Advantages: Tastes great, and free from many of the baddies.

Disadvantages: More expensive in Ireland then other crisps.

When I have to go out to the post office, and my daughter is being exceptionally bored of long lines, I always use a little bribe to get her to behave.
Generally it goes along the lines of something special to eat, as being under two there aren't many other pleasures in life.
So after the queue is done, we go to the shop and I let her pick out something, once it was a 2 liter bottle of milk, that she HAD to have, another time it was a apple, but generally its a small bag of crisps.
Now I generally let her have her pick of a few different types that I know, don't contain artificial flavors colors and preservatives.
It is usually narrowed down to organix, hula hoops, and pom- bear, and between the three my favorite is hands down the pom-bear.

The Pom-Bear is a teddy shaped snack, which is made of deep fried potato powder, similar to the concept of Pringles. It doesn't however have the same amount of artificial flavors and MSG.
You wont miss it though, as these snacks have enough flavor to kick out any diet that might have been hanging around your door.

I generally buy the 19 gram pack, as it keeps temptation away, but they are rather expensive. In Ireland a 19gram pack costs 60 euro cents.
They also come in a larger pack of 25 grams and 150grams.
In the UK Pom-Bear is available in Original (Ready Salted), Cheese and Onion, Salt and Vinegar, and Ketchup flavours, my personal favorite is Cheese and Onion. But there are other flavours like Prawn Cocktail, Paprika, Pizza and Sour Cream & Onion which can be found as well, although usually in other countries.

The bag seems to keep most of the teddy shapes intact, so your child wont find too many headless and armless bears. The texture however isn't for everyone. The taste is good and shouldn't be a problem, but some have complained that the texture is too flimsy.
If you are used to hand cooked crisps, that are crunchy and hard then these will be a big surprise. These snacks are light and airy and just dissolve on your tongue, making them perfect for little ones.

I also think they are great, and usually have to buy a separate pack for myself or I will finish off my daughters!
These snacks are also gluten free, so if you are allergic you don't need to miss out!

4 stars because of the price compared to other crisps, Organix is cheaper and technically better for you too (but oh the mess those puffs make).
