    I received the 2 packages of Popcorn Chips in the mail. My family did a taste test and the buttery flavour was overall the winner. They are more like a thin rice cake than a chip. Overall we loved them.

    I received two boxes to review; sweet and salty and butter flavours.

    Overall, my partner and I liked them as we quickly devoured both boxes, but the flavours weren't really there.
    Other products that are sweet and salty definitely have more flavour than the Special K chips, which were sweet but weren't salty. I guess they saved all of the salt for the butter ones as they were super salty to me and not buttery at all to my partner.

    The texture of them was noticeably different after being open for a day, but it actually made them more appealing to me than having just opened the bag.

    I did find it funny that they are marketing them as a chip but package them in a box. I thought of them more as crackers than anything else.

    They're a great value in terms of calories where you can eat a big handful for under 100 calories, but they aren't something I would go out of my way to buy.

    I received two boxes of the Special K Popcorn Chips to try and review.
    My men and I opened up the Sweet and Salty flavour first. We all seemed to have the same thought that there was something odd about the texture and flavour and they reminded us of something, we kept on eating them trying to figure out what it was!
    We sampled our way through the box and came to the conclusion that they were good and kept you coming back for more. We still are not sure what they remind us of but the box is empty and we are tempted to buy more to see if we can figure out what they remind us all of!
    Now the Butter flavour was a different story. The first bite of this flavour had us all frowning and putting the box down! We love salt and butter but these were SO salty no one wanted a second chip. :(
    If buying these we would recommend the Sweet and Salty over the butter but we would also recommend the Sp K Cracker chips over the popcorn chips
    Thank you for the opportunity to review!

    I got two boxes in the mail for product testing: Popcorn flavoured and Sweet and Salty -

    WOW as soon as I ate a Popcorn one I immediately spat it out. SALT OVERLOAD to the max! I put them away and ate some fruit, then got the box out again. That seemed to help. Now I could taste the popcorn flavour and I did like it, but the salt is far too strong and overshadows the popcorniness. The corn part of the chip (cornchip base) helped to bring out the popcorn flavour but greatly added to the need for water.

    I feel like every 3 or 4 chips I eat I need a drink real bad, too. The fact they are so low in calories is good because honestly I don't think I could eat the whole 20 chip count to get to 80 calories.

    For a few days I have been munching on the popcorn ones, but not out of want, more out of oral fixation needs. I definitely won't be buying these in store.

    Sweet and salty ones, your times to shine is coming later today..

    The sweet and salty ones are now our backup firestarter incase we can't find kindle.. That is the only realistic application we can find for these cardboard crackers unfortunately. It was hella fun experimenting though!

    I really didn't enjoy these too much. The butter flavour was very good but the sweet and salty flavour was a strange flavour. I dont think i would purchase these.

    First i would like to thank Chick Advisor for the free samples! I was a little mislead at first. The butter flavour was ok. I was not a fan of the sweet and salty at all. I would probably not purchase them in the future. I did not really enjoy them. Not crazy about the taste or texture of them! With the sweet and salty i found them to be more sweet then salty! I am the kind of person who prefers either or not together! The butter ones were the better of the two they taste like eating popcorn! I cant really say i would recommend them.

    The butter flavour tasted more like margerine, but I liked that it was a nice strong, salty flavour. The sweet and salty flavour was nice but so little of it they didn't taste of much. Overall, they were a nice light snack and much healthier than other tortilla chips. I'd like to see them make a plain salted flavour, like tortilla chips. I think that would be nice with salsa or guacamole.

    I received a free sample to try, so I can't comment on price but if it's in the range of their cracker crisps I'd consider buying them if they were on sale.

    I received a free box of special k popcorn chips Sweet and salty flavour and butter flavour. They remind me of the cracker chips but much harder on the jaw. After about two servings of them, my jaw hurt so I had to stop eating them...I suppose it is a great way to keep calories in check! The taste was average. I expected the flavour to be a little better. I probably would not buy these unless they were on a super sale. I enjoy that cracker chips much more than the popcorn chips.

    I received the Special K Popcorn Chips in Butter and Sweet and Salty flavours from Chickadvisor to review.

    The texture of the Popcorn Chips is very similar to rice cakes so, the texture was good. I have to say though, I wasn't a huge fan of the sweet and salty flavour, it was a strange flavour combination in my opinion. The buttery flavour though was quite good and was my preference between the two.

    I already eat a lot of mini rice cakes and potato thins in place of chips because of the snackability and low calorie count. Special K Popcorn Chips fall into the same category for me but, I'd like to see what other flavours they come up with as neither of these would have me running to the store to buy them on a regular basis.

    I will say though, as a person who has lost a significant amount of weight in the last 18 months, these are really filling and diet friendly. If you want something to quickly munch on at home and not worry about an expanding waist line this would definitely be a great product for you.
