better than the original but still just as bad--full of odd peices of bark and burnt seeds that should have been removed---like the flavoring but like i said to much other junk--who likes pulling bark out of their seeds before you can even eat the-not to mention if you accidently get a peice in your mouth---gross!! i stand by Frito Lay--their ranch is my favorite--but willing to try others if anyone has a suggestion feel free to let me know. :)
