Earth Balance Vegan Sour Cream & Onion Chips and Vegan Cheddar Chips

When I first saw these on the shelf at my local Plum Market, I almost screamed from excitement. It took everything I had not to rip into the bag of Vegan Sour Cream & Onion Chips right there in the store. Sour Cream & Onion chips were a favorite of mine when I was a child. So, as soon as I found these new Earth Balance Sour Cream & Onion Kettle Chips, I stopped my grocery shopping trip short, went home and immediately started chowing down. Oh man. The crunch. The delicate onion flavor. The sour creaminess. These chips were full of flavor. The entire bag was gone before I knew it.

They were even better than I remembered. I started wondering if this was just because I hadn't had this flavor in so long so I decided to test this hypothesis out. (Please don't mind me, I recently finished up the online Harvard / edX Science & Cooking class.) I gave these chips to a couple of friends who have had more recent experience eating non-vegan Sour Cream & Onion chips. They also liked these chips better.

I am not the best judge of cheese products so I can not give a very accurate review of the Vegan Cheddar Chips. I wanted to include a picture of both because, chances are, there is some person who will love the Earth Balance Vegan Cheddar flavor Chips just as much as I loved the Sour Cream & Onion ones. I am a person who never cared for cheese that much (gasp), but I did like sour cream & cheddar chips so I like to take bites of these two new Earth Balance chips together and try to recreate my lost love.

I have been searching around the Metro Detroit area for these chips, but have only found them at Plum Market. Please comment if you know a place to buy these chips, wherever you are!
