I hadn't tried Red Sky before, but they were on special offer in Tesco so I pickup up a bag of the ready salted flavour.

I enjoy ready salted varieties of premium crisps - you get to taste the real flavour of the potato, without it being masked by other additions.
I like Tyrrell's, Kettle Chips, and Tesco's own premium brand so I was curious to try Red Sky.

Unfortunately these crisps are nothing special. The packaging and website makes a big deal of the "natural" virtues of these crisps, however
I certainly couldn't notice any difference by tasting them. Not that they're bad, they're just especially mediocre compared to excellent brands such as Tyrrells.

There is a certain dry blandness to these crisps that is similar to a normal packet of Walkers. Suspicions that the entire thing is a marketing exercise are raised by blurbs such as "Natural Sunflower oil" listed in the ingredients (is there any other type?).

Probably the best point about these crisps is the packet itself. That is, the material - it's a paper/foil design which has the superb property of staying in place when folded down after opening, just like a paper bag. It's very impressive and a lot of other products could benefit from this style of packaging.
