Look at it this way though, how many potatoes do you think are in a packet of shop bought baked crisps? - not very much at all.
Would anyone of us eat those and not syn them? - I would hope not.
These really are not any different.
Snacks such as crisps, chocolate etc, dont qualify as having any free food allowance. Therefore when working out the syns for crisps, you can't select a free food allowance first, like you can for foods such as mashed potatoes etc. They are worked out using 1 syn for every 20 calories.
Whether you buy baked crisps in a packet from or make them yourself using frylight, there really isnt that huge of a difference, the same rule applies hence why SW don't allow these to be counted as free.
I've been doing SW on and off for 6 years (interspersed with various other diets ) and these crisps has been a topic of conversation so many times. SW crisps are basically potatoes with the moisture / water removed - much in the same way that raisins are grapes with the moisture / water removed. Why then would crisps be free but not raisins???
Everyone has a right to flext the plan as they choose, but if you do choose to (and I had some SW crisps last week) understand that you are not truly sticking to plan and *may* find that it affects your weight loss.
Well that's my two-penneth, take it or leave it

Lol. The way people have to think of it is that sw don't just make up these rules for the sake of annoying us. It is food abuse according to sw so well said x

Hmm . . Im so glad that I'm not really fussed about crisps or snacky things cos it sounds like it's a lose lose situation when it comes to crisps. I say go for it and if u see a change in your weightloss then you know who the culprit is and if u dont see a change then they obviously aren't doing you any harm!

At the end of the day that can be applied to everything. Extra bar or chocolate? pizza etc etc. Slimming world have this rules as it is a diet hence why they give u a set number of syns. Obviously if they say u must syn these free foods when using them different you have too. It May not make a huge difference at the time but they mount up. One potato won't make a huge difference like we have previous said but unfortunatly you do have to syn these as it is food abuse like you would syn smoothness etc x
