Advantages: great spicy snack

Disadvantages: full of calories

I do enjoy munching snacks while making a review but during the weekend, we as a family also enjoy our time together watching tele or DVD with our favourite crips. One of our favourite crips is the "Sensations Thai Sweet Chili" from Walkers.

Sensations Thai Sweet Chili is a spicy layered with sultry sweet crips. Blended with herbs and spices to culminate an intense and uplifting flavour. The thicker cut, quality Lady Rosetta and Saturna potatoes are infused with real ingredients to pack a powerful and passionate punch leaving you just a little jot and tingling on your tongue. It has no artificial sweeteners, no flavour enhancers (NO MSG), no preservatives and artificial colours.

PACKAGING
The old pakaging is colourful with white backdrop. It has black & white logo plus photo of potato field with a huge pile of chillies and potatoes.They have changed their packaging and now come in a black bag which has a picture of a red dragon and chilli peppers on the front. It looks more simple, very appropriate with the flavour and of course the logo of walkers is visible on the front. They're available in large share-size bags of 160g and smaller bags as well. I usually take the 160g, perfect for sharing. These potato chips were very crispy and has a ton of very tasty spices that's why we all enjoy the great taste.

We couldn't expect lower calories from crips but other brand are far more worse, so it's still down to us to know our limits of intake.

PRICE
I usually get my Sensation Thai Sweet Chili at tesco for £1.46, but tend to get more when they were on offer.

TASTE
When i first tried them I am really impressed. It's different from those ordinary crips that I usually have when i crave for it. It's quite sweet then followed by the hot chili taste. The real chilli creates a gentle heat, while other ingredients such as a dash of soy sauce, onion, tomato and farlic add a delicate sweetness for a sublime taste contrast. A perfect amount of spice for my liking. There are many times that i forget my glass of water but I still manage to finished the packet without drinking. Even my little one like these spicy crips. Maybe adding to it's secret is the exotic far eastern herbs that bring out exciting flavours that tingles in our tongue.

CONCLUSION
I know that we all have different preferences when it comes to eating unhealthy snacks but i tend to enjoy them at times even if the price is a bit more than the other brand as long as I'm satisfied with my treat. On the otherhand I'm still aware when to stop even if my mouth want some more. It's a fact that it's still full of calories and are not good for us, that's why I tried to limit my consumption. Walkers also offer variety of exotic luxurious crips but out of the flavours I've tried, this is by far my favourite, rich flavours that leave a nice spice taste in the mouth. It's also ideal for sharing with family and friends, so why don't you grab one now and have a little spice!
