"The sour cream tastes like somebody hid it behind a wall heater for a month. They taste rotten and gross."
"You can still taste the decay, no matter what you dip it in, though it does mute it a little. But now the dip is tainted."
"These taste mouldy and filthy."

"Crappy green, stupid penguin, bad punctuation. These are the only Mexican Sour Cream flavoured chips on the market. There’s big excitement around the table for these after endless cheese and salsa chips."
"Mexican sour cream did I just say? Way to let us all down CC’s. These taste like a plain chip to me. A plain chip with an aftertaste of rotten cheese."
"Well, if you use a lot of dip you can get the taste of rot out of your mouth."
"If I ever saw actual Mexican sour cream at the supermarket, these chips have convinced me to try burning it."
"Craptacular."

"Flavour and Texture: Sour cream comes though nicely."
"Dipability: Mince: Spicy. Guacamole: goes poorly, aftertaste bad. Salsa: bleah"
"Other Comments: Claude stayed down and refused to beg. Latin Rhythm the working man is one with nature. Finger_Of_DOOM likes this not "You can’t eat soap". (What the fuck are you talking about? –ed.)

"Probably the brownest package we’ve seen so far. Foil. Catch phrase is an imitation of Mexican peasant with poor grammar: ‘Only CC’s ees tasting like thees’. Even I’m offended by that, and I hate Mexicans." (He doesn’t mean it –ed.)
"It seems pretty much random whether you’ll get a flavoured chip or a plain one. I think they just spray the BBQ crystals on the top layer of chips at the factory. The flavoured chips don’t taste very good, so this is a mixed blessing, but I’d rather be sure in advance if it’s going to suck or not."
"I am not impressed. It tastes a little like toxic waste when you dip it in guacamole. I don’t know what these other chumps are talking about."
"Bad. They’re price-gouging people with tiny stomachs."
"I think all BBQ chips just suck, no matter how tangy you make them."

"The stupid penguin is back. The packet is the colour of Montezuma’s revenge, which is appropriately Mexican."
"A tangy BBQ flavour that isn’t like burning, then nothing. It tastes like something, not something good, but there’s something there."
"$1.56 for 100 grams. These are good chips for nachos, but if you’re cooking in bulk for your posse, or are incredibly fat, you might want to pick something cheaper."
"A serviceable chip, but nothing great."

"Shit brown packaging."
"All sizes of chip, mostly broken. Flavour not too strong, pleasant."
"Guacamole: compliments other flavour well, no flavour too strong. Mince and bean: 3 breakages, aftertaste too strong."
"Value for Money: Strictly snack only."

"Who is CC? The mystery makes me hungry, so the packaging does its job. New and improved, apparently."
"Well, if this is new and improved I guess I’m glad I wasn’t around for the previous incarnation. The feeling that you dodged a bullet might get you through the darker times of this chip. And there are a few – the flavour seems to vary wildly between chips. CRAZY."
"They snap pretty easy for a thickish chip. Huh."
"Value for Money: Super bad. If you’re a serious chip eater, you’ll probably want to opt for something that comes in a bigger bag, and if you’re a big money fan you’ll want to buy something cheaper."
"Tasty is a dubious claim. Even if you read it as a description as opposed to a superlative, then it’s pretty random whether the chips actually do have taste."

"The bright red packaging really does scream ‘Zing’. Foily."
"Flavour: Pretty fucking ordinary for something that promises zing."
"Their total lack of zing makes them dipable, but that’s not what you’re paying for here. Something that advertises itself as zingy has to get by on that."

"The penguin does not make me smile no matter how much it capers about."
"The texture is okay, but a bit insubstantial. The chip does taste vaguely of salsa, but of zing there is no sign."
"They’re weak chips, not really designed for dips. The dips they managed to scoop without breaking were treated nicely."
"$1.36 for 100 grams. Truly, these are the rich man’s chip."
"It elevates above the muck, but not by much."

"In marketing speak- red is symbolic of sex, but in this case, it is probably symbolic of salsa. …or could it be both?"
"These chips have a great texture, but this is let down by a taste that is less-than-zingy."
"Small chips mean dippers are likely to get a little on the tips of their fingers (which I particularly hate) and no curl means less volume of dip to chip- I’m not really sure about the physics of this, but as a veteran chip eater, I know this to be true."

"Yellow. Everything is bright yellow, from the packet to the chips."
"Nutty. Eta makes peanut butter, so I guess that makes sense. I’m not really picking up much cheese flavour, so I guess most of the yellow colour is just special effects."
"If you want sprinkles in your dip, go nuts."
"The mystery nut taste makes me crazy."

"The chips look extremely processed, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing after eating countless natural-looking, but tasteless, corn chips. And the packet doesn’t go for the Luddite look either."
"It’s a processed chip that tastes slightly of processed cheese. And they’re a bit doughy."
"I thought maybe these would be the unabashedly unhealthy but addictive chips I’ve been waiting for, but the search for the Pringles of corn chips continues."

"Pretty budget, but some thought in strictly yellow colour code- allowing drunken fools like myself to chose cheese flavour when highly intoxicated."
"Texture is not good. Even tried sucking on chip. Flavour levels are lacking."
"These chips are too small- I decided not to even waste the dip by trying to dip these."
"So bland, they would not even be ok when drunk- which was basically their only good point anyway."
