Are They Actually Super Hot?

Many people who've tried them say the seafood flavor is actually stronger than the heat.

If you're used to Louisiana hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, or spicy boiled crawfish, you'll probably find these chips to have a mild-to-medium kick rather than an extreme burn according to online reviews.
