While these align with the flavor tags, they aren’t exceptionally flavorful to keep us constantly munching on them.

Team Mishry’s Findings
These 4 layer chips feature a unique shape. The different layers precisely indicate the shell of a turtle. They are remarkably light, airy, and deliver a noticeable crunch.
Flavor-wise, these were pretty average. The flavor of corn is evident in every bite. However, the lime flavor is mild and quite subtle.
Lastly, we can say that these are not so addictive that we find ourselves devouring the entire pack in one sitting.
- Crunch is prominent.
- These are unique in shape.
- Flavor of corn is bold.
