I prefer the taste of low salt Wheat Thins, and, back when they made them, low salt Cheez-Its, to the original kinds. > > However however, that is not to say I can't tell the difference between "too salty" and "too salty for my tastes." These Cheez Doodles were the saltiest salty snack food I remember eating in my life.

It was so salty, I had to drink a whole 16 oz cup of water to get it down, and then the taste lingered in my mouth so much I had to down a cup of strong hot chocolate, and then it was STILL lingering in my mouth. > > Blech.
Indeed. Wise 'snacks' are too salty, too crumbly, and absolutely disgusting.
I am a fan of Salt and Vinegar potato chips. When I saw Wise Salt and Vinegar chips, I rejoiced. "Salt and Vinegar!" I said. "And I haven't tried this brand yet!" Yet when I actually tasted them, I realized my mistake. Maybe I'm jaded towards higher-quality food, but there was not, as far as I could tell, a hint of vinegar taste in them! Apparently the only distinction between Wise Original potato chips and Wise Salt and Vinegar potato chips is that the Salt and Vinegar flavor has more salt.
Wise food is certainly Original.
