Breakfast of Champions

It never really matters how much extra time you try and give yourself, when it comes to getting ready for a trip, you almost always find yourself running late. Which explains why I found myself running out the door for the first morning of my FoodProof sponsored trip without breakfast. Luckily, snacks were served aboard my flight, and I was able to make a... err... healthy meal out of JetBlue's signature Blue Potato Chips. 
The bag states they're cooked using a vacuum cooking process, which they claim results in a lower fat, tastier chip. Oh, and they're blue. Made with naturally blue potatoes (well, more purple than blue, really), they're thick cut and lightly salted, and each chip was fairly small, not much larger than a quarter. They also have a very light, slightly puffed texture (which I imagine is a function more of the cooking process than the potatoes themselves). They also taste, well, more like potatoes than typical potato chips, with a slight raw russet flavor. 
My final verdict? If you're ever on JetBlue, and you need to eat something blue, and they're out of the Smurf jerkey, well, it's better than... ummm... I mean seriously, what am I supposed to say here; they're just kind of bad potato chips. But since you're stuck on an airplane, you're kind of a captive audience.
