Popchips?

Has anybody tried these? They're marketed as a low-calorie, low-fat alternative to potato chips. 17 chips, 100 calories, about 4 grams of fat. Are these really any healthier than regular chips? I am not necessarily looking to eat a strict 100% healthy diet right away (because I'd cave in after about a day), just HEALTHIER than before.

    My husband loves these! I don't think they're much 'better' for you than regular potato chips. They're certainly just as bad in the sodium department. What I do like about them though, if he's needing a salty/crunchy fix, I can get them in little single serve bags and that seems to do the trick for him.

    I really like them. They are lower in fat than potato chips so they are better in that aspect but at the end of the day they're still processed but I use them as a salty snack substitue. I've also jsut discovered baked kettle chips which are also really good!

    I love the taste and texture, but then again, I prefer Baked Lays to regular chips (mmm.... salt delivery mechanism).

    I got hooked on them last year when I was traveling 2 hours each way to school. Nice and crunchy to keep me awake in the car :wink:

    They're a lot lower in fat and calories than regular chips. They're also delicious. I eat them sometimes when I'm feeling chippish.

    I eat them very sparingly because I am trying to eat as clean as possible.

    I don't like them...they taste like flavored Styrofoam. It's the texture that I dislike more than anything else. But I'm not a big salty snack eater anyway, so I can have a couple Doritos and not go overboard.

    They're freaking amazing. My best friend lives in a small town 5 hours away and they don't sell them anywhere near her, so I send them to her in bulk. Love love love them when I just NEED that salty snack!

    I eat them and love them!! They are better calorie wise than regular chips and I love how they don't make my fingers greasy afterward like potato chips do to my hands.

    I personaly think they are nasty! I much prefer whole grain wheat thins or pistachios. More cals and fat...but much better flavor! And a little more of my friend...fiber!

    I actually like the taste of them. I've only tried the salt and pepper though. They're also fewer calories because they're mostly air :P
