Shoppers ‘divided’ over new $4 cheesy chips at Woolies
- Replies 6
Attention, cheese lovers!
It seems like Woolies has just released new flavours for their famous Calbee Melts potato chips – and Aussies from everywhere are running just to get their hands on them!
The new cheesy flavours – Original Cheese and Cheeseburger – have recently hit the supermarket shelves and are now available for purchase in-store and online.
But are they really worth the hype? One foodie is here to share her verdict with us.

In one of her videos on the popular video-sharing platform TikTok, Jen, a foodie from Melbourne, weighed in on whether the two new chip flavours live up to the hype or not.
Much to her surprise, she saw “actual cheese melts” on each individual chip, getting visibly excited when she showed them on the video clip. It also appears that the Original Cheese variant has more cheese on them, as compared with the Cheeseburger flavour.
Rating the two flavours out of 10, Jen gives the Original Cheese flavour an 8 while the Cheeseburger flavour receives a mere 6.5 out of 10.
And while she may have described the chips as “weird” in one of her comments, she also added that they were “so rich and addicting” that she couldn’t help but reach into the bag for more.
Some viewers who have also tried the new flavours commented on her video and expressed their opinion on the products. A few of them did say that they found the chips to be incredibly tasty, while others were not huge fans.
“The cheese was a bit too gooey,” wrote one user, while another added: “I was hoping the cheese would be more solid.”
Jen responded by saying that while she enjoyed the chips, she would probably only buy them again if she was really craving them. “Fun for a one-off though,” the commenter added.
But for some shoppers, they were still eager to give the new flavours a go. After all, you can never have too much cheese on your chips!
“Wow I need to try this,” wrote one woman, while another commented that Jen’s videos have her running to the supermarket every week.
The new flavours of Calbee Melts potato chips are exclusive to Woolworths Australia and just hit the shelves a few weeks ago. A spokesperson from the supermarket giant said they were pleased to see that customers were liking the new flavours.
The Calbee Melts Chips range is available for $4 at 170g variants. (And we have also noticed that Woolies are currently offering them for only $3.50 on their website so you might want to check them out quick!)
Guess we’ll see you guys in the Woolies snack aisle, eh?
