WTF: Late Night Cheeseburger Doritos?!

After late night partying last weekend, I needed a snack to munch on. So my friends and I went to a bodega to find a quick fix. Saw these Late Night Cheeseburger Doritos. Um.. super weird flavor? Yes! It joins the array of other weird snacks in the market like TGIFriday's Cheddar and Bacon Potato Skin Chips or Heinz Ketchup Potato Chips (which I love :-X). Anyway, I'm always down for super weird eats so I decided to try it. For $0.99? What do I have to lose? This foodie is willing to take a chance. So I ate one chip and I was confused as hell! My taste buds couldn't really decipher the taste so after the first crunch, I just kept eating them until I could distinguish its actual flavor. It definitely smelled like cheeseburgers but it had a meat and mustard and some ketchup and some onions kick to it. I think Doritos purposely threw in different tastes to confuse our flavor pallets so that we keep eating and eating! SMART! Sneaky sneaky! These chips were definitely a cheese Dorito once upon a time and was reincarnated with meat powder or something. The snack is super weird but not terrible. I'll probably eat it again if I have a craving for it but I wouldn't buy them by the bulk and keep them in my pantry. This flavor was actually a part of a campaign that Doritos ran in 2007 called "Doritos X-13D Flavor Experiment" where black bags were sold on the market for consumers to decipher the flavor. This one was hinted as "An American Classic". Would you try this?

Sweet and Salty Bugles?

Check out these gnarly "Sweet & Salty" Bugles combo!  Saw them at a convenience store in Pennsylvania. When I think of Bugles, I think of the red bag of funnel shaped corn chips that I loved when I was younger. I don't know man, corn chips with chocolate and peanut butter? or caramel? Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE Chocolate Chex Mix or the Turtles Chex Mix but I think it's because there's a mix of different flavors. If I want to go salty, I'll eat the pretzel or if I wanted something sweet, I'll eat the caramel popcorn. The Chex Mix gives you flavor options whereas these Sweet & Salty Bugles give you corn chips mixed in with some sweet. Eek! Well, to each its own right? Unfortunately we were in a rush and I didn't get to buy the two bags, just snapped a quick iPhone pic. Weird flavor combos just intrigue me. Gnarly flavors are huge in Japan and not so much in the US- so when I see snacks like this, I take interest. Have you tried any of these flavors? If so- let me know! I will try to look for them in the NY area. Like all snacks, I'd give it a try. FYI, each bag is $1.99.
