Katy Perry Pop Chips

I have seen pop chips around the main supermarkets for a while, but I have never seen Katy Perry's flavour, which I saw her push on a chat show months ago. I have only ever seen the normal flavours, salt and vinegar, salted etc 

Well the other half came home with a surprise for me. He had managed to find some, at a sainsburys in Kings Lynn of all places. Brilliant! Lets get tasting. 

So the packaging is a little different on this one, there is a pink/purple colour theme and the photos of the chips have sparkles on them. I guess that is down to this being something that Katy (apparently) came up with herself. 

The magical thing about popchips is that they are to quote the packet " Never fired and never baked" making them healthier, it says on the back of the packet that about 22 chips is roughly 128 calories. Not sure if that is good or not to be honest. 


On to the best part the tasting, upon opening the packet they do not have a smell they just smell bland which is not a great start, lets hope they taste better than they smell. 

They chips themselves don't have the most appealing appearance, basically from what I can gather they made from whole grain corn. Which I am guessing has been popped! So really I'm eating flat popcorn. 




Now these are sweet and salty, you can really really really taste the sweet aspect, it hit my taste buds as soon as I put a chip in my mouth. Not so much on the salty side though. I feel that the sweetness overrides everything else. You do get a little after taste of the salty covering, but nothing to shout home about. 

I have noticed one thing though, that as I have been writing this I have been eating them, they are so moreish! The lower down the packet you get the more you can taste the flavours, I guess I should have shook the bag first? 

I think these would be great if you are having a movie night in or a party as it is something different. 

I think if I had the chance I would buy these again, I can't really find anything bad to say about them. Well there is one thing - They don't put enough in the packets!
