I had the Classic salted(oh so boring na), Tomato and Roasted spices(I hate those red veggies), Mint flavor with herbs and Special Pindi Masala to choose from. Obviously as I love food which has lots of spices and chillies I opted for this variant. I wonder why manufactures resist to introduce new flavours and hopelessly they try to stick to the tried and trusted flavours .hummph
Did I love it? Oh God! these crackers were heavenly, the myriad of tastes tantalizing my tongue. It was just melting in my mouth, the different tastes finally merging into one. It tastes sweet, salty and a bit sour, every bite has a different taste. I couldn’t resist myself after eating just one, the Lays Ad fits for this too. Last week I was unwell and anything that I ate was tasting like mud, ughh! The packet of Aliva came to my rescue and after days I tasted something nice again, wish I had remembered the packet earlier. One must eat it slowly, take a bite savour the taste of and let it melt on your tongue. Think of what you can do with it, let loose your imagination:P
It can be served at tea to sudden guests when you don’t have time to prepare snacks at home. They can be eaten at anytime, even make it a mid-night snack or they can come handy if you have the dangerous habit of munching while watching the idiot box or reading.

I have yet to an advertisement of this product in media or maybe I must have missed it. If properly advertised, this product may surpass the sales of Kurkure. As it is, Kurkure is attracting lot of negative publicity, Frito-Lay has made a smart move by introducing this new product. Yes, this product is manufactured by Frito-Lay Division of Pepsico India Holdings Private Limited. By keeping tabs on market pulse, Frito-Lay can come up with more Promotional schemes. Right now it is offered at a discount of two rupees, thereby retailing it at Rs 12. They can combine it with other products and give a good offer to the consumer. Another Promotional scheme that they can come up is offer a smaller pack of different flavour free with a 60g pack.
It has a shelf life of six months but it is always advisable to consume within one month of manufacturing date. A self made rule is I never buy any eatables that were manufactured more than a month before.
So what are you waiting for, go and grab a packet of Aliva, I don’t wanna share my pack with anyone.
