I had a new postman
yesterday, that is completely irrelevant to the point of today's post,
but it's a starting point!
I could hear two post men
outside, talking. The experienced postman (who is also not my normal
posty, but I digress) was explaining to the new posty, how to deliver
a parcel. I had my front door open, and was curious about what parcel
they were discussing............I wasn't expecting anything?!
It was rather a large box.
No idea what it was. So obviously I ripped the box open opened
it gently, to see what was in there.
I was very surprised to
find these.........
Oh. My. Goodness.
Does the Walkers Crisps
fairy know how much we love their crisps!?!
Had I been a really good
girl??
Who cares I had CRISPS!?
3 multipacks, no less!!
(scuse the excessive
amount of exclamation marks, but it was CRISPS!!)
Now for those of you that
understand the obsessive side of Autism, will understand my joy at
having free crisps. You see, little A only likes beige.......and
chocolate, but mostly beige. He eats potato products, chicken
nuggets....and crisps. Lots and lots and lots of crisps. He
particularly likes 'red ones' (ready salted to you and me). He eats
about 3 packets a day! I have to allow it, as his diet is so limited,
its a way to get his calorie intake.
So imagine my utter joy at
seeing that this new Walkers range, the Mighty Lights, are 30% lower
in fat! Even better! This is a great thing, in my opinion, as it's the saturated fat
that does the most damage. If you take a look at the web page for
this new range, www.walkersmightylights.co.uk, as I did, you will
see the nutritional break down of the packets. The saturated fats in
the lightly salted crisps is 0.5g!
As you would expect from a
Walkers product, they are made from real potatoes, without any of the
added preservatives or colours. As a mother of a child with different
needs, this is important to me. So many of these things can effect
children in adverse ways, knowing that I can give him the thing he
loves, without the worry of it harming him (or making him hyper!).
From a child's perspective,
he just wants it to taste nice.........

Yes, it's slightly posed, but he did wolf down the whole packet after! |
I think it gets the thumbs
up!
All of us got to try the
other flavours, my hubby has given these the BIG thumbs up. I think
he has hidden the Roast Chicken ones for himself. We are also trying to eat
a little healthier, so the cut in fat allows us to have our favourite treats. Especially as my hubby is forever looking for snack type
food, to take to work. He comes home for his lunch, but snacks keep
him going.
My love is the Cheese and Onion. There is nothing nicer, for me, than a Cheese and Onion crisp
sandwich.......really! I've already replaced my full white bread, with
smaller wholemeal slices. I've replaced my full fat spread, to a
lighter alternative. Now, thanks to the Mighty Lights, my crisps are
30% less fat too!
What more does a woman
need?
