Twistix! Potato Evolution!

I was never a fan of the froyo trend... yeah, froyo is great and all, but since there are so many stores opening up, it all comes down to location. They're all the same to me. Theres no excitement, you what I mean?

Then there are players like this:

Twisty Potatoes! whats not to love?
I'm sure you've been seeing these pop up around the place. Its a nice change from the regular old potato corner. They sell ENTIRE POTATOES cut into ONE neat SPIRAL of CHIPS! let me just show you

thats right, one potato chip spiral on a stick
Its like eating BBQ on a stick, except its flavored potato chips! the one pictured here is the "large" one. Just so you have an idea, here are the sizes and flavors

just like buying French fries!

Pizza flavor? YEY!
Yeah, its a bit pricey, but if you think about it, its like buying fries from Potato Corner. You can even ask them to put more than one flavor. I had them put Pizza on one end and Sour Cream on the other, it was fun alternating flavors. And its a big potato!

As for the taste, its just your basic powdered flavors but they really go great on those crispy chips! and the twisty-ness of it all just adds to the experience!

They make it right in front of you too! they just cut up the potato with a machine, deep fry then pour on the flavor!

In goes the Potato

Out comes the Twistix!

Stretch it out, deep fry and add the flavor!

EAT


But if you think about it some more... Why buy this instead of a bag of flavored potato chips? lets see what i can list down

1. Chips on a Stick! - its a fun way to eat your potato chips! all you need is one hand
2. Crizzzpy - its fresh from the deep fryer, its as crispy as it can get
3. Cool factor - its an entire potato turned into a spiral! you don't see that everyday!

I don't think this will ever replace chips (those will always be cheaper), but its something nice to try every now and then if you don't mind deep fried food. It's fad though, thats for sure, and you should try it while its still uso ! We had to take a number and wait in line to get some!
18 lol
Its a fad that may not out live the Froyo fad, but its something I'd choose over froyo any day! Try one, there probably one in a mall near you!
