With some excitement I tore open the packaging and tried the various flavors. I was met with disappointment. Texture-wise, these chips are not crunchy at all and are unsatisfying. The flavors vary from terrible to passable. I couldn't finish the pack of what they call "salt and vinegar" chips. <br /> <br />I suppose these chips might be popular with people who are trying to watch their weight. <br /> <br />An anecdote: the day after I received these I gave the rest away to the other people in my dorm (who proceeded to affirm my suspicions that these chips were subpar). I then went to the corner shop across the street and bought some salt & vinegar Kettle chips.

MSG IS a preservative and a dangerous one at that. The package lies... these contain preservatives. I will not be eating these!

I disagree. About the closest flavor to the Chipsters so far would be Munchos, but still not the same. If you are conscious of diet, these will probably due.

Unfortunately, our previous shipment did not meet expectations, so, we attempted to return the product, but, because of the dating, we could not return it directly to Amazon.com. Instead, we were directed to return it directly to the vendor for replacement which, after two months, never materialized. We again contacted Amazon.com who immediately sent us a replacement and credited our account to make us whole. We are more than satisfied as to the way we were treated by Amazon,com and will continue to use Amazon.com to fill our future needs. As to the product, we are again satisfied with it and will continue to use it until a better replacement becomes available. Rating: 4 / 5 I have used this product before and was very satisfied.

Locally, I could only find the cherry, apple and brownie. This is now my favorite. Its so moist and flavorful. I keep a snack bag in the van. Better to eat one of these than hit a drive through. These are top quality and filling. Its a real treat. Rating: 5 / 5 I took a risk and ordered the box without trying one first. Locally, I could only find the cherry, apple and brownie.

I really enjoyed the taste and dense chewy texture of this bar. I picked one up at my local health food store, but I'm purchasing a case for me and a case of apple/cinnamon for my husband through Amazon based on the other reviews of that flavor!
