Kashi Hummus Crisps - Yay or Nay?

BzzAgent asked me to try Kashi's new Hummus Crisps. I was intrigued.

I loved the Kashi Hummus Crisps. Truly. I would be buying them if I could find them. They are fantastic. I thought that the Sea Salt & Olive Oil is great. These are good, healthy snacks, they taste great, and go with a variety of dips. I like to use healthier dips like Tzatziki sauce or a nice Fage Yogurt dip, in order to keep things healthy.

The protein in the Kashi Hummus Crisps is a huge positive to me. As someone who lost weight with weight-loss surgery 10 years ago, I strive to eat healthy and to incorporate protein into my diet in as many ways as possible. I have talked about this online with friends, and have told friends near and far that the Kashi Hummus Crisps are great and a good food for those of us who have had weight loss surgery. So, here's my dilemma: where the heck do I find them? I have asked every supermarket in my area (ShopRite, Stop & Shop, Pathmark, Whole Foods) to carry them and they can't get them from their distributors. I have used the product locator and have not come up with a single place that has them. I tried 60 miles away in each direction, since I travel down to south Jersey to visit relatives and up to Westchester to visit friends. NOTHING! I can't find them anywhere. I have a stack of coupons to hand out that I can't give away because no one can find these Hummus Crisps. I am very disappointed that this campaign was launched before the product distribution went national. My Stop & Shop has half an aisle devoted to Kashi products, but they don't have these, and from the looks of things, they won't any time soon. It's quite sad.

I would love to blog about these and try the other varieties, but without having the product (and I am not ordering from Amazon or ebay at inflated prices) I won't be able to do it. Pros: Great nutritional snack, guilt-free eating, adds to your protein count. Cons: Can't find them in the northeast! New York, NJ, PA - no.
