Speaker 1: Chips are a total soul food of mine and I'm
Speaker 1: amazed that we are well over one hundred podcasts and
Speaker 1: we still haven't really covered them. So today on the
Speaker 1: Nutrition Couch we cover it. Three healthier types of chips
Speaker 1: and if they're really that much healthier that you can
Speaker 1: find in your local supermarket. Hi, I'm land Ward and
Speaker 1: I'm Susie Burrow and it's two of austrayas leading dieticians.
Speaker 1: We bring you the Nutrition Couch Product Review, a weekly
Speaker 1: chat on new products and old favorites that you can
Speaker 1: find in the supermarket. So, Susie, if you had to
Speaker 1: pick one chip flavor, water, is it?
Speaker 2: Oh, cheese? An onion? What is an onion?
Speaker 3: But you know the truth is that the ones I
Speaker 3: tend to like have got MSG added. Actually that's a lie.
Speaker 3: The ones I like most are American ruffles and the
Speaker 3: flavor is sour cream and cheddar. There is not one
Speaker 3: healthy thing about them. They would be one of the
Speaker 3: most unhealthiest foods on the planet with hydrogenated fat through it.
Speaker 3: And the only time I tend to eat them is
Speaker 3: when I go to Hawaii on a holiday with my sister.
Speaker 3: But I just try not to eat too many of them.
Speaker 3: But I think that it's a great topic at this
Speaker 3: time of year because there's quite a few in the
Speaker 3: health feed section. Noallyan that you would say are masquerading
Speaker 3: is quite healthy or healthier variety, and they can be
Speaker 3: made with vegetables and legumes. So I think that a
Speaker 3: lot of let's be honest, most people kind of light chips,
Speaker 3: and I think it's good to have a lay of
Speaker 3: the land about what is out there and are the
Speaker 3: ones that are marketed as being better options are they
Speaker 3: actually because yeah, we all enjoy a packet of chiky
Speaker 3: packet of chips every now and again.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and it's funny.
Speaker 1: As soon as she said that, I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, I had them when we were in Hawaii,
Speaker 1: those ruffle ones.
Speaker 2: They're really good.
Speaker 3: They are so good, and you can find them in
Speaker 3: some of those like American type delis around here. Like
Speaker 3: they're expensive, but they're so not healthy. There has to
Speaker 3: be a rule on them because they're just so moorish.
Speaker 3: The artificial flavors and colors are just like through the roof.
Speaker 1: And I must say my favorite of all time are
Speaker 1: Red Rock Deli, this swe chili sad cream they're just
Speaker 1: my absolute favorite. But the cost of chips lately, that's
Speaker 1: the one thing besides meat and dairy, i've really knows
Speaker 1: them like a bad chips. It's like five six dollars.
Speaker 1: If you get like your local convenience store down the road,
Speaker 1: you're paying six seven dollars or a bag of chips.
Speaker 2: So yeah, of course, through the roof.
Speaker 3: One hundred percent, my dad's English, and so he likes
Speaker 3: cheese and onion chips, and so quite often if they'd
Speaker 3: be on sealf for like, I think like one seventy
Speaker 3: five for a packet, and I've noticed lately like they're
Speaker 3: four and five dollars, like you said, like it's a
Speaker 3: ridiculous amount of money to pay for potato, a bit
Speaker 3: of flavor and oil.
Speaker 2: Like, and their bags are getting smaller, so much smaller.
Speaker 3: There's certainly not something I spend because one hundred percent
Speaker 3: they are so expensive for what they are, which is
Speaker 3: really not really offering anything nutritionally in the grand scheme
Speaker 3: of things other than sort of pleasure and things. So yeah,
Speaker 3: that's a fair call, I think when it comes to
Speaker 3: if you were getting some rid of some stuff off
Speaker 3: the family budget, certainly they'd be on the list of
Speaker 3: things to cut right back on.
Speaker 2: We much.
Speaker 1: We buy little bags of popcorn most weeks, but versus
Speaker 1: chips because obviously it's not healthier and a lot more
Speaker 1: affordable as well.
Speaker 3: I don't buy chips for the kids. I'm more likely
Speaker 3: to get them pretzels and things just because I nutritionally.
Speaker 3: Like we've descrised, there's not much to them. But you know,
Speaker 3: it is the sort of something that come out at
Speaker 3: party time platters and when you go into people's houses
Speaker 3: and barbecues. So I thought, oh, it's probably a pretty
Speaker 3: good topic to talk about coming into silly season. And
Speaker 3: I really like the ones that you've chosen.
Speaker 1: Well, the first one to kick it off, I think
Speaker 1: is one that a lot of people reach for thinking
Speaker 1: that is a healthy option.
Speaker 2: So let's see if it really is.
Speaker 1: So is it?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: It is the Smith's brand, and Smith's here in Australia
Speaker 1: is probably one of the biggest brand of chips, I
Speaker 1: would say, so it's an aussy brand. They're the Smith's
Speaker 1: oven baked Chips, sea salt flavor. I just went with
Speaker 1: plain varieties today and they retail it will was for
Speaker 1: four dollars thirty for one hundred and thirty grand bag.
Speaker 1: So I remember back in the day when chips used
Speaker 1: to be two hundred grams. I picked up my favorite
Speaker 1: rector of Delhi's the other day. There are one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty five grams. Head down to these ones are
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty grams. So automatically the packet is
Speaker 1: a lot smaller. Yeah, the cost isn't going down at all.
Speaker 1: So on the front of package label we have two
Speaker 1: and a half stars, so compared to the other chips
Speaker 1: in that category, it's sort of sitting about in mid range.
Speaker 1: But I think this is a good one to chat
Speaker 1: through because in the front a package label, it's got
Speaker 1: fifty percent less fat, and it's got oven baked and
Speaker 1: big letters across the front of the packet. So I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people would go, well, this is
Speaker 1: much healthier. So let's have a little Looksie, Susie. So
Speaker 1: first ingredient is potato flakes, not potato potato flakes fifty
Speaker 1: five percent. Next ingredient is corn starch, followed by cornola oil, sugar,
Speaker 1: wheat flour, salt, sunflour, leathers and raising agents, natural color,
Speaker 1: and that's it. And allergens are milk, wheat, and gluten.
Speaker 1: And then if we look at the per hundred gram column,
Speaker 1: because I think with chips we'll have to do hundred
Speaker 1: gram because the serving size is eight. It's different per
Speaker 1: packet and beat. It's ridiculous because you can't tell me
Speaker 1: like when a bag of chip says like eight point
Speaker 1: two serves per bag. Who the hell's eating one eighth
Speaker 1: of a bag of potato chips?
Speaker 2: Nobody?
Speaker 1: So it's much better to do per hundred grams today
Speaker 1: because nobody can actually stick to a certain things.
Speaker 3: In general, no one's eating more than one serve in
Speaker 3: any bag. I feel like you buy the bag you're eating.
Speaker 2: And some people eat the bag as well.
Speaker 1: All right, So per one hundred grams, we've got one thousand,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety kilodel, so about nineteen hundred kilogels
Speaker 1: per hundred grams, five point three grams of protein, sixteen
Speaker 1: grams of fat with one point four being saturated, so
Speaker 1: very low saturated fat, which is good. Sixty nine point
Speaker 1: four grams of carbohydrates, so that would make sense, Like
Speaker 1: a potato chip is a potato, which is a carb
Speaker 1: so it's going to be a heavy car product. Five
Speaker 1: point one grams of sugar. That is, some of that
Speaker 1: is added sugar, because there is some added sugar in here,
Speaker 1: and dietary fiber hasn't been listed, and sodium is six
Speaker 1: hundred and ten milligrams per hundred grams. Are not insignificant
Speaker 1: but also expected because you know, most potato chips have
Speaker 1: salt and flavorings added, so overall, like they're slightly less
Speaker 1: like I think the smiths. I looked up quickly just
Speaker 1: the original standard potato chip is something like maybe two thousand,
Speaker 1: two hundred kilojels, so you're getting about four hundred ish
Speaker 1: less kilodeels per hundred grams, so definitely lower calorie. But
Speaker 1: here's my thing with it, ZUZI I've tried them. I
Speaker 1: don't like them. I don't eat them, and I would
Speaker 1: have like I would be eating these and thinking, oh,
Speaker 1: these aren't that good, but you know, I love chips,
Speaker 1: I'll keep eating them. I would overeat these and still
Speaker 1: not really be satisfied. And they're not that much healthy.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. Yes, they're probably a lot lower in fat.
Speaker 1: There is a slightly less kilodual calorie perspective there, but
Speaker 1: I just don't rate them from a taste or a
Speaker 1: satisfaction perspective.
Speaker 2: Have you tried them?
Speaker 3: I actually like them now, so if we're comparing, First
Speaker 3: of all, most of the chips come out of Pepsi
Speaker 3: COO So Smith was an original astrained company, and now
Speaker 3: they're any kind of twisties. You know, they're all owned
Speaker 3: Pepsi coast so that's the primary brand, and they also
Speaker 3: make ruffles. Can I also say, but normal chips are
Speaker 3: like twenty five percent fat, so they are significantly lower
Speaker 3: in fat. And you can tell by the mouthfeel. They're
Speaker 3: sort of much cunchy and there's almost sort of a
Speaker 3: coat on them rather than the oil that you would
Speaker 3: get from a you.
Speaker 2: Know, red rock deli or kettle chip.
Speaker 3: I don't mind them, but I guess I get why
Speaker 3: you don't like them, because they're like a rice cracker more.
Speaker 2: Really, they're more like a rass crack. Yes, that's it.
Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah. They don't mouth feel anything like a chip.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And you know they're heavily processed, but they do have
Speaker 3: a bit more, you know, a bit lower fat in them.
Speaker 3: I think the thing that I find most alarming is
Speaker 3: how much they are for one hundred and thirty grams,
Speaker 3: they're like four dollars thirty like that is massive. One
Speaker 3: hundred grams is hardly any like it's you know, tiny
Speaker 3: amounts like it's it counts like twenty or thirty chips
Speaker 3: really in the whole bag, like you're paying for air.
Speaker 3: I like them because I like Seltn vinegar and the
Speaker 3: Sultan vinegar is quite strong, and if I just want
Speaker 3: a few, I don't mind them. But I hear what
Speaker 3: you're saying, and certainly I don't buy them when they're
Speaker 3: full priced. Occasionally, when they're like half price, I might
Speaker 3: pick them up, and my kids quite like them, so
Speaker 3: I'd rather meet those than say Dorito's. But yeah, i'd
Speaker 3: give it like a six or seven out of ten,
Speaker 3: and i'd describe them more like a rice cake. And
Speaker 3: the benefit, I guess overall is that they're low saturated fat.
Speaker 3: So if you're someone who's specifically looking for lower saturated
Speaker 3: fat products, I actually think the sodium's quite reasonable for chips,
Speaker 3: like they're usually a lot higher than that in my experience.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's not an outstanding product. I think if
Speaker 3: you like them, they certainly better than full fat chips.
Speaker 3: But you're right you're not going to get that same
Speaker 3: mouthfeel that you're getting from a full fat, you know,
Speaker 3: proper red rock Deli Crisp, which is a pretty clean
Speaker 3: ingredient list from memory anyway, which is just oil and potato.
Speaker 3: So just different straights for different folk. But if you
Speaker 3: do like them, they're they're are better for you. You
Speaker 3: would say.
Speaker 2: They're better for you.
Speaker 1: But my grant would be that I could probably happily
Speaker 1: eat the whole bag of these and still not really
Speaker 1: feel satisfied.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can easily eat that bag.
Speaker 1: Because as you said, it's like a rice cracker, But
Speaker 1: like my bag of red Rock Della chips, I could
Speaker 1: have three four five and really be satisfied. Like I
Speaker 1: could just go and grab a couple like three four
Speaker 1: five and be like, yeah, I'm done. I wouldn't feel
Speaker 1: the need to eat the whole bag because they're so satisfying.
Speaker 1: So for me, that's that's what I would prefer. But
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of clients that we both have,
Speaker 1: Susie and a lot of people listening, really do have
Speaker 1: without portion control. So if you are someone that's kind
Speaker 1: of like, well a buy a bag of gipsyat the
Speaker 1: whole bag, this is probably a better option for you.
Speaker 3: And you can get them in the mini bags too,
Speaker 3: But I tell you, actually, what's interesting the end that
Speaker 3: potato flake of fifty five percent and then corn starch
Speaker 3: like from a glacemic index or glacemic control perspective for
Speaker 3: blood glucose, that's not good. Like that's the most refined
Speaker 3: sort of potato, and corn starch is really refined carb
Speaker 3: so it's got some fat in it, which is probably
Speaker 3: buffering the glycemic response. But still for anyone with glucose
Speaker 3: regulation issues, this pure kind of carbohydrate snack is not
Speaker 3: a good choice. So we need to be very clear
Speaker 3: on that. They're heavily process which is not good for
Speaker 3: blood glucose control. It looks nothing like a potato No, no,
Speaker 3: it does not.
Speaker 1: Now, second chip that we've got today, Susi, again from
Speaker 1: Willist is the simply seven lentil chips with sea salt.
Speaker 1: So this one is one hundred and thirteen grams, so
Speaker 1: less than the other bag, and it's five dollars twenty five.
Speaker 1: So this is very much something that would be found
Speaker 1: more in the health food section. So you're paying a
Speaker 1: premium for a health food product. But let's see if
Speaker 1: it really is susy. So top ingredient is lentil flow,
Speaker 1: so fifty percent lentil flow, so that's nice to see.
Speaker 1: I did look at a couple of the other lentil
Speaker 1: chips on the market, and lentil flour was sort of
Speaker 1: the second or third ingredient in some of them, like
Speaker 1: potato flowers the first ingredient, followed by lentil flow. So
Speaker 1: I think that's really important if you're going to pay
Speaker 1: the extra money, you want the lentil ingredient to be
Speaker 1: the top ingredient. Put it that way, if you're going
Speaker 1: to pay the extra money. So this is why I
Speaker 1: chose this one today and had a little bit higher
Speaker 1: fiber as well. So then we've got potato starch following
Speaker 1: the lentil flow, sunflower oil, and some sea salt, so
Speaker 1: very clean ingredients. Only four there, the lentil flower, the
Speaker 1: potato starch, the oil, and the sea salt. They are
Speaker 1: vegan and they're very sort of allergy friendly as well
Speaker 1: gluten free. You know, there's not a lot of ingredients
Speaker 1: there that sort of thing, so good one well rounded
Speaker 1: option for the family, particularly for some sensitive tummies. Going
Speaker 1: again via the per one hundred gram column. We've got
Speaker 1: roughly two thousand kilodools, which is about four hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty calories. We've got ten point six grams of protein,
Speaker 1: so a higher protein product, you would say, compared to
Speaker 1: a standard chip, because lentil is something that is you know,
Speaker 1: those beans and legumes obviously have higher protein than something
Speaker 1: like a potato does. Fat is twenty one point two
Speaker 1: grams of fat, with one point seven grams being saturated,
Speaker 1: so again a low saturated fat product. Sixty two grams
Speaker 1: of carbohydrates, so again a fairly standard and a potato chip.
Speaker 1: We're not going to find a potato chip that's like
Speaker 1: five grams of carbohydrates.
Speaker 2: It's just not going to exist.
Speaker 1: Three point one grams of fiber and a thousand milligrams
Speaker 1: of sodium, so a lot higher salt than the previous
Speaker 1: one that we looked at. So I quite like it.
Speaker 1: I must admit I haven't tried these before. They are
Speaker 1: quite popular. I have seen them in the supermarket, and
Speaker 1: there's often not many left in that sort of health
Speaker 1: food section.
Speaker 2: But I mean, I think it's good. Again, it's a.
Speaker 1: Highly processed product. It's not like you're eating a pure lentil. Again,
Speaker 1: if you like it, I think it's a good option.
Speaker 1: It's higher in protein, higher and fiber then say a
Speaker 1: standard bag of potato chips. But again, if you're going
Speaker 1: to eat the entire bag, you're probably looking at a
Speaker 1: very similar calorie load, even though you do are getting
Speaker 1: sort of a potentially slightly higher or better macro nutrients
Speaker 1: bread throughout compared to us down a potato chip.
Speaker 3: Sure, so, like, let's be honest, we're all eating the
Speaker 3: whole bag. They're so light, that's five hundred calim one here,
Speaker 3: twenty grams are fat. Yeah, there's got a bit of
Speaker 3: protein in their bit of fiber. I'm with you. I
Speaker 3: think it's better. But would I pay five dollars twenty
Speaker 3: five for one hundred grams of food?
Speaker 2: Probably not. I'm assuming they're probably gluten free, are though.
Speaker 1: They're gluten free by ingredient, But I can't see the
Speaker 1: I don't know about any sort of processing line.
Speaker 3: So, you know, for people who are looking for snack
Speaker 3: food which is clean and they need that for any
Speaker 3: alley allergy or siliac, yeah, I give them a seven.
Speaker 3: You know, they're chips, chips and chips. These aren't healthy
Speaker 3: they're healthier than some of the worst chips. Their middle ground.
Speaker 3: I think portion control would be difficult. I think that
Speaker 3: it's really expensive for food in this current time where
Speaker 3: everything is so much, Like who's paying five dollars for
Speaker 3: one hundred grams of chips? But you know, if you're
Speaker 3: having a platter and put some out, perhaps with a
Speaker 3: dip or something along those lines. But certainly I think
Speaker 3: that they're risky. If you open that bag, they're gone.
Speaker 3: I can't see anyone stopping because you know, it's a
Speaker 3: very small handful, I would say, is making the server.
Speaker 3: You know, they're surprisingly you know, they're not overly low
Speaker 3: like some of the healthier chips I've seen on odd occasions.
Speaker 3: And the issue, of course the end is they often
Speaker 3: don't sell, so they don't last because they don't taste great.
Speaker 3: The lowest sort of fat i've seen for chip's about
Speaker 3: fourteen percent versus twenty to twenty five, which is regular.
Speaker 3: See these aren't low like, they're still twenty one percent fat.
Speaker 3: Like that's a high fat food. The only buffer is
Speaker 3: that there's protein. You'd say, oh, but it's going to
Speaker 3: feel you more well. You have to eat the whole bag.
Speaker 3: You're getting ten, it's still pretty low. So yeah, middle ground.
Speaker 3: I'd still give it a six or a seven. And
Speaker 3: certainly they wouldn't be on my list just from a
Speaker 3: budget perspective, but perhaps for people who are on specific
Speaker 3: dietary requirements, you know, they're an option, and you.
Speaker 1: Know people would say, oh, but these are better because
Speaker 1: there's more protein, there's more fiber. But let's be honest,
Speaker 1: you're not eating lentil chips for the protein fiber. Like,
Speaker 1: if that's where you're going for your fiber, you're doing
Speaker 1: something wrong. I can tell you that. Much like we
Speaker 1: get our fiber from our whole grains and our fruits
Speaker 1: and our vegetables, we get our protein from other sources
Speaker 1: of lean protein. So yes, it might be slightly better
Speaker 1: on paper, but I think at the end of the day.
Speaker 2: A chip is a chip.
Speaker 1: Like you said, Susie, it's really something that is a
Speaker 1: discretionary food. Even if it is slightly healthier on paper,
Speaker 1: we really shouldn't be having it on a daily basis
Speaker 1: or a regular occasion. True, true, true, all right, And
Speaker 1: the last one, these personally are my favorite. I do
Speaker 1: buy these, Susi. I think they have a beautiful mouth
Speaker 1: while they taste really yummy. But again, a chip is
Speaker 1: a chip. If it looks like a chip, it probably
Speaker 1: is a chip. That's all we normally say, isn't it?
Speaker 1: So they're the ajuitus? Is that how you pronounce it?
Speaker 1: A judics veget chips? So just went with the natural flavor. Again,
Speaker 1: it will work. They are four dollars fifty four one
Speaker 1: hundred grams, so that we're getting slightly smaller. Back at Susie,
Speaker 1: we started off with what one hundred and thirty, went
Speaker 1: down to one thirteen, and now we're at one hundred grams.
Speaker 1: So I kind of like that the bag is smaller
Speaker 1: because again, let's be honest, we're all eating half to bag.
Speaker 2: A whole bag.
Speaker 1: I think you're serving size for this sort is five
Speaker 1: per packet, So who's are just eating twenty grams of
Speaker 1: chips out of there? Absolutely nobody? So I quite like them.
Speaker 1: They often go on sale. They're often, you know, thirty
Speaker 1: fifty percent off, so I'll pick up a couple of bags.
Speaker 1: It's around the pantry when they are on sal They
Speaker 1: really do have a nice mouthfeel and they're very allergy friendly.
Speaker 1: Are using for a lot of my sensitive clients. They're began,
Speaker 1: they're gluten free, they're dairy free, they've got no soy nuts,
Speaker 1: eggs like, they're very very good. There's no artificial flavors
Speaker 1: or preservatives either, and they're a really good I think
Speaker 1: of a memory. They're a Bosi company as well, which
Speaker 1: is nice. So ingredient wise, we've got cassava, so a
Speaker 1: type of you know, start sixty percent, followed by tabioca flower,
Speaker 1: followed by sartleflour oil, sugar, shalotte leaf, which I think
Speaker 1: decides a little bit of kind of herb and spice
Speaker 1: in there, some salt, and some sesame seeds to round
Speaker 1: us out. So the only allergen in there being sesame seeds,
Speaker 1: which you know most people aren'talogic to. But my little
Speaker 1: meal is no chips, port Darling, no Vegea chips for
Speaker 1: your mem So looking at the perl, hundred gram so
Speaker 1: this serving sizes twenty on this packet, and again I
Speaker 1: just can't fathom anyone who would actually eat twenty grams
Speaker 1: of these are delicious. Per hundred grams, we've got nineteen
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty kilodeel, so about four hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: calories one point two grams of protein eighteen point eight
Speaker 1: grams of fat, so slightly lower than the other ones
Speaker 1: we've looked at, with one point seven grams being saturated,
Speaker 1: again very low saturated fat. We have sixty seven grams
Speaker 1: of carbohydrate, seven grams of that being sugars, four point
Speaker 1: two grams of fiber, and five sixty milligrams of sodium.
Speaker 1: So like on paper, these are probably some of the
Speaker 1: better ones. They're lower, they're lower kilodule, they've got more
Speaker 1: dietary fiber, they're lower in sodium, but again you know
Speaker 1: there's a high carbohydrate lower, they're quite refined. These are
Speaker 1: definitely my pick is a bunch from a taste perspective. Unfortunately, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're not that they're not that affordable, like four dollars
Speaker 1: fifty four hundred grams. I would absolutely be waiting until
Speaker 1: they're on sale to purchase them.
Speaker 3: They are a little good Australian company just in Corumbin,
Speaker 3: up in Nice the border in Queensland.
Speaker 2: I'm with you.
Speaker 3: I've always really liked this brand and I think it
Speaker 3: goes back to when I did pediatrics. They had their
Speaker 3: little individual packets and they were quite low calorie for kids.
Speaker 3: They're actually really low in salts compared to other chips.
Speaker 3: When you look at that, like that's half the amount
Speaker 3: of sodium that's usually in any kind of chip. They're
Speaker 3: got to use a better quality oil, and I think
Speaker 3: they taste really good. They've got all different varieties actually
Speaker 3: across the board. You can get this sort of quite
Speaker 3: small individual packets. You know, they're still chips, but certainly
Speaker 3: I'm with you, they're a better type of chip with
Speaker 3: a better oil. They're lower in sodium, clean for gluten
Speaker 3: free and if you can portion control. I think that
Speaker 3: there's sort of some beech troot ones as well, the
Speaker 3: original veggie chips. They taste good, you know, they're sort
Speaker 3: of clean.
Speaker 2: Less salt.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't usually keep them at home by them,
Speaker 3: but if I was recommending some for people, they would
Speaker 3: be top of my list. I'd probably give them like
Speaker 3: an eight out of ten, seven and a half out
Speaker 3: of ten, both for the profile, the better use of fat.
Speaker 3: It's an Aussie company. You can get small portions the salts,
Speaker 3: lower type of oil. Yeah, and they taste good, which
Speaker 3: is always also important. And I think the other thing
Speaker 3: I quite like it. Yeah, they're not masquerading with a
Speaker 3: health halo, you know what I mean, Like they're they're not.
Speaker 3: They're still saying they're chips, you know, but they're saying
Speaker 3: we're using a better oil. They're not sort of chucking
Speaker 3: an ingredient in there and saying, oh, we use some
Speaker 3: lentil or we use some p but hence in tons
Speaker 3: of MSG and so we're better. But it's not like
Speaker 3: to me, it presents as it is. You know, it
Speaker 3: is a chip, but we're trying to make it a
Speaker 3: bit healthier. And for that reason I sort of have
Speaker 3: always quite liked them as well. And you're right, this
Speaker 3: brand's been around for ages, like that nutritional panel. I've
Speaker 3: been looking out I reckon for twenty five years.
Speaker 2: And it's never changed, like the font the same, right,
Speaker 2: that has been like that. Yeah, why change a good
Speaker 2: thing though?
Speaker 1: Right? I remember my mum buying these for some and
Speaker 1: real kids like I've had them. I've been in these
Speaker 1: for the better part of twenty years, I think.
Speaker 2: And that says everything.
Speaker 3: Because if Sophie liked them early on, Sophie knows all
Speaker 3: the good stuff we just got to her. If Sophie
Speaker 3: thinks it's all right, it's a thumbs up from us.
Speaker 1: Exactly if Sophie likes them, she's she's a unqualified dietician,
Speaker 1: was a dietitian before she you know, before it became
Speaker 1: a term.
Speaker 2: And they do do.
Speaker 1: Like actual vegetable chips as well, like as you said,
Speaker 1: the beat true chips, they do sweet potato ones. As
Speaker 1: a bag of them, I didn't choose them because from
Speaker 1: a calorie perspectives, they're actually very slightly higher. And these
Speaker 1: were me are the winner because as she said, they
Speaker 1: really taste like and resemble a chip like to me,
Speaker 1: out of the three we reviewed today, these are probably
Speaker 1: the closest to a chip like. It's not a Smith's
Speaker 1: you know, crink or cut chip by any means, but
Speaker 1: to me, they have the flavor, the texture, the mouth feel,
Speaker 1: they're crunchy like. They really do resemble the closest thing
Speaker 1: to a chip for being a healthiest sort of variety.
Speaker 3: And the tast does taste good like they are a
Speaker 3: pleasant flavor. To give approval hundred percent, I agree, No,
Speaker 3: you've got my vote too. I think they're a really
Speaker 3: good one.
Speaker 2: Yep.
