Not often do I promote a product. I always take note that my opinion is hardly ever what others think, so I refrain from handing out free publicity to any certain item being sold; retail. Tastes are not always what others would like. But...
Several weeks ago, while going through the grocery store aisles, I happened to catch a glimpse of a display case at the end/or beginning of one lane that said "Made in Texas". Well, naturally, being a Texan [I wasn't born here, but got here as quickly as I could], I had to stop and take notice. The display case was filled with small snack-sized bags of "Poppers"...with the name large in print and quite prideful...Texas "FIRECRACKERS". There were two flavors...original and Chipotle Lime. I reached for one bag of the 'original recipe'....got home and opened them to snack on while putting the groceries away. They're shaped just like oyster/soup crackers...a great size for snackin'.

says Anni: "Oh Bud, you should try these crackers. They're darned good!!"Bud grabs just one from the bag and comments they ARE good.
Munchin' away on another handful...
Anni comments: "I think they'll become my newest addiction."

There's a little kick to them. A bit spicy and tasty like the spirit of Texas!! After the initial awakening of the zest and zip, you won't be able to just eat one. [Unless you don't like fiery foods]
Well, I'll tellya right now, they ARE addictive, goes well with soups, chili, beer and margaritas. I'm hooked. And I just KNOW since I love 'em so, they're probably not good for me. Anything I like [processed snack foods] are quite unhealthy I'm sure. But, if there has to be one vice I couldn't give up so easily, these are it. It's quoted as this being said about them for over a century: "They’re kinda' hot and darn good, can I have another?"
And they're now sold in a lot of grocery retailers and convenience stores throughout Texas. But, the reason I'm posting about these delicious devils...anyone can now buy them online and have them shipped to their homes.

Also worth reading if you're interested: The recipe began with a Cherokee Indian, during the days of Sam Houston.
Oh....and by the way, I found this nutrition info online:

[the sodium content is a bit high....but could be worse I guess...just consume plenty of fluids to wash out the salt from you system...and you're good to go] -pun intended!!!
