From The TESR Test Kitchen

If you've ever seen Zapp's chips, you've noticed that they're the cheap chips. And, as a result, they're usually at the far end of the chip aisle, as though they might contaminate Fritos, Lays, Doritos, et al from proximity alone.



A new flavor caught our eyes, "Sea Salted SWEET POTATO CHIPS." "All Natural," the bag boasts. For those who've missed it, there's a push towards yams these days in the place of potatoes. You'll notice it in the frozen food aisle where you'll find sweet potato fries right next to the regular ones.

The back of the package looked promising, boasting, as it does, of things like:


cholesterol free
kosher certified
no preservatives
no wheat glutens
no artificial sweeteners
no artificial colors
no artificial flavors
0g trans fat

But all the promises are quickly forgotten once you open the bag and taste.

Cardboard. Limp cardboard at that.

We've had sweet potato chips. We know what they taste like. This tasted like they were only partially cooked or stale. (We tried three bags to be sure this was the standard taste.)

We do not recommend this for anyone.
