Iceland shoppers have discovered a £2.75 bag of oven chips that taste just like the ones from popular pub chain Wetherspoons. The frozen chips, known as Ridiculously Crispy Chunky Chips, have become a viral sensation after a social media user claimed they replicate the pub's signature side dish perfectly.
Social Media Buzz
A woman named Sarah shared her discovery on social media, stating that the Iceland chips are "exactly" like Wetherspoons chips. She explained that she had been on a mission to find the perfect chip and was thrilled to have succeeded. Sarah said: "If you like Wetherspoons and you like their chips, even though you only get 10 chips, I think I've found them. You can make them at home. They're from Iceland, and they're called Chunky Chips."
Sarah showed a cooked chip, noting its texture and crispiness matched Wetherspoons. She added: "This has been my life goal. This has been my life's mission: to find out what chips they use. I've asked them, and they never give you an answer. Now, I can cook my own Wetherspoons chips at home."
Product Details
The chips in question are the Ridiculously Crispy Chunky Chips from Iceland, priced at £2.75 for a 1.2kg bag. They are also available at a multibuy price of £2.50 each. The chips have received glowing reviews on the Iceland website, with 34 reviews and most rating them five stars. Customers describe them as "delicious" and "the best chips I've had in ages."
One reviewer said: "Well, after trying every other make of frozen chips, I tried these, expecting they would also end up in the bin. What a surprise. They were by far the best. Nice and crunchy, cooked evenly, and actually tasted like proper chips, also incredibly good value." Another added: "In two words: Absolutely lush." A third wrote: "Finally found the perfect chip. Chunky, crispy, fluffy and tasty. I won't be buying any other chips from now on."
Wetherspoons Chip Debate
While many are eager to try the Iceland chips, some commenters pointed out that Wetherspoons actually uses McCain's oven chips, cooked in a chip pan rather than an oven. One Wetherspoons employee said: "I work at Spoons and they are just McCains chips. Standard British chips, really." Despite this, the Iceland chips have won over many fans who appreciate their convenience and taste.
