We located two credible reviews of Cape Cod 40% Reduced-Fat Potato Chips. Consumer Reports rates these chips, but the magazine doesn't discuss tasters' credentials. Unlike Consumer Reports, the snack-food blog Taquitos.net accepts free snacks from manufacturers, although it claims that this doesn't affect its reviews.

Cape Cod 40% Reduced Fat Chips, according to critics, still taste decadent even though they have 40 percent less fat than other chips (but only 25 percent less fat than other Cape Cod varieties). Reviews say that they taste nearly as good as regular Cape Cod potato chips, only less greasy and not quite as crunchy. While a few reviewers say they're not salty enough, most love their earthy taste. These chips are fried, then flash-baked, so they're crunchier than classic potato chips, with a firmer bite. If you're looking for a light-textured, full-fat potato chip, reviews say that Lay's Natural Thick-Cut Sea Salted Chips (*est. $3 for 9 oz.) are a great choice.
