I will try any new flavor of corn chip, no matter how stupid. Black Pepper Jack? Sign me up. Dill Pickle? OK.
I’ll try these things *once.* It’s impressively rare for one of these new flavors to become a standard. I do remember when they introduced Cool Ranch. That was a fine day. Also Chili Cheese Fritos. That was an even better day, assuming you were stoned.
Long story short, I brought home a back of Blazing Buffalo and Ranch Doritos. (Why not just “Blazing Buffalo Ranch”?) I wasn’t expecting much. The Black Pepper Jack is pretty terrible. But these are great. It’s basically Cool Ranch, only spicy. If there were a ballot, I’d vote to keep them. But, then, I would have voted to keep many other things, like Hershey’s Cookies and Mint Nuggets, the Monorail, and Wonderfalls, so the powers that be obviously aren’t counting my vote. Therefore, grab these Buffalo-style chips while you can.
It’s too bad they don’t taste like buffalo.
Oh, man, Chili Cheese Fritos. The only Frito more addictive was the “Wild & Mild Ranch” flavor. It’s probably a good thing (for me, anyway) they stopped making those. I’ll have to try these Buffalo chips… erm.
Have you tried the Habanero Doritos? A little mild for my taste, but folks with fewer burned-out taste buds claim that they have a respectable bite.
I think I tried them. They must not have made much of an impression, though. I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
Are they dripping with buffalo sauce? If not, they probably won’t measure up in my book. It’s the same reason that frozen buffalo wings never do either. An item I wish I had been asked to vote on: Coke’s C2.
