So on the strength of your review, I was determined to find those Pastis chips; I picked them up yesterday, at Good Cheese in Chinatown East (Gerrard, north side, east of Broadview).
They are certainly interesting!
I got them a tiny bit cheaper than you, depending on if you were counting tax.
$5.75 a bag + tax.
At that price point, I don't know that I would regularly go out of my way for these, but as a once a year change of pace, or shock the company, they would be worth going back too.
Taste is definitively black licorice, but not as in your face as I might have thought.
You and @Towered will wish to know that they have 30 varieties of Bret's chips.

I have tried quite a few of those, but not all of them. I’ll have to stop in.
I was at a convenience store at broadview and Wolfrey (one stop south of the station) to buy my son a popsicle, and noticed small bags of some very interesting chips. A roasted garlic oyster one, and a cumin grilled lamb one. I have to try both, but couldn’t buy them at the time because my son was being whiny about wanting chips as well as a popsicle.
I probably could have taught him a lesson by buying him the oyster ones…

Anyone try these? mightybeans.ca
Killer low carb, high fibre, high protein crunchy snack. I had no idea what the hell "edamame" is... but now im hooked lmfao.
They're sold out of the variety pack, so I'd recommend waiting for a restock so you can try all the flavours.
But damn... guess beans aren't that bad after all.

I checked out their website and was very impressed with the tinned fish selection. Have you tried any of them? We've rented a cottage next week, so looking for some fun and interesting snacking/sandwich options to buy and pack. Things like this:
Smoked Octopus
Smokey, briny and succulent (pun definitely intended), Wildfish Cannery's smoked octopus is a special treat. It’s also notably been named by Monterey Bay Seafood Watch as a ‘Best Choice’ sustainable species. This octopus is sourced sustainably in the Bering Sea by Dustan Dickerson on the F/V...

No. It was my first time there, and I was at the beginning of a 2 hour walk, so I wasn't really shopping except for the chips. Though I did browse a bit.
I'm not normally a tinned fish person, so that also wasn't something I was paying huge attention to.
Smoked Ocotpus does sound intriguing though.
I must admit, I laughed at this:
This, (below) is overpriced if you know how to do it........but would be good for someone who has money and likes to impress guests, but doesn't want to science their own food:
PS, if you want to know how to make these, go here:

I've brought something like this back from France before. But it doesn't cost $35 there

Not all 30, but definitely all the French flavours. Ugh. Disgusting.

A lot of the french flavours are quite good! The Jura Cheese one was the first I ever tried, and it's really good. I have to go get the Bleu d'Auvergne one.

Of course, @Towered finds vinegar too adventurous............I suspect Blue Cheese is out of the question.

I'm plenty adventurous when it comes to strange snack flavours, it's just that I absolutely hate, hate, HATE cheese in all its forms (sole exception being mozzarella because it has no taste) as well as vinegar. I have semi-violent reactions to cheese...and given that the French put that shit on or in everything, French food is to be avoided like the plague.

The funny thing is that salt and vinegar chips are pretty much my favourite flavours, but the Bret ones I didn't like at all.
The thing that I can't stand that most people love is truffles.
