If you like warm soggy chips - you'll love these !
The packaging of these chips was very wasteful. Two layers of plastic wrapping before you get to the cardboard box.
The instructions were bizarre - way too detailed and confusing. Each box has in big red text "DO NOT REMOVE FILM WRAPPING UNTIL COOKING" - what is "film wrapping" and "until cooking" - does that mean before or after it goes in the microwave? It's just poorly worded and could have just said "remove plastic wrap BEFORE cooking".
Turn the box around and you see 6 detailed instructions which are just as confusing. Even the font used was hard to read!
Once you get past the instructions and work out all you need to do is pop them in the microwave for a few minutes - the chips come out of the microwave steaming hot.
That steam - it smells something weird - like smelly boiled potato.
Then when you go to eat them you realise what you've got - smelly boiled potato cut into chips.
The chips were hot, soggy, not crunch at all and all stuck together.
Overall - not enjoyable.
Comparatively, the Birds Eye Golden Crunch Microwave Chips Crinkles were MUCH nicer.

Not crunchy as advertised at all. Very misleading! Although tasty ( when dipped into mayonnaise) the quantity is a rip-off. Not even enough for a snack for myself let alone to share them. Potatoes are so cheap therefore I would like to know the meaning of such miserly portions. McCain don’t do it again! Fix it and I’ll try them again!
Way too much packaging for such a small quantity of product. Chips ended up just hot and soggy. Only bought these to have at the office, won't buy again.
Shockingly bad... How McCain would produce something as 💩 as this is beyond me.. I only gave it a star as I couldn’t rate less...
These are pretty good. They won’t be soggy if you wait a minute after cooking. I bought them at half price which made it worth it. Agreed, but of wastage with packaging .
