Santitas are good chips. They are crisp and light but not weak. They have the taste of real corn fried just right. They do not need much. A little salt a little oil and they are ready. They are the kind of chips you can eat on their own or with anything. They are not too thick and they are not too thin. They hold together when you dip them. They do not break in the guacamole or the salsa. They are made the way chips should be made.
The people know this. That is why they buy them. They do not need fancy bags or wild flavors. They do not need dusted cheese or extra spice. They are simple and true. You open the bag and you know what you are getting. They taste the way they should taste. They have the right kind of crunch. The right kind of feel in your hand. The right kind of snap when you bite into them.
You see them everywhere. They are in the stores and the markets. They are on tables at parties. They are at cookouts and bars and in kitchens where people sit together and talk. They are never out of place. They do not try to be anything but what they are. That is what makes them good.
Some chips try too hard. They pile on flavors that are too strong. They make themselves thick and heavy. They lose the lightness that makes a chip something you want to keep eating. Santitas do not do that. They are made the right way. You take one and then another. You eat them with cold beer and warm nights. You eat them with friends. You eat them alone. You eat them and you do not think too much about it because they are good and that is enough.
The best things do not have to try too hard. They do not have to shout. They do not have to be the biggest or the boldest. They only have to be what they are and be good at it. That is Santitas. They are not just a chip. They are the right chip. The one that does not fail you. The one that does what it is supposed to do. That is why people love them. That is why they will always love them.
