    They had more of a chip/cracker texture then popcorn. That was kind of misleading.
    The buttery flavor did not have enough flavour on them. They tasted bland. I would have liked twice the amount of flavour on those.
    I liked that they we a healthier option and didnt feel guilty about eating them!
    The sweet flavour kind of reminded me of caramel corn. They were very addicitive.
    I have a 5 year old who got into the boxes as well and he loves the sweet flavour but did not care for the butter flavour.
    I would purchase them again if there were coupons offered and/or they were on sale.

    I received a box of each flavour (butter and sweet & salty) to test and rate so here goes.

    I love the fact that both are low in calories and fat, have a crunchy texture, and make a great snack.

    The Sweet & Salt taste a great deal like kettle corn. I'm not a fan of kettle corn but these actually grew on me while the Butter flavour was the opposite. I immediately preferred the butter flavour but I found them overpowering after long.

    Ingredients: I really liked that neither product contains wheat (although they are undoubtedly made in a factory that make gluten containing products). While the Sweet & Salty ones are made of standard easy to pronounce ingredients (including icing sugar), I really didn't like the fact that the Butter ones contains palm oil as well as several additives.

    Final result: I would purchase the Sweet & Salty on occasion but think I will steer clear of the Butter.

    Glad I got to try these from chickadvisor.
    I liked the sweet and salty better than the butter flavour. The fact that they are low in calories is a plus point. They are crispy which I was not expecting. I at first did not like the butter flavour, but it surely grows on you but I still prefer the sweet and salty. The butter flavor felt a little strong where as the sweet and salty seemed to lack the seasoning.
    My son also enjoye them as his school snack.
    I would buy the sweet and salty ones. I munched half the bag at work.

    I received these boxes as part of a product review giveaway and what a great prize! These tasted great and at only 80 calories for 20 chips make for a great snack for those watching their diet. There was a lot of flavour to these little chips, a lot more than I expected. I do find it hard to stay at the suggested serving of only 20 chips but its still a better snack than chips. The price has scared me off of trying these before now and this is probably not something I will buy unless it's on sale or I have a coupon. Overall this is a great snack and much better than a lot of rice cakes and rice crackers, out on the market right now.

    I tried the sweet and salty box of these chips, and I love the fact that there's only 80 calories for 20 chips, because I can pop a lot of these in my mouth when I am in the mood for some munchies. They are a convenient box of snacks to have by yourself or to share with others as you can't just eat one. The flavour was not too overwhelming so that you can taste the popcorn flavour. There's a lot of crunch when you bite into one, and it almost feels like a light tortilla corn chip.

    I try to write honest reviews as much as possible, even when products are generously sent to me. I received two boxes of Special K Popcorn Chips as part of the product review club, Butter and Sweet and Salty flavour. The chips are packaged in a sealed bag within a cardboard box, which helps prevent breakage. The chips themselves are thin and triangular in shape.

    My views on Special K Popcorn chips are based on my experience with another, popular round shaped popcorn chip. I LOVE the Butter flavour the other brand offers, and the "crunch" of the chips, which are slightly thicker. Had I have not tried these first, I would have also liked the Special K chips. However, I couldn't help but compare the two, and the Special K flavour tastes flat in comparison, and that "crunch" just isn't the same. They did taste lovely with some dip on the side.

    The Sweet and Salty variety wasn't a good fit for me flavour wise, but I also cannot get over the taste of kettle corn. My husband, on the other hand, loved the flavour and preferred the Special K Popcorn Chips over the other brand. A friend of mine tried them as well, and she really liked the Sweet and Salty flavour.

    I would say, try them, see if you like them for yourself. They are definitely more of a "chip", while my other favourite is basically a mini rice cake, so it may not be fair to compare the two!

    I received my sample box and I was excited to try these. I enjoyed the sweet and salty flavour. I found the butter flavour tasted almost artificial. Overall, Special K Popcorn Chips are a great low calorie snack for anyone craving something crunchy to munch on.

    Thank you Chickadvisor for allowing me to review this product through the Product Review Club.

    I received two boxes of Kellogg's Special K Popcorn chips. Butter flavour and Sweet & Salty flavour.

    From an appearance standpoint, they look similar to Doritos with their triangular shape but they have a denser texture similar to rice cakes. In fact, they remind me a lot of the Quaker Oats rice snacks which are mini flavoured rice cakes.

    I found the Butter flavour to be a little too salty for my taste but I really enjoyed the Sweet and Salty flavour. However, I find the packaging a little dangerous as I know I would likely eat the entire box. I'm not sure how much a box costs but if it's comparable to a small bag of chips, I might be inclined to choose these over potato chips when I feel like something different.

    It's a pretty tasty product overall.

    I received a box of butter flavor and sweet and salty free to try. Both were a big hit in my house. I preferred the butter flavor ones but my kids enjoyed both. I like that they are crunchy. I also love that they are low calorie. I have lost 80 lbs in the last year so calories and health are very important to me. I would definitely buy these.
