Utz Potato Chips

Utz

So what made me pick up this bag of chips? Was it the creep girl on the package? Was it the cool fact that they don't spell the name of the company with any upper case letters? Nope, it was simply the fact that here at candy critic (thought I'd try no capitols too) we have not one reviewed treat that starts with the letter U. I've been looking for a while too, so just seeing these made me smile.

The chips themselves where ok, just ok, and maybe a little greasy for my liking. The little bag of them was ok, but I couldn't have possibly eaten a large bag. I'm not sure if this is a cheap chip thing but some chips just have this greasy taste that really turns me off. The grease flavour seems to overtake the actual taste of the potato and that's not good at all. I'm actually a big fan of the flavour of potatoes and I've been known to eat fries plain.

So it's a victory for the alphabetical portion of Candy Critic but a bit of a disappointment for the taste buds.
