SnackSwapperThe honest verdict
Is Ruffles Cheddar & Sour Cream Actually Healthy?
The ridges are engineering for holding more seasoning oil. An ounce is 160 calories with 10g of fat and barely any protein, and the cheddar-sour-cream dust is flavoring, not food — there's no cheese here doing you any favors.
