I am just seeing if I am alone on saying that these things are disgusting. A bunch of my friends at the gym love them and after looking at the nutrient info, they aren't soo bad for you.
So who is with me on hating these?

    They aren't? I would only imagine that these would have to be absolutely horrific for you.

    That said ... I quite like 'em. I've not had them for a year, but when I was a kid I'd eat them frequently. The last bag I bought I brought home and suggested to my then-girlfriend to try them. She didn't realize what they were and after she'd eaten one I said "Oh, it's pig skin." Which I thought was funny. She didn't care much either way, sigh.

    I actually really like them, but don't eat them much any more due to the totally pointless caloric intake with absolutley no health benefits. So alas, If I want to spurge in a treat, I go for dark chocolate covered almonds. Ahh the sacrifices we make ;-).

    I will weigh in on 'ew' with you. Other than 'potato' idk if I can knowingly eat something with "skins" in the title (I know its irrational but hey, its there)

    Love them, hardly ever eat them, mainly because once I start I can't stop til they are gone.

    Always thought they looked nasty, as I'd pass by them in the store. Then... I married a gal from Mexico and learned to love them. Cook them up in a tasty chile sauce, and they are amazing. Chicharrones, baby.
