Our Review Factors

What were our focus parameters when reviewing Fun Flips Puffs?

Related Products
*Based on Mishry's internal reviews and ratings

The primary review-forming parameters were taste and texture. We also gauged the price and packaging. Since this does not claim to be a healthy product, we only glanced at the ingredient list and did not rate these chips on the nutritional values. 

1. Taste

Both flavor labels seem promising. Do the actual flavors provide justice to the tags? How are the puffs seasoned? Overdone on one flavoring agent or well-balanced? Fresh or artificial-tasting? 

Are these addictive? Does it make for a snack where you could savor the entire pack in a sitting?

2. Texture

We were looking for fresh and crisp but light and airy puffs. These should be devoid of any oily/greasy mouthfeel.

'Spice overload' is what the packaging made us think.

Aroma + Appearance

As soon as we opened the pack, there was a robust aroma of dried red chilli powder. Each piece had a unique shape with a tinge of yellow/orange. 

Taste + Texture

These had a light mouthfeel, they did not feel too greasy or oily on the palate. These Fun Flips were crisp and felt fresh, owing to this texture. As for taste, it was a desirable blend of sweet and spice. With a sweet start, the puffs end on a warmer, spicier note. We like that the spice was not too overwhelming, it is something that can be enjoyed across ages.

But this isn’t a flavor you would want to pick up regularly as a swap for your masala puffs.

A road trip, something to nibble on while dinner is being prepped- we suggest trying Fun Flips Puffs in Hot & Saucy.

2. Sizzling Chinese

One pack holds 125 grams of product and is priced at Rs 50/- with a shelf life of four months. This variant comes in a red and maroon packing. 

Main Ingredients

Corn meal (72.30%), edible vegetable oil (palmolein oil), iodised salt, sugar powder, spices & condiments [ Garlic, powder, onion powder, red chilli, ginger powder], rice meal, corn maltodextrin, soy sauce powder, hydrolyzed soy protein, acidity regulator (INS330), flavor enhancer (INS 627, INS 631) are the ingredients that go in the making. 

fun flips puffs variants
Hot & Saucy and Sizzling Chinese are the two variants we tried.

Aroma + Appearance

Like the above variant, these too have non-identical shapes. Here, the most dominant aroma was that of dry ginger. Pungent and robust, we missed the garlic, chilli notes that Chinese dishes usually have. 

Taste + Texture

These baked puffs had a texture and crunch similar to the first variant we tried. As for the flavor, this was just dominant on the pungent warmth of ginger. This was the only ‘Chinese’ aspect on the flavor profile. The spice was too mild and there were no traditional Chinese flavors like those of garlic, chilli, or soy.

Definitely not something we would go back for.
