Olestra Ruffles Taste Test

The better-tasting of regular or Olestra (WOW!)Ruffles: Olestra (WOW!) Ruffles

Methodology:

We bought one bag of plain Ruffles WOW! Chips and one bag of plain Ruffles. This is what we learned:

 

 

Teresa

Harry

#1

No difference

Olestra (WOW!) Chips

#2

No difference

Regular Ruffles

 

It is very hard to tell the difference between WOW! chips and their regular counterparts. In our blind taste test, I thought the WOW! chips tasted a little less greasy than the regular Ruffles, but I ate a couple of handfuls of chips to come to that conclusion. Teresa said it was like eating the same chips and that there is no difference. We were, of course, disappointed that neither of us experienced the loose stools or abdominal cramping that can occur from products containing Olestra.
