Artesancis - Lay's


Crisps&Critics was travelling when stumbled on these chips. Despite not having all the instruments to fill in the feature table, we felt these crisps were worth a review.


We got these potato crisps from a refrigerated vending machine. The chips were cold and they provided us with an unknown experience eating fresh chips under the Spanish sun. The flavour coming from the bag is very good and authentic, probably due to the chips being fried in olive oil (according to the Spanish labeling, in the Portuguese translation the oil type is not specified). One drawback: when chewing the potatoes it all felt like a floury mass. Still, their flavour, one of the best potato flavour tested so far. 

By the way, don’t let Lay’s marketing department fool you today (April 1st): The product name is “Artesancis” and not “Artesanas" or "Artesanais” (Spanish and Portuguese for "manually cooked") as Lay’s would like us to read from the packaging and their internet link. There’s some controversy around the net on (this and other) deceptive marketing techniques if you want to know more...
