Advantages: Cheap and they fit on your fingers

Disadvantages: Well, a crisp is a crisp

These are my children's favourite crisps.

** The packaging **
A plastic bag containing 8 bags of crisps. The crisps packets are very plain, blue and white with no pictures.

** The price **
81p for 8 packets. That is compared with £1.11 for 7 packets of Hula Hoops - so the bag of 8 is 45p cheaper.

** The crisps **
They are potato rings, just like Hula Hoops

** Nutrition **
Well, "nutrition" is not usually a word I'd apply to crisps, but if you're feeding these to your children it is good to know. They are made of potato, oil and salt. A 100g contains 0.7g of sodium, which is less than Hula Hoops (0.9g). 100g contains 18g of fat (28g in hula hoops). So if you're comparing them to the branded version, these are better. If you're comparing them to an apple, well ...

** Taste **
They taste good to me, and my children like them. But let's face it, it isn't about the taste is it? It is about the fact that you can thread 10 hoops onto your fingers and thumbs and wave them, and then slowly eat the hopps off your fingers and start over.

Summary: A good buy
