I`m a really big crisp fan and consume loads, so when I decided to cut back on my calorie intake I decided to find a low calorie alternative.

I purchased a 5 pack of these for £1.49 from my local supermarket, which I thought was a bit expensive as there was 6 bags of my favourite brand next to them for 99p. Bearing in mind a usual multibag offering is 25g, these have 18 grams in.

But they were available in salt & vinegar (multibag of 5) and cheese and onion (multibag of 5)

On holding the opened bag in my hand, I thought the packaging was great fun, bright cheerful and couldnt wait.

I actually thought to myself there was nothing in the bag and actually went off to weigh it. On opening I was surprised there was so many in and I immediately thought of twiglets, they were long and weedy looking and in a not to appertising brown colour. But the salt and vinegar smell was strong so I tucked in.

I know they wouldnt taste as good as my normal snack , but they tasted of cardboard (I have actually tasted cardboard, why I dont remember), Cardboard sticks with salt and vinegar all over to disguise the cardboardy taste.

I couldnt eat many, I thought they were that bad. Perhaps it worked for me, it put me off eating for a bit, so I had a smaller calorie intake.

The writing on the bag advertises "irresistable baked crunchy sticks" , irresistable would be the furthest thing from my mind.
