"Cheap-looking ‘fun time’ packaging, but who really cares?"
"They taste like flowers. Flowers and nuts. Not actually that bad, but wtf?"
"Dipability: They’re thin, so don’t expect them to come out in one piece."
"Very edible chips, but the mystery taste might drive you crazy."

"I think there’s a picture on the front of a lobster swimming in a pool of sour cream on top of a giant chip. Marks for that."
"There’s a vague flavour, maybe it’s salsa."
"Dipability: Who cares, these chips are nothing to me."
"A chip that aims for nothing and achieves it."

"Strong, mildly disturbing taste. Small, easy to eat a lot"
"Not good, but no breakages, maybe because I do not have sausage-like fingers like Mandroid."
"Fed Latin Rhythm’s chips to Claude, who liked it but didn’t love it."

"As a premium brand, ETA should be able to do better- the packaging is rather cliché- lacks the imagination to lack the imagination to go past the guacamole motif"
"Imitation capsicum flavour- mmmm. Chip size is a little small, but crunchy."
"Too small for dipping- one I tried broke not once, not twice, but three times during a dip!!!"
"I originally wrote "I wouldn’t donkey punch these fuckers" but on reflection, I might have been getting to the end of my tether with the corn chip reviewing. Still not a good chip though."

"Appearance and Packaging: If your party is 80’s-themed, these will fit right in."
"Flavoursome. Weird-ass taste – they’re sweet, salty and pretty much everything. I like them okay."
"These are good chips. The gimmick works."

"Appearance and Packaging: An odd combination of orange, purple, and red. There is a pointless picture of chips beside a clear window where you can see actual chips."
"The flavour is pretty decent. I can’t say it’s definitely the taste of salsa and cheese, but what it is isn’t horrible."
"I didn’t hate these chips, and that’s really saying something."

"Salty aftertaste??? Is "Zingy" but is that a plus?"
"Over curled - not dipable at all!"
"Contains: Maltodextrin which it turns out is not currently considered carcinogenic- but I’m not entirely convinced."
"Final Rating: 3 out of 7- conditional on maltodextrin’s continued status as a harmless additive."

"Okay packaging, but by far the worst brand name for anything ever."
"I kind of like the taste – it’s sort of biscuity or crackery. Weird spicy aftertaste that tastes nothing like chilli and lime. Where is the lime?"
"If you’re a GM-free nature creep, you’re probably better off just eating the earth from the ground."
"1/10 Like I said, I think the taste is okay – but you’d have to be pretty tragically retarded to buy them at that price."

"Garden of Eatin’? You fucking idiots. You’re not making it easy by combining the battle of selling organic corn chips with the worst brand name I think I’ve ever heard. There’s a long ramble on the back about how great they are. It ends with "We’re so proud of them. And we think you will be too". Dude, I’m sampling 37 packs of corn chips for a web site no one will read. I don’t feel proud of anything."
"I can sort of taste chilli and lime, but if wasn’t written on the packet I would have missed it."
"You may feel virtuous at the check out counter, but get them home and try them and you’ll feel like a chump."

"Pseudo Mexican, fair trade my arse, and the dammed bag is clear again, clearly appearance is more important than freshness, for all their apparent concern for the consumer et al. I wish these American hippies were dead."
"Pale, large triangle chip. Neutral aftertaste. Spicy flavour but where is the lime?""Dipability: Guacamole: Unpleasant. Mince and bean: holds well, spicy"
"Pretentious fucking shits."

"The orange and yellow pack could almost be considered retro-cool. Almost. No window to clue you in that these aren’t corn chips in the traditional sense."
"The flavour is passable until you swallow. They melt in a quite disturbing way."
"Dipability: Forms an unholy alliance with any flavour."
"$2.26 for 100 grams. The chips are light, but still pricey."
"15 out of 1000. They got 15 marks for not poisoning me, lost 985 for being shit."

"Filthy yellow coloured bag."
"Puffy chip, unpleasant, taste akin to a sachet of chicken flavouring."
"Dipability: Mince: Fucking horrible, reminds me of Napoleon’s Retreat from Moscow. I refuse to type the rest of this out as the over-sweet aftertaste makes a mockery of the whole exercise. Good value, if have shit taste and usually would burn your money like a sun-crazed millionaire."

"Appearance and Packaging: Sickly greeny-yellow and orange is hideous seventies throwback."
"Flavour and Texture: Strong salt and vinegar, which I hate. These aren’t really corn chips. They look puffy and gross, like a drowning victim."
"Dipability: It goes all mushy and weird when you dip it. I actually prefer this style to the straight chip."
"Well, they aren’t actually corn chips. In fact, as far as we can tell there isn’t any corn in them at all. There may be traces of nuts, but no corn at all. They make a point of saying this on the packet. Huh."
"2/10 Not the worst thing I’ve ever eaten, but … they’re not corn chips."

"The pack is a really tacky green and yellow. There’s an asterix on the large "Corn Chips" emblazoned on the front of the pack. The reference says that corn represents all wheat varieties. So I don’t know what the hell I’m eating. They wisely hide the fact that these aren’t actual corn chips by not including a clear window."
"Well, for what it is, which isn’t a corn chip in the standard sense, it isn’t very good. An extremely over done abrasive flavour. The way the chip kind of melts in the mouth is nice. But when I thought about it, it seemed like an eerily unnatural thing for a wheat-based product to be doing."
"Dipability: Ungodly. The effect with guacamole is of a heavily salted lemon, which made my eyes water. With anything else it was more like something that just shouldn’t be than actively disgusting. They didn’t break though. Clap clap."
"$2.26 for 100 grams. Volume-wise you get quite a lot, each chip seems to be made up of half air."
"0 out of 1000. As a corn chip, it wasn’t one. So a zero score is what it’s getting."

"70s Lime Green, small boy’s chips…Corn disclaimer, but what is corn?"
"Fucking strong flavour, puffed chip, this sir, is no corn chip"
"Dipability: Guacamole: Almost mutes over-strong flavour but not quite….so disturbing that I refuse to rate any further dips, as they all taste like crap on this alleged chip."
"$2.26/100g….SHIT VALUE UNLESS YOU CAN NOT AFFORD SALT."
"Note: this chip may well stop goitres."
