Brakeout is a Thai banana chip brand — thin, extra-crispy chips made from premium green Homthong bananas, seasoned with bold, sauce-inspired flavors. The name nods to Kluay Brake Taek, Thailand's famously addictive banana chips whose name means "your brakes just gave out." The launch flavor is Sriracha Mayo: savory, tangy, and garlicky, layered with umami and a gentle spicy kick. Each 57g bag has 4g of fiber and is gluten-free, Non-GMO, and vegetarian-friendly. One bite, no brakes. Ding-go ships it across the US.
What is Brakeout?
Brakeout makes Thai-style banana chips built for snackability. It starts with premium Thai Homthong bananas, harvested green and sliced extra thin so they fry up light and crispy rather than dense or hard. Then they're seasoned with flavors inspired by the sauces the founders grew up loving. The result is a chip that leans savory and craveable rather than the plain-sweet banana chips most people know. The brand's whole pitch is in the name and tagline — "your brakes just gave out," "one bite, no brakes" — a snack designed to be hard to stop eating.
What makes Homthong banana chips different?
Most banana chips are sweet, thick, and a little waxy. Brakeout goes the other way: green Homthong bananas, sliced extra thin for a light, glassy crunch, then seasoned savory rather than sugared. Homthong (a premium Thai "golden" banana variety) fries into a cleaner, crispier chip, and the sauce-inspired seasoning turns it from a sweet snack into a salty-tangy one. Each bag also carries 4g of fiber and is gluten-free, Non-GMO, and vegetarian-friendly — a snack you can feel good grabbing.
The Brakeout lineup
| Product | Flavor | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Banana Chips — Sriracha Mayo (57g) | Savory, tangy, garlicky, umami with a gentle spicy kick | 4g fiber, gluten-free, Non-GMO, vegetarian-friendly |
The launch flavor is Sriracha Mayo — the savory-tangy-garlicky combination that defines the brand's "can't-stop" pitch. The 57g bag is single-serve-ish and easy to share.
How to enjoy them
Eat them straight from the bag as a savory snack, or use them the way you'd use a chip: crumble over rice bowls or noodles for crunch, pair with a cold drink, or set a few bags out for a snack table. The Sriracha Mayo flavor pairs especially well with beer or a sparkling drink, and the savory-tangy profile makes it a change of pace from sweet snacks.
