Bangers Heats Up the Holidays: New Hot Mamba & Hot Mamba Charged Join Caffeinated Chip Lineup Nationwide

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – November 3, 2025 – The holiday season just got a little hotter. Bangers Snacks, Inc., the San Francisco startup behind America's first caffeinated potato chips, announced today the nationwide launch of Hot Mamba and Hot Mamba Charged, the latest additions to its fast-growing energy-snack lineup.

After the success of BBQ Charged and Paradise Charged, Bangers is turning up the heat with a bold, spicy flavor that delivers on both taste and energy. Hot Mamba brings the burn; Hot Mamba Charged takes it a step further with the same caffeine kick as two cups of coffee, for those who want both fire and fuel in every crunch.

"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 launch of Hot Mamba and Hot Mamba Charged expands Bangers' existing lineup of caffeinated chips, which already includes the smoky, savory BBQ Charged and the bright, tropical Paradise Charged. Each flavor offers a distinct taste experience while delivering the functional boost that has made Bangers a standout in the snack aisle.

Priced around $2.99 per bag, Bangers Energy Chips deliver the same caffeine as energy drinks — in a crunchy, portable form — offering a functional boost for travelers, workers, and students through the holiday season.

With the continued surge in spicy and functional snacks, Hot Mamba's debut strengthens Bangers' position as a category innovator redefining how Americans get their energy: not by sipping, but by snacking.
