I’m
not much of a snacker but that’s not to say I don’t eat a lot because I do.
Portion control is not one of my strong suits. I just love food too much.
On
a rec from my friend Susie (her hubby loves them), I bought this bag of chips.
They’re called “Popchips”. Has anyone ever heard of them?
They're really good as evidenced by the fact that I’ve ripped through half the bag in minutes. They taste like ground up popcorn that’s been smashed and pressed together then lightly salted. Yet, they're light and fluffy. Not one lick of grease either!
I liked the bag because it spoke "really light" to me! The tagline on the front says:
“think popped!
never fried.
never baked.”
The
back is pretty funny.
“nothing fake
or phony.
no fake
colors, no fake flavors,
no fluorescent
orange fingertips,
no wiping your
greasy chip hand
on your jeans.
no really.”
This
description really grabbed me because (of my marketing background?) I despise Cheetos for many reasons but
mostly because of the fingertip thingy. Since Cheetos were scarcely in my house as I was completely put off by
them, my kids, of course, just loooooved them all the more (and my daughter went through a phase where she only ate things that were orange but that's another story). It drove me nuts.
I
think I’m gonna have to set a per chip limit otherwise I will devour
the whole bag and it would be very easy.

I can see an addiction forming for me and I don't get addicted to things easily!
