One of the perks of the news business often arrives in the mail -- free food.
On Wednesday, co-worker Angie Kinsey received a package of French Onion SunChips. In case you haven't yet discovered SunChips in the snack food aisle, the chips are multigrain snacks. The flavored ones generally taste better than the plain. We taste-tested them (hey, it was time for a morning snack), and they're pretty good. The company, Frito-Lay, didn't send us the free chips in hopes of a story on chips. Frito-Lay touts the environmental friendliness of the chips, saying that the manufacturing facility in Modesto, Calif., will use solar energy to make the chips.
As for the flavors, the chips also come in Harvest Cheddar, Original and Garden Salsa. The company's Web site says the chips have 30 percent less fat than regular potato chips and no trans fat or cholesterol. We decided the chips were pretty tasty. And if they're healthier than regular chips and reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing, great.
