@Seidi has never had Andy Capp’s Hot Fries before, so she was excited when she heard that she would be trying them out! As a seasoned veteran of the big bag of Chester’s heat-filled fries, she knew what she was walking into.

Chester’s snack is much redder and is also longer than its competitor. Andy’s is shaped like a tiny, short stick with vibrant orange coloring. Seidi notes that it tastes like a regular cheese puff with a tiny hint of spice, but certainly not as much as the cheetah’s. They have a price point of $2.29 (Chester’s) and $2.49 (Andy Capp’s), respectively, making it a slim competition with only a 20-cent difference. Chester’s fries contain real cheddar and romano cheeses, while Capp’s relies on whey protein and tons of spices to provide flavor. They’re very similar in texture, but the smaller pieces in Andy’s product have more crunch and texture variety.

Andy Capp’s packaging is very outdated and definitely needs a revamp, but this snack is SLIGHTLY healthier than Chester’s fries because there are fewer preservatives and less food coloring. Overall, the taste of the cheetah’s fries propelled them to victory with a rating of 5/5 over Andy Capp’s 3.5/5.

Which snack is spicier? Chester’s Hot Fries vs Andy Capp’s Comparison

Let’s summarize this review from @mwariduck about her thoughts on Chester’s and Andy Capp’s Hot Fries. Unlike most people, Mari grew up eating the Capp’s fries rather than the Chester’s ones, so opening the blue bag hit her with a wave of nostalgia. There is a very mild smell of Andy’s, while Chester’s has a strong, unpleasant scent that this reviewer compared to “a used shoebox.” Yuck!

However, there is very minimal heat to the Andy Capp’s snack while Chester’s provides a more intense kick. As a result, the blue bag is quite bland, while the taste of cheese is noticeable enough to make a large difference. Regardless, neither snack is spicy enough for Mari, who enjoys feeling the pain of spiciness.

In terms of texture, she was not a fan of the sudden sogginess of the bright red fries that hit her after the first bite, while the orange ones retained their crunch throughout multiple chews. In the end, Andy Capp’s earned 4/5 stars while Chester’s received 4.5/5.
