Trader Joe’s shoppers are rushing to buy brand’s new snack that ‘sounds so gross, but is actually so delicious’

A new Trader Joe’s brand snack item that “sounds so gross” is flying off the shelves this month.

Trader Joe’s shopkeeper Natasha Fischer took to social media to ask fans what they thought of the new chain Cashel blue cheese Irish chips.

On the new Potato Chips – made by an Irish supplier – one commenter insisted they would trade their ‘firstborn for a bag of them’.

The 5.5 ounce bag of Irish chips started getting a lot of attention on social media in November.

The combination of Irish potatoes and blue cheese in the chips brings what Trader Joe’s described as an “Emerald Isle elegance” to any situation that calls for a snack.

“If you’re a fan of blue cheese, these chips are a must-try,” Fischer wrote in her Instagram post description.

“If not, you might want to skip them, but trust me, blue cheese lovers can’t get enough.”

Shoppers can try the new flavor for themselves, but only if they hurry: the $2.99 ​​bag of Trader Joe’s Cashel Blue Cheese Irish Potato Chips is only available for a limited time.
