Bangers Expands Caffeinated Chip Range With Hot Mamba Launch
Bangers Snacks, Inc., the San Francisco-based startup known for introducing America’s first caffeinated potato chips, has announced the nationwide launch of Hot Mamba and Hot Mamba Charged, two new spicy additions to its growing energy-snack lineup.
Following the success of its BBQ Charged and Paradise Charged varieties, the company is “turning up the heat” with a bold flavor designed to deliver both “taste and energy.” Hot Mamba offers a spicy kick, while Hot Mamba Charged contains the same caffeine content as two cups of coffee.
“Bangers isn’t just launching another flavor — we’re pushing forward into the battlefield,” said Phillip Tran, CEO and Founder of Bangers Snacks. “The big spicy chip brands have owned this space for years, but we’re coming in toe-to-toe with something entirely new. Hot Mamba brings real heat and real function, not just hype.”
The new products expand Bangers’ range of functional chips that merge the flavor appeal of traditional snacks with the energy-boosting effects of caffeinated products. The brand’s portfolio currently includes BBQ Charged and Paradise Charged, both designed to offer distinct flavor experiences and a caffeine lift comparable to popular energy beverages.
Priced at around USD 2.99 per bag, Bangers’ chips aim to offer a “portable energy solution” for travelers, workers, and students seeking an alternative to energy drinks during the busy holiday season.
With demand for spicy and functional snacks continuing to rise across the U.S., the company says the Hot Mamba line reinforces its position as a category innovator “redefining how Americans get their energy — not by sipping, but by snacking.”
