Well they look like Twisties, nobbly, yellow, crispy ...
But a slightly closer look reveals a texture that's a little bit more "coated" than your average Twistie. Now if only blogs had aroma attached! Oh well, we'll have to do it visually!

Okay, you're right, I knew right from the beginning that they wouldn't taste like Twisties - the big pineaple on the pack was a bit of a giveaway. Oh and the "Fruity Series" graphic! : )

Put it all together and you get pineapple flavoured Twistie-like snacks.
So what did they taste like? An interesting tart but sweet yet a touch salty. The closest thing I can equate it with is a chinese preserved lemon peel in taste but crisp. Would I buy them again? Probably not but they sure made me crave some real Twisties! : )

They weren't too bad actually, would have been nice dipped in whipped cream but you couldn't eat a lot of them the way you can down an entire bag of twisties!
ReplyDeleteHaha pineapple chips! How very strange (but at the same time intriguing and would I try some? you bet!)
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting but not right! There doesn't seem to be any actual pineapple in the packet either (but flavour enhancer 621 [MSG] is well represented).
ReplyDeleteOh - my - goodness ! How funny. Where on EARTH do you find these things????
ReplyDeleteHB, these things seem to find me! He he!
