Seriously, Sun Chips?

Seriously, Sun Chips? Posted on December 6, 2007

The Modern Gal made what she thought was a fabulous discovery when she approached the snack machine at work today: Cinnamon-flavored Sun Chips. Yes, please!

It is true that I love anything with a cinnamony flavor, but these remind me very much of my childhood love for Taco Bell’s Cinnamon Twists. I’ve long since given up on Taco Bell but these seemed like a fabulous substitute for the twists.

After some research, I found that the 1.5-gram bag of cinnamon Sun Chips I ate registered 200 calories, 9 grams of fat and 3 grams of dietary fiber. That’s 4 points on the Weight Watchers scale. Not horrible, but the Taco Bell treat has fewer calories and fat grams but also less fiber — also 4 points. Generally more than you want to spend on a snack. The upside is there are allegedly some 100-calorie packs of these things floating around somewhere. If you find out where, let the Modern Gal know!
