Red Hot Riplets Potato Chips
“ Missouri ’ s Own is a brand that ’ s designed to celebrate our local flavors , and no flavor says St . Louis more than Red Hot Riplets ,” said Tony Billmeyer , CMO of Show-Me Organics — a Missouri owned cannabis company that operates Missouri ’ s Own and Vivid , among other brands . “ Old Vienna ’ s Red Hot Riplets is an iconic local brand known for delivering a spicy , satisfying crunch . The Twice Baked version delivers the same great taste and texture while providing an additional kick suitable for everyone from first-timers to experienced cannabis users .”
Twice Baked Red Hot Riplets are infused with a low dose of THC , so a handful of chips contains about 10mg of THC .
Each box of Red Hot Riplets chips will contain about 20mg of THC and cost $ 14 ( MSRP ). The chips were first available at St . Louis dispensaries , including BLOC , Greenlight , Jane , NatureMed , N ’ Bliss , and Swade . Statewide distribution is now underway , with availability at select dispensaries .
Vivid ’ s expert extraction team applies the precision of modern science to optimize traditional hash-making techniques , bringing products to Missouri that are at the forefront of cannabis innovation globally .
