Those shabang chips are 🔥🔥. They're all the chip flavors in one. And to buy them "OUT HERE" they can be expensive. If you find Lil Baby "ALL IN" rap snacks they taste the same.

Ive tried these. They are great to eat with cheese. Any sliced cheese

I get these as free samples when I attend law enforcement conferences. The prison commissary vendors hand them out along with other prison snacks. I can confirm they are quite tasty.

If you'd like an idea of what these chips taste like without having to catch a charge, keep an eye out for Ruffles All Dressed (or just any all dressed chip if you're Canadian). It's the same concept but not quite.

The Whole Shabang is definitely a bucket list snack, but $1/oz as offered on their website is slightly outside my chip budget.

a 'soup' is currency in jail. aka a packet of ramen. nissin chili ramen saved my life, because it's vegetarian and was one of the only things i could eat while in jail. it's hard to find on the outside, but i buy it when it see it.

Apparently Zapps voodoo chips are similar if you can't find the whole shebang easily.

Someone else compared them to All Dressed flavor Ruffles, which I love. I just tried these Zapps chips a few days ago and they’re salt and vinegar, which I really don’t like. Also kind of barbecue-y but still.

This makes me really wonder what these chips actually taste like

I used to buy those off commissary, I traded them pretty often, I always liked the stuff the trustees in the kitchen stole better, peppers, cheese, hell I remember cooking up full meals in there, regardless I also traded a locker full of them for a chess set and a used mp3 player - I'm not exactly a social person so I just sat and played chess

Interestingly, we were recently asked to donate to a program where prisoners would receive snack boxes at Christmas, and it was limited to things like small bags of chips and other similar snacks. Now I wonder if the guys are like : "these suck, I want the Shabang chips"

I bought 12 bags of these once, because I'm a potato chip aficionado and had heard such good things about them, and they only sold them in bulk.

Unfortunately, I was not impressed. C-

>In 2012, Keefe acknowledged publicly that they had a major hit on their hands, but wouldn't offer The Whole Shabang for sale to the general public.

Utilizing the Eric Cartman "You Can't Come" technique, I see.

I'm you.

Bought some (a case) for the same curiosity and found them less than appealing. I ended up giving them to my niece and her girlfriend, both of who found them to be delicious. ¯\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)_/¯

Imagine being able to donate to any charity or cause or problem and you donate to prisoners.

Maybe I’m missing something here but like isn’t pretty much any cause better than this?

So are the Shebang chips just loaded with 5 times the normal seasoning and a ton of MSG? I've had good chips, the Kettle brand is probably about the best I've tasted, but I'm not sure how a brand can be on a completely different level.

I took a look at Amazon and a reviewer describes them as "ketchup with a decent amount of umami". Sounds a lot like ketchup chips I picked up at Tractor Supply a few years ago... they were good but the tart taste got to be too much and I couldn't finish the bag.

Gotcha but if I was weighting where to donate money amongst all the people, places, and things in the world I’m pretty sure prisoners would probably not be in the top half of the list.

They sell them on Amazon but at a crazy mark up. They also sell pickled clams or whatever that shit was

Do you maybe might kinda think there would possibly be a better group of people to help? You know like orphans or battered women or maybe hospital patients or the elderly? I don’t know I’m just like spit ballin over here or thinking out loud but yeah hmm.

I genuinely didn't lol (was going off movies/songs, but apparently it's either based on brief googling I did just now. TIL). What point would you be attempting to make anyway, if I had known?

Ooh trying Shabang chips has been on my to-do list for awhile after I heard about them one day and read some funny Amazon reviews, but I didn’t want to shell out $15 a bag or commit a felony. However you’re saying Lil Baby flavor Rap Snacks are the same, which Sam’s Clubs is selling, along with the Nicki Minaj flavor, so why the fuck not, now I have $30 in chips coming my way, but I’m getting twice as much value wise, plus variety, so yeah, thanks for the info lol.
