We&#8217;ll just put both of our cards on the table.  Of course, some cards are bigger than others, and unfortunately, theirs were bigger.  However, just as unsightly as my naked body is, these potato chips&#8230;I mean, potato crisps were just as unflattering.<\/p>\n<p>You know how, &#8220;once you pop, you can&#8217;t stop&#8221; with regular potato chips, I didn&#8217;t get that feeling with these.  I guess it&#8217;s like when wild animals get the taste of human blood, it&#8217;s all they crave, and that&#8217;s the way I feel about potato chips.  They taste much better than these Brothers-All-Natural Potato Crisps and it will be very hard to convince me otherwise.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like when your doctor tells you have to stop drinking regular Pepsi, and then you start drinking Diet Pepsi to try and replace it, but it just isn&#8217;t the same.  What I&#8217;m trying to say is, the Brothers-All-Natural Potato Crisps are like the diet cola of potato chips.  You won&#8217;t like the taste at first, but you&#8217;ll eventually get used to it, because you have to.<\/p>\n<p>The Brothers-All-Natural Potato Crisps comes in four flavors:  Original with Sea Salt, Black Pepper and Sea Salt, Fresh Onion and Garlic, and Szechuan Pepper and Fresh Chives.  I tried the last two flavors and I wasn&#8217;t impressed with either of them.  The flavor was very light and was only there during the first couple of chews, but after that it disappears and they end up tasting sort of like Baked Lay&#8217;s potato chips.<\/p>\n<p>According to the packaging, the potatoes go through a revolutionary freeze-drying process that gently removes the water to lock in nutrients naturally found in potatoes while preserving the flavor.  The potato crisps seemed very fragile, like my ego and Precious Moments figurines, but were surprisingly durable.  Freeze-drying, instead of frying or baking, dramatically increases the healthiness of these potato crisps.  They have zero grams of fat and only 35 calories per bag, which is more than four times less calories than a 1-ounce serving size of regular Lay&#8217;s Potato Chips.  But again, its flavor was probably four times less flavorful as regular Lay&#8217;s Potato Chips.<\/p>\n<p>Brothers-All-Natural also has fruit slices that are freeze-dried, like these potato crisps, and I felt the apple and peach fruit slices were much more enjoyable than their starch counterparts.  The idea behind Brothers-All-Natural Potato Crisps is a very noble one.  Potato chips can be addictive, like cigarettes and internet porn, so having a healthier version of it would make popping and not stopping seem not so bad.  Unfortunately, these potato crisps aren&#8217;t able to break my addiction.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 bag &#8211; 35 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 grams of cholesterol,  190-220 milligrams of sodium, 8 grams of carbs, 1 grams of dietary fiber, 1 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>(Editor&#8217;s Note:  I have a few extra samples of Brothers-All-Natural products that I would like to give away to readers (Ace is not eligible), so I&#8217;m going to have a drawing for them.
