Advantages: Healthier

Disadvantages: Tastless

Like most big brand names my Walkers crisps are available in most supermarkets, mine came from Sainsbury's on special offer at 25p a bag. The bag is predominantly red on one side and full of information on the other. Content weight 25g.

NUTRITIONAL CONTENT

In the bottom left hand corner of the package a large 70% number informing us that these chips have 70% less fat than Walkers crisp generally. Below this guide facts concerning content of Calories, Sugar, Fat, Saturates, Salt and how much they full fill
Adult's daily amount, not much for example the chips inside are 98 calories but only 5% RDA. All useful stuff when planning a healthy diet.

On the reverse of the packet some advertising selling the flavour and health advantages of baked food followed by a more specific argument concerning Walkers Baked. Further nutritional information follows including advice on its suitability for vegetarians (these are) and contact details if you have problems with the crisp and the packaging.

THE CRISP

The crisp are various sizes and crinkled, they do not smell as strongly as other crisps I have tried, I think the flavour is rather bland. I munched away loyally at these crisps but did not find them as favourable as Walkers and other non - baked varieties.

CONCLUSION

Obviously the flavour was not a sufficient reason for sending the lot back to Walkers HQ, but after the 1st few crisps I felt like doing just that and asking for a Walkers regular as a replacement. I think although crisps are high in saturated fats etc, one eats so few within 1 sitting you can do without the healthier option. One must ask oneself healthier but at what cost ?
