Anybody know about Calbee Snapea Crisps (light salted)? I saw them online but can't get a close-up image to see if they have a hechsher, and a google search wasn't helpful.

The hechsher is not under any Memphis hechsher, but sanctioned by the original kosher bbq contest in Memphis. I sent them an email requesting who it's under and I'll try to report back if I get a response.

Why? If they are under the auspicious of the Memphis BBQ then I think one of the requirements is they be reliably kosher. Just because it's sponsored by a conservative/egalitarian shul shouldn't mean anything. The LI BBQ contest is also held in a conservative shul but is under Kof-K and Mehadrin Kashrus-Rabbi Abraham Marmorstein, Kehal Minchas Chinuh, NYC.

I've noticed based on many trip reports that I have had the pleasure of reading that many fellow DDFers order cocktails in various lounges as well as on various flights. Can anyone advise as to the reasoning behind why it would be ok to drink these cocktails? Are there only specific ones? TIA

You just have to know what's kosher.
