Everyone's getting in on the thin crisps lately. Jacobs (yum), Ritz (eh), and now Walkers have introduced Sensations Crispy Thins. They're like Sensations, but crispy and thin. Which is exactly what Sensations are... Hmm.
These may have a few flavours, but I only saw the Thai Sweet Chilli, which is no bad thing as that's a good flavour of Sensation. Unfortunately, it doesn't transfer over too well. It's not all bad, these things certainly are thin and crispy, a little Cheeselet like in texture (though not as much as the Ritz versions), they're a little crumbly but they do have quite a satisfying crunch and are somewhat filling. But the flavour is just disappointing. The regular crisps have a lovely spicy kick, but these just lack any real heat. Sure, some came through after making my way through most of the bag, and then these did taste alright, but I was left hankering for some spice that just wasn't delivered. These may be a healthier alternative to crisps, but I think I'll stick with the original Sensations if I have to sacrifice the actual flavour. These aren't truly awful, but they are bland. Jacobs still hold the title as my favourite cracker crisps.
My rating: 2/5
I thought the Jacobs cracker crisps were absolutely excellent as well
