Just one word of caution, don't eat a whole bag in one sitting because (aside from the clogged arteries) you will lose sensation in your tongue and won't be able to taste food properly for days afterwards! lol If you haven’t tried Miss Vickie’s Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar chips, you don’t know what you’re missing!!!!!

This could be dangerous as they are so damb tasty. I know crisps are not in the slightest bit good for you but theres something about sensations that keeps me wanting more. Probably the MSG but i have to admit the flavours are so true to what it says on the packet. I had sweet chilli today which are gorgeous and somehow when i buy sensations they seem better for you than the other crisps (at least I tell myself that). The oven roasted chicken with lemon and thyme actually remind me of a fresh from the oven chicken so much that i feel like the kid in willy wonka who eats the magic gobstopper and thinks she can taste the warm soup running down her throat. Oh Walkers also have pretty funny adverts for them too. If you do have the chance go for it. Forget about the calories and enjoy!

I'm pretty sure I haven't seen them before; but if I keep an eye out, I know they'll turn up somewhere.

And I still think Herr's salt & vinegar is the best on the market (with Cape Cod a close second, but really a different style). I think that the Snyder's of Berlin kettle chips (the ones that have good BBQ, jalapeno, and Hawaiian Onion) has had steak & onion, but may have pulled it from the market - I don't think I've seen it in a couple years. Kettle Chips - whose Krinkle Salt & Pepper is my favorite chip of all - has a lot of unusual flavors: Thai curry, Tuscan bruschetta (or something like that - Italian and cheese is the concept). Plus, the company runs a fleet of biodiesel VW Bugs off its waste oil, and runs its plant on solar (like, a huge % of its total electricity usage). Good chips, good company.
