I have tried Whisps Cheddar Cheese Crisps and found them to have the right amount of saltiness and cheese flavor. They're great snacks to tide me over while I'm out and about and can't have a full meal. I love cheese and since they have a true cheese taste, it satisfies that craving and the crispiness and airiness makes it much easier to eat a handful.

I don't know if I have seen "Whisps" before or if I'm just imagining that I have. But it looks fun and I like the amount of carbs and protein it has. Well, I will keep an eye out for it and I will try it when I see them in the supermarket. Looks like a nutritious yet tasty snack.

I would try it but it's a small package and looks like a very small amount of cheese per crisp and I think I would be less hungry if I ate some saltine crackers for a snack.

6
It makes me think of Cheese Puffs

Maybe cheezits or moon cheese. I really love whisps though.
People 35-44 years old, High school graduates, White people, $61-100k earners, Men

Asiago cheese crisps, cheese curds, cheese sticks

Croutons, chips. Cheezits
Women, $101k+ earners, White people, Bachelor's degree holders, People 35-44 years old

Products that are probably similar to this that I actually enjoy are cheez its and probably cheetos or even goldfish. I understand it is gluten free and healthier but if I snack I want something good.
People 25-34 years old, Men, $31-60k earners, Asian people, Bachelor's degree holders
11
I would say that Funions, Garden Veggie Straws, Garden Veggie Crisps, Pop Chips, Goldfish Crackers, and Quaker Rice Snacks would be the closest. They would probably be in the same category of substitutes at the grocery store.
$150k+ income households, Graduate degree holders, People 45-54 years old, $61-100k earners, Men, Asian people
12
Maybe smartpop popcorn as that is healthy as well
$35-75k income households, Women, $31-60k earners, Hispanic people, People 35-44 years old, High school graduates
13
I think of other cheese cracker type products such as Cheez-Its, however Whisps are a lot different since they are only made of cheese and do not contain the wheat ingredients of cheese crackers. They are a fairly unique product in that regard. Perhaps a similar thing could be made at home using shredded cheeses such as Kraft or Sargento's but they would lack the convenience of this product.
Hispanic people, Graduate degree holders, People 45-54 years old, Women, $0-35k income households, $0-30k earners

Maybe pirate’s booty from Trader Joe’s, cheddar goldfish, maybe that gross cheddar popcorn that people used to get in the black bags
$150k+ income households, White people, Graduate degree holders, $101k+ earners, Men, People 35-44 years old
15
Cheese-ITs. Goldfish. Crackers
People 45-54 years old, $150k+ income households, Men, $101k+ earners, White people, Graduate degree holders
16
Cheetos come to mind but those are not very healthy
Graduate degree holders, White people, $101k+ earners, Women, People 35-44 years old
17
I'd imagine any cheesy puffs like cheetos or trader joes brand would be competitors/alternatives.
$35-75k income households, $0-30k earners, Men, People 25-34 years old, Bachelor's degree holders, People of other races or ethnicities

Anything cheesy chip - like doritos or ever cheddar potato chips, but also cheez-it crackers.

This seems like a very good name as all the other similar names like puffs, crisps, chips, etc. have already been taken and used. I think "whisp" brings to mind a very light and almost ethereal object.

There was a similar product to Whisps Cheddar Crisps that I had over 10 years ago. I believe it was called Moon Cheese. But Whisps have more of a complex and delicious taste. It is consistent and always tastes fresh, and stays crispy.

I would pay $4 at most, depending on how large the bag appeared and how much was filled with "air" rather than the product! IT looks tasty but also its junk food.

I would pay $0.49 for a small bag of these. This looks great and it would probably be in the same category as most chip makers. It would be good to have them in a size bigger than 2.12 ounces, though.

I would pay up to $4 for the Whisps Cheddar Crisps because they have so much flavor, taste so fresh and always keep my appetite at bay between meals. It is a good value and the rich flavor keeps me from eating too much so it lasts awhile.
