UPSIDE:
The Frito-Lay company has always impressed me with their bi-annual tradition of new Doritos flavors, moving beyond the original "Nacho Cheese" paradigm into Ranch territory, Taco-flavored, Spicy, and now this one. The amount of chips provided definitely put this bag in the "Big Grab" category, although it isn't labeled as such. The chips themselves are representative of the standard Doritos crunch factor, and as far as the taste goes, the richness of Frito-Lay's Cooler Ranch and the spiciness of their Spicy Nacho flavors are both present. Made an excellent complement to the bottle of Surge I bought. Solid connection between product name and the packaging (see below).
DOWNSIDE:
The fact that this container contains 3.5 servings makes it easy to exceed your recommended daily allowance of sodium and Yellow #6.
1ST 4 INGREDIENTS:
Corn
Vegetable Oil
Maltodextrin
Salt
LAST 4 INGREDIENTS:
Dry Lemon Juice
Natural Cilantro Flavor
Natural Chicken Flavor (!)
Yeast Extract
PACKAGING:
A brilliant green bag (hence the "verde") with script lettering at the top proclaiming "Salsa Verde!"
Strange impressionist "nino" graces upper right hand corner.
DO I RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS YOURSELF? (YES/NO - EXPLAIN):
Yes. One should experience all flavors of the Doritos cornucopia.
WHICH SOUTH PARK CHARACTER WOULD LIKE IT BEST?:
Mephisto would enjoy them due to their hybrid nature.
How the product can be improved:
Addition of some secret toy surprise, such as lick'em stick'em tattoos or small magnifying glasses. Also suggest giving the little round kid on the packaging some nickname or snazzy catch phrase.
