I first heard of TERRA chips in a marketing class at Penn State during a chapter on consumer targeting. The professor piqued my interest so much that I just had to try them for myself. Five years and many bags later, I still love your products - and I don't even like snack chips. Today I tried the Seasoned Salt Frites for the very first time - Yum! I can say there's never been a Terra Chip I didn't like!!!
Thanks!!!!
