friday night's alright for CHIPS

Tonight I was hanging out alone and I thought, what better to keep me company than a little Till Debt Do Us Part and some chips. This evening's offering is the Sun Chips Garden Salsa variety. Let's dive right in, shall we?






Taste (5/10)
I must say that I'm usually a fan of Sun Chips. They remind me of summer and are highly enjoyable with a nice sandwich. The taste within the Garden Salsa chip however, was in my opinion, sorely lacking. It just wasn't salsa-y enough. Enough said.

Crunch (6.5/10)
The crunch was good, but not as good as say, a Ms Vicki's variety. Crunch is probably one of the most important categories for a true chip 'sommelier', if you will. If a chip doesn't crunch right, it's just not a good chip. The Sun Chips GS were just average. I'm looking for more.

Thickness (7/10)
Chips makers must be able to successfully flirt with the thin/thick line in order to deliver the best chip experience possible. The makers of Sun Chips have some room for growth here. 

Packaging (5/10)
The colours on the packaging were nice, but the pictures really left something to be desired. Salsa was depicted exactly nowhere on the chip bag. What the fuck, Sun Chips, seriously. I should have known right then that tonight would be a disappointment.

Final Grade: C+


Ahoy matey(s)!

Good evening chip lovers. Welcome to the one place on the internet dedicated to telling the truth about chips. This blog will document my attempt to eat all of the chips and to seek out the best of the best flavours and brands for you, the reader/eater to enjoy.

The judgement categories for each chip variety will include only the essentials: taste, crunch, thickness, and of course, package aesthetics. My goal in this heavy undertaking is to provide a reference for the aspiring chip connoisseur that will help them to navigate the stormy seas of chip enjoyment.
