- Get in my mouth you delicious pop chip!
That’s right people!
There’s a giveaway here today!
I hope they don’t mind my eff bomb that I’m about to drop here because maybe they don’t know me and my love for a good eff bomb every now and then (and by every now and then I mean about every 3.4 seconds).
I fucking love popchips.
The chip and the company.
First lets talk about the chip. About 8 months ago while I was stalking perusing people on twitter and I kept seeing @popchips all over place. People were raving about how good they tasted. Now 8 months ago I was just reaching my first goal weight and getting ready to run my first half marathon. I was still very much into calorie counting and writing everything down that was going into my mouth. I’d been very good about cutting out snack type foods but it was about time that I put into practice what I’d been trying to teach myself for the previous 11 months: How to eat healthy and enjoy what I was eating without freaking out that something wasn’t a green leafy or packed with protein.
I wanted to eat like a “normal” person.
(Whatever that means).
I looked high and low for popchips in my area. I was disappointed each time I went shopping that I had to leave empty handed. I wanted to try them. I wanted to get on this popchip bandwagon. Finally I walked into my local permanent farmer’s market and there they were like a beacon in the night: BBQ popchips (funny how I remember even eight months later the first flavor I tried). Now to know me is to know I don’t even like bbq flavored chips (take note for when you invite me over for a cook out) but I was willing to break my popchip virginity with these bad boys.
First chip goes in:
LOVE THEM!
I knew immediately why everyone loved them so much. They were good. Really good. The entire snack size bag was 120 calories and there was enough in the bag I felt like I had a good sized portioned snack. I was officially on the popchip band wagon and they are now my go to crunchy snack. I’ve not been able to try all the flavors but of the one’s I have tried my favorite is the salt and pepper.
Now let’s talk about the company. In May I went to Fitbloggin (but you already knew that right?). One of the things I really appreciated was the companies that came to spend the 2 1/2 days with us and provide all kinds of swag for us to enjoy. Popchips was there and they were a blast to see every time I went past their set-up. Costumes for people to put on and get their pictures taken to be uploaded immediately to twitter. Large bean bag area to sit and hang out with your new Fitbloggin buddy or catch up with an old friend from the previous conference. Bags and bags of chips were being handed to anyone that held out an empty hand. No stink eye when you back for a 15th or 16th time (not that I would know anything about that). With all of their generosity at Fitbloggin it was big surprise to see they extended that generosity to when we returned home by giving each participant a coupon for a free case of popchips…
Yhea you heard me.
A CASE!
As I write this blog post I have my very own box in my closet of the tastiest 100 calorie bags of delicious little circles of love you can put in your mouth and feel good about what you’re eating. Not tried them yet? Now you have your chance. They are letting me do a giveaway for not just one of you lucky bastards, but for three. Here’s how this is going to go down…
- Leave a comment here. Tell me if you’ve tried them (what’s you’re favorite?) or are you still a popchip virgin.
- Go like them on facebook, tag them (and me) in a status update (Hey I’m entering a kick ass giveaway blah blah blah) and come back here and tell me with a link.
- Follow them at on one of their many twitter pages (@popchips, @popchipsPDX or @popchipsSeattle) and tell me here.
- Go outside and shout “I want to love popchips as much as Tara” and tell me you did it (okay maybe not so much on this one but it brings a smile to my face to think you would have done it)
Leave a comment for each of the above (three bullets, three separate comments) and in one week I will randomly pick three of you lucky lucky bastards to have month’s supply (riiiiiiiight like it’s going to last a month) delivered to your door. Popchips the company is so awesome that if you don’t win something here you can bet there will be other giveaways happening all over twitter so keep your eyes peeled for more ways to get those round little love crisps out of the bag and into your mouth…
Good luck
and
Happy snacking!
I have still never tried them! I know, last horse to cross the finish line. Want to, though! I’d like to try BBQ, though salt and pepper sound a-mazing. Especially in a single-serve size bag!
I follow them on Twitter – @PopchipsChicago ♥
I am not a Pop Chip virgin. My fav is plain and salt and vinegar. Little crunchy bits if heaven…especially for a chip fanatic like me!
I’ve never tried them! I’m not a ‘chip person’, but MUST try what everyone raves about! I’ll even share!!
LOVE Popchips!! They are awesome!! My favorite is the Salt and Vinegar. And the best thing is that my hubby eats them. Getting him to eat anything healthy is so hard something.
I already follow Popchips on twitter. Teehee.
Pop chip virgin in the hizz-ouse over here. You keep telling me about how amazing they are, so I’ll go yell outside “I want to love popchips as much as Tara” if it means I have a shot at actually tasting these little circles of love…
I love the BBQ popchips!!!

Yep, I’m a popchip virgin, don’t do facebook or twitter but would love to try the little chips of wonder 🙂
I’m a PopChip virgin 🙁

OMG I freaking LOVE Pop Chips. I wish more stores carried them. I’ve asked Albertson’s to carry them but nothing yet. Only place I’ve been able to find them are at Fred Meyer and believe it or not THE VENDING MACHINE AT WORK! I get Salt and Pepper at work (which is my favorite) but FM doesn’t carry that flavor. Only choices there are sour cream and onion (tasty), BBQ (not my favorite but definitely would buy it if others not available), and cheddar. YUMMM
I now follow @PopChips on Twitter! How do we get more stores to carry them?
Ok…I now “like” PopChips on Facebook but have no clue how to tag them and you in a link. hmmmm
Mmmmmm I love popchips! I’m not sure if I like the BBQ more or the salt and vinegar…. hmmm..
hey all i love Tara s much as you all and had the chance to meet her she’s freaking awesome. Popchips rock and I’m also doing a giveaway on my site. so if you would like another shot at a case check me out

I have never had popchips before! I’ve never even seen them in a store and would love to try them if this contest is open to Canadians too!
I keep seeing these all over blog land but admittedly have yet to look for them in a store and therefore have not tried them! Pop Chip virgin here, seriously need to give them a try:)
Must be good if Tara AND too big are giving them away – liked on FB
I love the BBQ flavor PopChips, but I would like to try the salt and pepper variety. Would be great to win a case to share with my family.
Totally a Popchip virgin and I don’t FB or Twitter, but I am totally gonna yell “I want to love popchips as much as Tara” when I go outside to watch fireworks in a few minutes. The dogs will think I’m crazy. 🙂
I’m following @PopChips on twitter (@KyraTX) I’d probably scare the dogs if I yelled that I want to love PopChips as much as Tara, so I’m yelling quietly. My favorites (and the dogs’ and husband’s too) is the BBQ flavor. I love to eat them on my tuna salad sandwiches.
I’ve never tried them! Hopefully I win!!
I absolutely love the se salt and vinegar! They also have chili lime which I served up with guacamole to friends…NOM NOM NOM!
I am now following @popchips on Twitter!
I posted on Facebook to follow popchips and your blog, but I think facebook mobile won’t let me “tag” people. I also friend requested you 🙂 Friend me back and you will see my post! 🙂
boring me….I like the plain the best!!
I’ve tried them, my favorite is Sea Salt & Vinegar! 🙂
I like them on Facebook & I posted an update:
