You might be familiar with Ka-Pop Popped Chips from Shark Tank, where superhero CEO Dustin Finkel fought for a deal. The Sharks enjoyed every bite, but he didn’t reel in any investors. Nevertheless, Ka-Pop is continuing to triumph over unhealthy evils with their nutritious, top allergen-free, ancient grain snacks. In fact, since we first shared this brand early last year, they’ve expanded their line up of flavors. They now bake seven “chip” flavors, including their classic Dairy-Free Cheddar and newcomers Dairy-Free Sour Cream & Onion and BBQ.
Ka-Pop Chips Pack a Vegan Flavor Punch in Seven Mighty Flavors
These “chips” are a lot like mini rice cakes, but they’re made with popped whole grain sorghum, which has a heartier bite. They’re generously coated in seasonings for unmistakable flavor. Each variety is vegan-friendly (including the cheddar!) and gluten-free.

Not yummy
I tried a serving of the sour cream and onion, and they tasted of burnt onion, and have left an acrid taste in my mouth.
I was rather excited to try this product, but unfortunately it has only disappointed.
