Advantages: Nice Taste

Disadvantages: Are like Cardboard.

Everytime I think about writing a review on Food, I just want to get up and start sing 'yummy, yummy, yummy I've got food in my tummy'. But I must add I never do. With these Rice Infusions I certainly don't want to.

I remember when pringles first came out. I was about 15 and still remember those first adverts that were made. 'Once you pop you can't stop'. This statement is certainly true.

Pringles come in round tubes which are different colours depending on the flavour. The lid is a clear round lid that cn be replaced once you have opened them for continued freshness. If you are anything like me however the lid never gets the chance to be replaced as I have eaten them all in one go.

I had never actually tried the Rice Infusion range before but as they were on offer in Morrisons for £1.00 I thought why not. As they are Rice I thought they may stop me from eating too many crisps as they should be better for me.

Rice Infusions come in the same round tubes as pringles, with the colour for flavour on the front of the tube. The crisps themselves are exactly the same shape (in my house at least one person has to quack like the duck with the crisps in his mouth), they are just made of Rice instead of Potatoes.

I bought the Sweet BBQ Spare Rib as I love Spare rib flavour and BBQ too. Once I opened the packet though I wish I never bought them. As soon as I popped one into my mouth the BBQ flavour was lovely but the crisp itself was just like card board.

Not even my monkey who will eat anything would touch these Infusions. She just emptied the contents to play with the tube so they must be bad.

Summary: I will NEVER try these again!
