Snack Review
Taste test: This snack came in a package that looked a lot like Vidalia's Sweet Onion Petals and Ranch Onion Petals, but the snack inside was different from those two in more ways than just flavor.
Despite the Vidalia name, this one didn't attempt to look like pieces of onion, but rather, fries — in this case, sweet potato fries. The odd thing about that was that — like many bagged fries — the snack was primarily corn-based. They did include sweet potato among the ingredients.
The fries were pretty good. They had a texture much like the also-corn-based Andy Capp's fries, with a light feel and nice crunch. The taste was not like eating actual sweet potato fries at all, nor anything like sweet potato chips but there was a hint of sweet potato taste. Pretty good.

Smell test: Mild, but remotely like sweet potatoes.
From the package: “All potatoes are not created equal. With history dating back to 750 B.C., sweet potatoes are one of the oldest vegetables known to mankind. Starting out as a rare and expensive delicacy, the sweet potato eventually domesticated and popularity grew over the years as the versatility of this sweet and nutritious vegetable spread into many culinary dishes.”
