I have tried them. I have re-tried them. And have now tried them twice since starting WW since they
come up periodically. There is something wrong with them - they taste OFF.

Pretzels I like and salted peanuts and salt tablets and REAL chips. And tonight, salted baked
potato, salted broiled halibut and salted broc and cauli. Just skip the wow chips.

Baked Lays and Baked Doritos though, they are tasty and no funny taste to them.

I just can't get the things down. Like Fred, they just feel funny too me, and also have an adverse
reaction with my system. Although, might be something to keep in mind for solving some systemic
problems. <G> I do like the fat free pringles though, but still don't reach for them as I did in the
past. I'm one of those persons that CAN eat one or two - and be perfectly happy.

Fat free Pringles? That sounds good. How many points per serving?

1 point even, per 1 oz serving (about 15 chips) ... 70calories/0g fat/2g fiber. Now my son thinks
that 1 container = 1 serving, but a tube lasts ME over a week.
<G> I love the things, have found sour cream and onion, and regular - but have noticed the past few
weeks they are getting harder and harder to find. Seems my stores are now stocking reduced fat,
which log in at 140 calories - much more than I'm willing to allow.
