popchips sea salt and vinegar

If you saw my previous comment on ThrallMind’s post about the popchips Salt and Pepper chips, then you saw that popchips was nice enough to send us some of their chips to try. And of course, you know about my love for salt and vinegar chips. So of course, I had to try the popchips sea salt and vinegar chips.

When I opened the bag, the smell of salt and vinegar hit me and made me immediately want to start eating away. The taste of the chips has the bite I was looking for in the vinegar, and the slight sweetness of the sea salt. However, while the flavor is strong and pleasant, it lacks that little bit of saltiness the makes you want to reach for another chip.

The crunch on these, like the other popchips I have tried, are fantastic. And because they are air popped, the grease is non-existent. Even the bits of flavor that would usually stick to your fingers doesn’t exist.

Overall, I have been impressed with the popchip products I have tried, and look forward to trying the rest of their flavors. Definitely a brand of chip I will look for the next time I am out.

Popchips - Salt and Pepper

I first noticed Popchips when I went to Dragon*Con. Since I review Potato Chips, I had no choice (well, I did, but I love chips. What can I say?) but to buy and try them. I brought the bag to the register, sat down on a bench, and opened the bag. Slowly and excitedly I reached in and pulled out a chip. The chip itself was very light and airy and speckled with little bits of pepper. As always, I smelled it first. Not too overpowering. You definitely knew it was a pepper chip. Finally, I took a bite. The first thing I noticed is the chip had an amazing crunch. It wasn’t hard and crumbly, or soft and soggy. It was more like it had a “snap.” Awesome. The second thing I noticed was the flavour. The black pepper and salt. It flowed through my mouth like a delicious wave. It wasn’t so much flavour that I felt overwhelmed as with some chips. It was done just right. The perfect harmony of salt and pepper. The third thing that hit me was the chip itself. It didn’t have a greasy aftertaste, or any bad aftertaste at all. It was just right. It left the pepper taste in my mouth to complement each additional chip, making it that much more yummy. Expect more reviews for Popchips in the future and keep an eye on ‘em. You wont be disappointed.
