Advantages: Light, wavy, tasty

Disadvantages: might eat one too many

Now I've got to be honest, I'm a bit of an old stick-in-the mud when it comes to crisp preferences. I've got my favourites - Kettle Chips, Walkers plain, Pringles and I generally stick to them.

I'd had disasters with flavoured rice cakes , remained unimpressed by rice crackers, and wheat crunchies / nik naks just didn't come up to scratch. Any of those M&S or Boots low calorie offerings are a taste nightmare.

Then one day doing our regular shop , I spotted something that seemed to stand out a bit from it's crispian peers. Spelled out in flowing white letters against an idyllic rural green picture of meadows under a clear blue sky, Sunbites immediately sent the messages to the brain that these might be a healthy alternative.

Then I noticed the Wholegrain snack label. Something different again, and bonus of bonus balls sour cream and black pepper flavour. Well Sour cream's my favourite Pringle variety, and Black pepper my favourite Kettle chip, looks like I could be on to a winner. To top it all the corregated creations presented on the front were just like Bacon Frazzles of old.

~~~Taste~~~~

So the acid test. No not whether they would dissolve in glass of coke. Would they pack a punch with their crunch, would the flavours make me quaver, or would it all be just one more too good to be tasty option in a long line of crunching disappointments.

One bite was all I needed to know - they were absolutely delicious. Clearly once I'd munched my way through them in record time I knew we were going to meet again. The best way I can describe them is moreish.

~~~~Crispiness~~~~

Providing you don't manage what I did and put them in the front of your rucksack and proceed to drop the bag onto the floor you should get a good selection of large wavy tastebud ticklers. In contrast, when crushed under the weight of a laptop - they can pretty much disintegrate into a million pieces of mess - be warned!

~~~~Stats counter~~~~

So how do they stack up on the calories and fat front. Not too shabbily as it goes - 131 calories a standard 28g back 6.1G of fat, and only 0.4grammes of salt.

Multi-pack here I come!

Summary: Sunny delight :)
