Flavor Mashup Chips

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Do The Right Thing Snacks, Rap Snacks and Snoop Dogg Launched Kettle Chips

— March 14, 2026 — Pop Culture
In collaboration with Miami-based snack brand Rap Snacks and its sister company, Do The Right Thing Snacks, Snoop Dogg launched a range of healthier, Costco-exclusive kettle-cooked chips made with real vegetables and cooked in 100% avocado oil.

Although snackers can appreciate that the chips are free from gluten, GMO ingredients, artificial colors, trans fat, and added sugars, what they'll likely be drawn to first are fun mashup flavors like Maple BBQ or Sour Cream, Cheddar + Ranch. Additionally, All In takes a more-is-more approach to flavor, combining salt and vinegar, cheddar, BBQ, onion, garlic and more.

Do The Right Thing Snacks launched earlier this year, with bags that feature scannable QR codes that link to content like artist interviews and wellness tips.
