55. I'll tell you one thing that is BETTER than the regular variety

Honestly, for those of you who like potato chips, the reduced fat version is MUCH better
than the regular chips because the latter are so greasy. THESE little babies have less fat
AND taste better. And I'm a potato chip eater from WAY back.

(But only for the plain chips-- I don't think Ruffles offer reduced fat in any of the other flavors.)
