I think they are the real deal Pork Rinds. Not the type in potato chip type bags.
There's a Mexican Mart near us where we occasionally buy GIANT steak burritos (they have to weigh in at 1 pound and a half), and they sell the stuff there. I tried it once. Not really fond of it, but bteer than the stuff in the bags. All it is is skin, fried.
