(The following is not a paid advertisement.)
I passed by SM Makati on my way home yesterday when I decided to stop by the snacks section in the middle of the 2nd floor. I was craving for a potato crisps snack. My first choice was Pringles (I had P&G-related training earlier, and Pringles is a P&G product) but I found the 80-peso price tag to be a bit too much. Similar offerings (Lay's Stax and Jack 'n Jill Spuds) proved to have similarly steep prices.
But I really wanted some crispy potato goodness so I looked around and found boxes on a shelf no one seemed to be touching: Fukuda Potato Crisps. I was initially intrigued by the flavor of the first box I saw: "Wasabi Lobster". I'm a fan of wasabi-flavored products in general, but what convinced me to buy was the incredibly low price of 39.75 pesos. I also thought it was interesting for potato crisps to come in a box instead of a tube.
I don't even know where to begin with my praises for Fukuda Potato Crisps. The wasabi flavor was delightfully tangy (i.e., not too strong) and the saltyness of the lobster flavor complemented the spiciness perfectly. The crisps themselves are of the right thickness and are indeed crispy. Unlike its more expensive counterparts, Fukuda Potato Crisps don't get stuck between your teeth (hindi nakakatinga!). The crisps are packed tightly together which means that there are very few broken-off pieces. And the best part is that with such great value, you don't have to pay as much as the other more "premium" brands!
For its great taste, sizeable volume, and affordable price, Fukuda Potato Crisps is the latest product to earn the Punzki "Sulet!" Seal of Approval. Grab a box today!
Epilogue. Today, I went out with Andreé and bought two new flavors of Fukuda to try out: Seaweed and Sour Cream and Onion. They're both as great as the Wasabi Lobster flavor! Bought Andreé an extra box of seaweed-flavored to take home. Two more flavors to try: Barbecue and Original.
P.S. Can't find any links or pictures about Fukuda online so I'll just upload some photos later. Also, if you see Fukuda for sale at any store, let me know where you found it. I haven't seen Fukuda outside of the SM Makati snacks section.
P.P.S. I know too much junk food is bad for my health, but if I'm going to buy food that'll kill me, it might as well come cheap.
