Billed as a 'light curly potato snack' I somehow thought these would be like Cheetos. They are not! Well - they might be taste-wise, but they aren't shape...wise. Got these at the British shop where I've purchased some other goodies. Actually... I probably need to go back soon. Anyway - these are 'cheese flavour' so I expect these will taste like cheese.
Off the bat - I was confused by the shape. They look like Fritos, but smell like Cheetos! How do they do such sorcery?
But what do they taste like?
A little, and not unpleasantly, like a cheese Funyun. And... I'm kinda okay with that. It's like a Funyun without all the little nibblies that fall off of it, and with a hint of cheese. Salty, yet a little savory, but mostly salty. The cheese is pretty fake tasting, but that's to be expected really.
Eating them is noisy, but the actual chip isn't hard - it's rather soft. They're also weird shapes which is fun, but sometimes hard to grab a handful as bits fall off. I mostly taste salt over cheese, but hey - I am a big fan of salt, so that's no problem for me. I think I'd like these better if they were cheesier (hey - they're cheese flavour - I want what I pay for), but I am rather fond of them.
I'd definitely get these again, despite the cheese tasting a little chemically. There's something fun about eating them and how noisy they are while also being delicious. They're almost a little too salty, but not enough that it bothers me.

Great review. We just tried these for the first time and they are a bit unusual.
