I bought the Beer Cheese potato chips...

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

  • - The chips taste like a normal potato chip with no cheese flavor.

Clancys Chips - I bought the Beer Cheese potato chips...

I bought the beer cheese potato chips at Aldi's today (March 30, 2026). I thought they sounded interesting.

To my surprise, they taste just like a normal potato chip, not even a taste of cheese.

I wish I could return it, but the bag has already been opened. You need to test the product before putting it out in the market.

User's recommendation: If you expect beer cheese flavor, do not buy. Very disappointed.

No help from Representative

AI Highlights
  • - Customer received 3 oz Clancy's chips instead of 7 oz.
  • - Receipt taken to Aldi's; attendant helped and I received a new bag of Clancy's popcorn chips.

I contacted Clancy chips, the representative really didn't help. She asked me for my name, zip code and product code number, and what the issue was.

I informed her that my the chips I purchased only had 3 oz and was supposed to have 7 oz. She then said she had to check to see how to resovle issue. I was put on hold, she came back, said a few things, then put me on hold. I then waited thinking she hung up because it was silent.

I then hung up and took my receipt with the product to Aldi's (where I purchased them), the attendant helped me with a smile.

I was happy that my problem was solved with no help from your representative. I received a new bag of Clancy's Popcorn chips.

What a horrible waste of a life that you must have if you actually have time to waste measuring cheap chips from Aldi (not Aldi's). Let me guess, you only have a cat or a dog for a friend. Shaking my head.

AI Highlights
  • - Chips taste terrible.
  • - Ranch chips are hard and break teeth.
  • - No quality control or testers at Clancy's factory.

These chips taste terrible. These baked ripple Ranch chips are very hard.

I thought they would be a good healthy choice but will only break your teeth when eating them.

It is a fact that there is no quality control or taste testers at the Clancy's factory. I am tired of buying garbage products for top dollar.

Pros:
  • No pros
Cons:
  • Cons taste bad
  • Too hard to eat
  • Cost to high

Preferred solution: Nothing No action requested

User's recommendation: Do not buy Baked Ripples chips brand name Clancy's at Aldi food mart.

Peanut-Filled pretzels unsatisfactory

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - About 1/7 of the pretzels are missing peanut butter, making bites not appetizing.
  • - Labeling says pretzels are to be filled with peanut butter.
Clancys Chips - Peanut-Filled pretzels unsatisfactory

About 1/7 of the bag I bought has pretzels missing the peanut butter inside. If I want pretzels I would buy them.

The labeling clearly states pretzels are to be filled with peanut butter.

Biting into an empty shell of pretzel is not appetizing and not the product I was thinking I was buying. Maybe a bad batch.

User's recommendation: Don’t expect all to be filled and you’re good

Could not get through to customer service. Very confusing AI. Kind of sure they don't really care about customer satisfaction.

Original review Jan 08, 2026

Attempted three times to get to talk to somebody. Too many prompts that didn't give me the correct person to talk to ended up emailing.

Disappointing purchase

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I love all Clancy snacks, including Pretzel Slims.
  • - The Honey, Mustard, Onion flavor had no flavor.
  • - Other flavors are okay.

Love all of Clancy snacks including Pretzel Slims. However I bought Honey, Mustard, Onion flavor and they had absolutely no flavor at all.

No mustard, no honey and no onion. Like eating a hard piece of dried up dough.

Please try and fix it. The other flavors are ok.

User's recommendation: Buy a different flavor

Healthy snacks sells in 2025!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Seasonings are better than other brands.
  • - Bags are underfilled and crumbly.
  • - Prefer Omega-3 fats and no bioengineered ingredients.

Original review updated Jul 02, 2025

I gave 2 stars because the seasonings are often far better than any other brand and that's great. Plus you often have more product per ounce comparatively.

However my beef are 4 problems with nearly all snacks. 1) fill the bag above 1/3rd

2) Make sure they are handled with better care so as not to sell a bag of crumbs

3) And start using Omega 3 fats to replace FAKE vegetable oil (there truly is no such thing. It's just a name)

4) Please end using BIOENGINEERED ingredients.

I believe we are all growing weary of the food industry using humanity as a living experiment. We are all becoming quite aware of the FDA, the FTC and all of the large grain industries and growing our food on the "pharm" is really making Americans very angry.

We are boycotting these things the moment we find them in our foodless foods. America is overwhelmed with obesity and we can't afford anymore trash in our foods and bodies. So please fix this or we just will no longer buy it. I am going on 2 years now and waiting for positive changes.

I'm not letting up!!! The ball is in your court now.

User's recommendation: I do recommend everyone jump aboard pressuring healthier ingredients
