Cumba Papas Fritas Chips Natural 
It did not take much of a Nose Plunge Test to reveal the prominent sunflower aroma, which in turn was reflected in the taste. Sunflower oil with relatively low salty extract would be the overall judgement of what was a rather bland and unmemorable chip.

Cumba Papas Fritas Chips Salt & Vinegar 
A Nose Plunge Test revealed a nice level of nose stinging vinegar. There was not much in the way of flavour, but what there was featured a nice balance between salt and vinegar, which is rare outside of the United Kingdom. Overall, a muted, but solid example, even if it did take a handful of chips at once to bring out the best of the flavour.
