  • Consumer report: Low fat snacks still not as tasty as regular versions
January 29, 2008
To see whether potato chips and cheese crunchies, those quintessential Super Bowl snacks, can lose their fat but keep their taste, we compared regular versions with some lower-calorie, lower-fat, or multigrain cousins. We also dipped the tortilla chips to see which put up the best defense against salsa and which snapped.

What we found. Snack makers still haven't found a way to cut lots of fat and maintain great taste. The baked snacks, though much lower in fat, were least tasty.
