M&S and Asda machines work ok on light items like diet hot-choc (22g?)
Try a bag of Seabrook's crisps, screws up every time or maybe the
machine's trying to tell me something....

I 'like' Seabrook's (plain (salted)) crisps.

Not that I use crisps on a regular basis.

For those who live in a Seabrook's free zone, they do internet order boxes
at a not-unreasonable price - and you get to choose the mix of flavours.

(thought I'd mention it since I was recently surprised to see Walkers
being
sold at 50p a bag, which just seems wrong to me).


Before you get too excited about how nice Seabrook's crisps are,
compare the fat content, and especially the saturated fat content.

Walkers have done a lot to reduce fat/salt content in recent years.

Bag of Seabrooks: 31.8g

9.7g fat, of which 1.1g is saturated. 2.7g mono-unsaturated, 5.5g
poly-unsaturated.

They've always been fried in sunflower oil as long as I can remember, which
would explain that.

Sodium 0.3g.

Bag of Walkers: 34.5g

11.7g fat, of which 0.9g saturated, 9.3g mono-unsaturated, 1.0g
poly-unsaturated.
Sodium 0.2g.

So, despite all those efforts, they aren't really better on the fat content,
and not much better on salt.
