HOT PICKS [FRIDAY]

This Totally Bites

April 6, 2007

Oh snacking, how we love thee. If only you could be more healthy for us. Because, you know, sometimes we're just not in the mood for carrots and rice cakes. Sometimes, we want the mouth-pleasing goodness that only a crunchy potato chip can provide.

Thank goodness the Hardbite brand of organic chips is in the midst of a snack aisle takeover. Lower in nasty trans fats than other chips and kettle cooked with no synthetic agents, Hardbite chips are less of a health gamble than other brands. Plus, they're made in the Fraser Valley, which means you're not contributing to the pollution caused by importing chips from halfway across the continent.

Ah, but what you really want to know is: do they taste good? Well, the answer is no. They taste magnificent! And they come in so many flavours - cheddar and onion, smokin' BBQ, jalapeno, honey Dijon, all natural, and wild onion and yogurt. So now that you want 'em, where can you get 'em? Pretty much everywhere, including Capers, IGA, Nesters Market, Super Valu, Shoppers Drug Mart and Urban Fare.
