Who Likes to Eat?! (Giveaway!)

How’s that for catching your eye?!

A few weeks ago, Tricia from PopChips contacted me about possibly checking out the chips for a giveaway. Well, here is the thing; I’m not a massive fan of chips. Do I love chips? Um, yes please. However, I know how much not-so-good stuff is poured into them, so if I am going to have a vice, I typically go for the sugary chocolate route. My sis and I always laugh– she is all about chips and salt while I adore a good sugar-fest.

However, when doing a little of my own research, I immediately noticed that PopChips are from Colorado! How could I not a give a local fav a chance? I asked her to send on over her samples, and told her I’d check them out and form my own opinion before agreeing to host a giveaway.

(And yes, apparently I am the ONLY one in Colorado who had never tried these chips– all of my friends thought I was insane! Apparently they are big for night nurses who snack on them at midnight…or so I’m told!)

First of all, their customer service was awesome. Yes, I know they are just down the road from me, but I came home the very next day to find a big ol’ PopChips box at my front door! And even better? These people are generous! I was definitely not expecting a massive box full of every single flavor of chips! Seriously guys, I think they sent like 30 bags or something!

I dug through the flavors and immediately zeroed in on the jalapeno flavored chips (a personal fav). I ripped open a bag and started munching. And, as I’m sure you can tell since I’m writing about it now, I loved the chips.

As PopChips advertises, they are a lot healthier than normal snacking chips. These suckers aren’t fried, but they aren’t baked either so they still have lots of flavor. Instead, the potatoes are attacked with a whole bunch of heat and pressure until they pop into a chip!

I know, kinda blurry. I swear, I’ll get better about NOT using my iPhone!

There are only 100 calories per bag, which I don’t think is that much, and the bags aren’t those little snack sized ones that go in kids’ lunch boxes: they are actually decent sized.

And my favorite part? Every time I say the name PopChips I think about VH1’s Pop Up Video from the ’80s and ’90s and that just makes me happy 🙂

So, down to brass tacks! (That expression has always killed me!) PopChips has offered one reader an entire month’s supply of PopChips! 

That is a lot of chips, guys! And I know we all have to eat, right?!

How to enter:
Let’s make this easy: in the comments below, tell me which flavor you are most excited to try and why! You can check out all the different flavors here.

For a bonus entry, follow PopChips on Twitter and tweet something about the giveaway (Please be sure to include both my Twitter handle and PopChips’ Twitter handle so we can check it out!) Let me know in the comments if you do!

The giveaway will be open until Sunday, March 25. I’ll announce the winner on Monday.

Good luck and happy eating!

I was supplied with a whooooooole lot of PopChips free of charge, but was not compensated in any other way for this post. The opinions about all of the PopChips tastiness are all my own!

    For a girl allergic to gluten, these things are the bomb! My favorite at the moment has to be the cheddar but even the salt and pepper flavor is amazing.

    I’ve still never tried these, even though I’ve seen them all over the blogosphere for years! I had a hard time picking a flavor… but I guess I would say the sweet potato. But they all sound good, especially now that I’m pregnant, salty snacks call to me more!

    I love cheese, so gimme some of that Cheddar PopChip love! I will therefore share with you a quote about cheese:
    “What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate the whole………… wheel of cheese? How’d you do that? Heck, I’m not even mad; that’s amazing.” Ron Burgundy to his dog Baxter, Anchorman

    Heck, I could eat that whole month’s supply of PopChips in one sitting if given the opportunity….(by the way, didn’t know PopChips are from Colorado, wooo hooo, glad I moved here!)

  • Reply Sara at

    Hey- just randomly came across your blog from Pinterest today. I also ran in the lucky laces race! Small world! I would have to go with the jalapeno flavor. I pretty much am addicted to anything spicy. I love Pop Chips but have only had the original flavor. I’m going to follow Pop Chips on twitter as well!

  • Reply Cary Chang at

    A vending machine at work sells these and they are my savour during a long day at the desk. I have not tried the sour cream and onion but it is my favourite flavour for chips……mmmmm

  • Reply The Happy Runner at

    OK, I LOOOOOVE Popchips but have not tried jalapeno (lOOOOOOve the sweet potato, though). YUM!

  • Reply Katie Boué (The Morning Fresh) at

    I don’t know if I’m just a really good girlfriend, or if my boyfriend’s taste preferences have begun to rub off on me – but Niko is a diehard sweet potato fan, and I am totally curious about how the flavor would translate into a Popchip!

    But then again, your raves about the jalapeno flavor have me quite curious. Hmm.
