You may now eat your life snack. <\/p>\n<p>Well, actually, if you said &#8220;yes&#8221; to the first two questions, then you&#8217;ll probably end up enjoying this salty and tangy version of the airy potato snack. It has the same flavor you&#8217;d taste with Lay&#8217;s original and Kettle Cooked Salt &#038; Vinegar Potato Chips, and the same satisfying crispiness as all the other Lay&#8217;s Poppables.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s exactly what I expected, and I LOVED them.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, past tense.<\/p>\n<p>That deep affection from eating the first few handfuls blinded me from realizing something disheartening about Poppables \u2014 there&#8217;s not much of it in the bag.<\/p>\n<p>When I mindlessly eat regular or Kettle Cooked salt and vinegar potato chips, which happens more often than I&#8217;d like to admit, I can look into the bag after munching for a while and see that I&#8217;ve put a noticeable dent into what&#8217;s there. But there&#8217;s still a lot left. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Lays-Salt-Vinegar-Poppables-1.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lay s Salt  Vinegar Poppables 1\" title=\"Lay's Salt &#038; Vinegar Poppables 1.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With these Poppables, I did the same mindless eating, and when I checked to see how much was left, I was shocked that three-fourths of the bag was gone.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I never paid attention to how much is stuffed inside. A regular bag of Kettle Cooked has eight ounces, and standard Lay&#8217;s has 7.75. Poppables has just five.<\/p>\n<p>So that made me ask myself, &#8220;How much do I like Poppables&#8217; crispiness?&#8221; Is it enough for me to overlook the fact that I can get more salty and tangy munching satisfaction with its crunchier chip cousins?<\/p>\n<p>I took a hard look at myself in a mirror and thought I didn&#8217;t truly LOVE Lay&#8217;s Sea Salt &#038; Vinegar Poppables. I really like them, and I&#8217;d take them over any other Poppables variety, but if they ever go away, I won&#8217;t be writing a sad email to Frito-Lay.
