Verdict

Bag

The flavour description is so long it needed the whole of the front of the bag to fit it on! The flavours are colour coded on a black bag and there is a retro styled cartoon image of the ingredients. The large writing dominates and the handwritten style makes it look a little confusing and hard to read. It is an effort at design, but only at an own brand level. It does not compare favourably with some of the Crisps specific company designs, despite Tesco's financial resources.

Crunch

As these Crisps were particularly hardened by the oil they were cooked in, the crunch was sustained for a lot longer than most regular Crisps. The bite was firm, the crunch was hard and the chomp continued right to the end of the Crisp’s sad and painful life.

Texture

The Crisps looked like hardened yellow oil. There were oil boils, but the Crisps were as flat as hot fried thin slices of potato could be. There was no visible seasoning, but there was some skin on edges.

Taste

 A Nose Plunge Test revealed an odd aroma of empty bag. We had to double take to make sure there were some Crisps in there. The taste was a little more rewarding, but only a little. The flavour was exactly as described, Lightly Salted. The over-riding flavour however was oil. Potatoey oil.
