I get a lot of odd pitches in my inbox, but “9V battery-flavored corn chips” still stopped me in my tracks. It’s been a while since I last licked a battery, so in the name of science I bought my own. Not what I usually look for in tortilla chips. I love salt and vinegar chips, and I’ve had packs that make me wince much more than these. The chips themselves are a little thinner than I like — I prefer a more substantial crunch from tortilla chips — but aren’t bad at all.
