Advantages: Less calories than normal crisps

Disadvantages: Not strong in flavour

I've just finished munching a packet of Skips with my lunch so thought I would write a review on them. Skips are a "fizzy melty snack" that are prawn cocktail flavoured. On the flavour front you will find many prawn cocktail flavoured crisps that have a stronger flavour than these, but the lack of strength doesn't take away the niceness. If anything it helps make the crisp more popular with children - my daughter loves to pinch one of Mummy's Skips! Now, the fizzy, melty aspect is certainly true. If you place a Skip on your tongue you really do get a slight fizz sensation and if you leave them there long enough they literally do melt! This is because they are not your typical "fried potato slice" type of crisp. These are made from Tapioca Starch and Maize (as well as sunflower oil, prawn cocktail flavour, rice protein, sugar, salt, paprika extract).

They also contain no MSG and have 50% less saturated fat than previously, there's also only 89 calories per bag so they are usually a good option for a treat on most diets. I've just tried to find the weight of a bag, but can not find one on the bag anywhere, but 100g is 524 calories and a bag is 89 calories so by my magical powers of deduction I would say a bag is about 17g.

These are definitely my husband's favourite crisp, but personally I prefer a real crisp (potato and fried!)

Summary: A good treat for those counting the calories
