Sour cream and onion suits Popchips reasonably well. The creamy tang doesn’t require the intense surface contact that vinegar needs. It registers through the lighter texture without losing itself.
The flavour is standard sour cream and onion. That familiar profile that every brand offers, competently executed. Nothing to distinguish Popchips’ version from any other except the base format.
The popped texture provides adequate delivery. Crunch, flavour release, dissolution. The eating experience is satisfying in a lighter way than fried crisps provide.
For sour cream and onion fans watching calories, these work. The flavour survives the format. The compromise is acceptable.
