and plenty of fats and sodium.
