The trade off is they tend to get less of the product for the same price: a 4-ounce box carries a regular price of $3.69 at my local supermarket, which is the same as a 9-ounce box of Triscuits.
So just what is a cracker chip? According to the box, "they're not quite a cracker, and not just a chip." They remind me a bit of shrimp chips if you've ever tried those. If not, cracker chips are like air-puffed chips made of potatoes and brown rice flour. They're fairly similar in texture to Popchips.
The flavor offers a tangy, seasoned, light creaminess with underlying notes of potatoes. I didn't really get a sense of the nuttiness of the brown rice. It's not bad, but it's not something I'd crave.
Overall, they're are just okay for me. I liked the popcorn chips version a lot better, because they actually taste like popcorn and these don't taste like crackers or chips. Also, between these and the Triscuits at the same price, I'd rather go for the Triscuits.

Hey, I love your food reviews and I think this blog is great! I just wish you had some sort of rating system with your food reviews to make it easier to know if you would recommend an item or if you would totally pass on it. Just a thought!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteThe idea of a rating system has been brought up now and again, but I worry that it'd be inconsistent, basically because if you asked me if you'd like it, I'd answer, "It depends... on your tastes, likes, etc."
Also, the last sentence of each review will usually give you a sense of whether or not i'd recommend or pass on an item.
I'm not saying I'd never do one though...
Mmmm.... These are brilliant
