At first glance these seem pretty much exactly like the Doritos Dinamita Chile Limon chips I tried a few months ago. I've also, via the internet, discovered the Fuego means fire? Apparently I'm in for some mouth burn-y ness. Hooray? I should've known when the bag said it was a 'hot chili pepper & lime flavored corn snack'.
But what do they taste like?
Not fiery pain at first - they're actually pretty good. A very lime-y type thing going on. But then the pain. Ow - it was so strong I actually coughed, just because what else was there to go?! Trying again. A bit better this time, but then as soon as I try to actually eat the chip, rather than just chew it, it burns my throat something fierce. Spike-y bits of ow that still make me cough. There's kinda... no way around it which is a bummer, as I like how they taste. Even the mouth burn I'm getting isn't unpleasant... it's just the fact that I can't actually eat them without my throat hurting. It's a bit better with each subsequent chip, but it still hurts.
At first bite they actually taste a lot like Fritos and then there's a kinda nice chili-lime flavor, but then I try to swallow and pain. I can't eat these in polite company, or in any company for that matter! I'd just be sitting there coughing, with my eyes watering and my nose running. That sounds super appealing, no?
The problem is... I actually kinda like the flavor. Despite the pain... I keep eating them. It helps a little to take a drink of water while eating, which kinda dilutes it, but defeats the purpose of a chip really. So, while I like the flavor, I can't eat them without coughing and having mouth pain so I can't really rate these highly. Still... I do like the flavor if only it didn't try to hurt me.
