I was noticably skeptical when BCom held out the bag, because there were only a few chips remaining in the bottom, and I naturally assumed he had snagged them somewhere unmentionable or maybe stole them. But even more importantly, The Whopper holds a place of almost sacred honor in my Pantheon of Consumables, and the thought of anyone trying to infuse some of that holy essence into a potato chip was very nearly sacrilege.
But that didn't stop me from finishing the bag. And I have to say, they were really good. I mean, as chips go, I'd put these right near the top of my list just because they're a little different, and (if you can believe this,) relatively healthy too! But most important is the taste, which honestly is flame-broiled in that the smoky, delicately spiced flavor you expect on a good burger is found here in copious amounts. It's definitely missing the lettuce, tomato, ketchup, pickles and mayo that would make it a truly epic culinary delight, but again, as chips go, this salty and crunchy treasure trove from Inventure Group gets my coveted...
TERRIFIC!
BCom Says:
First of all, let me settle the issue of the nearly empty bag. I purchased these chips fair and square, and let JLam know we had something to try, and he took his dear sweet time getting his lazy butt down to my desk to try them. In the meantime, I housed those suckers.
Now, I have to begin by explaining that The Whopper is definitely a personal favorite, and I love the fact that I can have it My Way. Now, all things being equal, I like the flavor combo that the original Whopper provides, including the sharp tang of white onions spicing up each bite. But, I am in the habit of ordering a Whopper without onions any time I plan to see, hear, or interact in any way with any other human being over the next two or three days because Burger King has apparently made a pact with the Devil, and the Devil is an onion farmer.
The onions Burger King uses will cement their scent to your fingertips and your breath for eons of time, announcing to one and all that you just downed 600 calories of pure burger bliss.
That being said, I will immediately endorse Burger King Flame Broiled Potato Snacks because they are extremely tasty. And they're not dripping with grease. But, somewhere deep down in the "flame-broiled" flavor, is some dehydrated dust that was, at one time, a proud white onion. And that white onion is just waiting for the opportunity to cling like leeches to your fingertips and breath, announcing to one and all that you just ate a bag full of Whopperish Wonder.
You can't control the scent... you can only hope to contain it.
My bottom line recommendation: expect to spend $4.98 on this bag of chips. $2.99 for the bag of chips itself, and $1.99 for the rubber gloves you'll need to get through it without stinking like a Whopper. Regardless, these chips have earned our...
TERRIFIC!!!
