    Fat free crisps? Oxymoron? Can't say I've ever heard of them! I'd be interested in hearing more, though.. :o

    With zero fat, 50 percent fewer calories than regular potato chips and great taste, you'll never miss whats missing. These snacks are made with Olean brand olestra oil so you can enjoy a flavorful taste - minus the fat.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olestra#Side_effects
    However, by 2000 sales slowed to $200 million, largely caused by the unappealing side effects described on the FDA-mandated health warning label "This Product Contains Olestra. Olestra may cause abdominal cramping and loose stools. Olestra inhibits the absorption of some vitamins and other nutrients. Vitamins A, D, E, and K have been added."

    So get some nappies on if you plan on eating a lot. In the nutrition forum people on similar fat blocking products did soil themselves.
