Munchos are a potato chip snack food manufactured from dehydrated potatoes by Frito-Lay.[1]
Munchos are somewhat similar to Lay's Stax and Pringles, which are also made from dried potatoes. Some reviews say that the chip differs in its "light and airy taste", and has more of a salty flavor than its more popular associate Lay's.[2] Munchos are also kosher.[3]
History
Although originally marketed as being otherwise, the current incarnations of Munchos are actually thinner than most potato chips, to the point of being slightly transparent and containing air pockets. When first introduced, they were positioned as "a potato snack, thicker than potato chips."
