    Oh, I wish I could find salt and vinegar pork rinds. My store only has plain ones.

    I tried the Carolina gold nuggets and maybe I got a bad batch, but they never popped in the microwave- had to use the oven and even then, some didn't "pop"

    I bought these too. After reading reviews on Amazon, I skipped microwaving them. I bake them at 400 degrees for five minutes. Perfect every time except a couple of times early on when I rushed and skimped on the preheating time.

    Awesome thread. I have not tried any in a long time. I do the same with almonds and pepper jack cheese crisps. Whispers is the brand I get a WalMart from time to time.

    I just found these on Amazon in Japan, and it looks like they are pork rinds that need to be deep fried -- do they resemble the microwave type sold in the US? Wondering if I can try that...

    I like them crumbled on a salad. Nice substitute for croutons.
