Sensations Black Pepper & Lime Flavour



Looking back we've been going with a lot of brand name chips so far here. This time, we've chosen to go with a little bit more of a generic brand this time, selecting Compliments branded chips from Sobeys.

Done well, black pepper and lime can be a great flavour. It's a little less prevalent than other flavours,but what kind of a review site would we be if we didn't branch out a little bit?

Right from the moment we opened the bag, these had a nice smell to them. Not too strong, but not too subtle. The first bite starts out a little sweet, but then you get the lime flavour and it erases any hints of that sweetness. The lime flavour is subtle, but noticeable. It's not overpowering, like fake lime flavour sometimes tends to be. The black pepper flavour is there, too, and it compliments the lime nicely. Being kettle cooked chips, these had a pretty good crunch to them. Better than some, but not as good as others. It was pretty middle-of-the-road - enough to satisfy, but sort of left us wishing for a bit more.

Aside from Will whining about not liking lime flavour in general, the only real complaint about these was from Michelle, that she kept expecting the tortilla chip aftertaste instead of the potato chip aftertaste. Which is hardly a complaint.

Final verdict: would buy again.
