Nothing will ever beat Tapatio Doritos for me, but I will try these.

This OP is impeccable. Thank you for your continued dedication in the Flamin' Hot quest of life.

I need to find that Chipotle Ranch flavor.

Teased in 2019, Flamin' Hot Kettle Chips should be making their way to stores now, so keep an eye out if you are a kettle chip fan!

Oh yeess! I'm in for some flamin' hot kettle chips. I didn't realize how comprehensive and complex this flavoring type had both in breadth and depth. I have much to learn.

Why are Taco Bell's best items always some limited time item... Get rid of regular soft tacos, bring back Naked Chicken Chalupas.

Please for the love of god, make a kettle cooked flamin hot dill pickle chip. I can't stand regular Lays texture but love that flavor so much.

It's part of the appeal cycle.

They sell 'premium' products for a limited time at a cheaper cost than their regular tacos/burritos.

Then they take them away and see how people react, and decide whether or not to bring them back and restart the hype later.

I think there is a website dedicated to all the promotions they've introduced and phased out/in.

Just grabbed flamin hot smart food at target which I hadn't seen before. This thread came right to mind and I'm glad it's been discussed, this shit kicks.

I've been searching everywhere for the Flamin' Hot Habenero Cheetos but I can't find them anyway.

I will take consolation in the fact that the Flamin' Hot Limon Dorito's are readily available. When does the Paqui 1 chip challenge usually go on sale? I love the Ghost Pepper chips and have been itching to try the OCC.

Is this the Flamin' Hot White Cheddar popcorn?


Because i'm eating that right now for the first time and its a solid 9/10
yup, it's really solid

I'm glad that it's seemingly sticking around for good, it's a solid step up from the other FH popcorn

very easy to binge, too, so i gotta pace myself when i get a bag

absolutely. And I already really like the regular FH popcorn. But that's obsolete now.
the white cheddar just really stands alongside the spice really well

the other popcorn is good, but that extra white cheddar hit really elevates the Smartfood popcorn

No luck with the FH Limon Doritos today, but I did finally find these Xtra FH Staxx tonight, and I love them.

my biggest issues with them are the chip texture and the flavor consistency, but other than that they usually have a nice thick coating of Flamin' Hot on them, solid snacks

my only wish is that i could have Flamin' Hot flavor but on a more Pringle-like crisp

I picked up a jar of that Mrs. Renfro's ghost pepper salsa and a bag of Flamin' Hot Doritos at the supermarket this evening. LET THE WEEKEND BEGIN.

List:

5. FH Rold Gold Thins
4. FH Frito's
3. FH XXTRA
2. FH Dill Pickle
1. FH Smartfood Popcorn
I would agree with most of this list. I'd switch Dill and Frito's though. And put chipotle ranch Cheetos at 1. The XX is good but a bit much. I also had no idea Rold Gold's were a thing but those sound awesome. Where do you find them?

I like these quite a bit. They aren't too overpowering and I like the texture.

I found the Lay's Kettle Flamin' Hot this past weekend at my local Walmart. Are these new? Or have I just been out of the loop on them? Got two snack sized bags that they had in front near the self service checkout. I enjoyed them. Would be good with a dip.

lol, you don't have to do that

you should always enjoy the Flamin' Hot you have, while you have it!

im a freak who will look across state boarders for Flamin' Hot, but that doesn't mean you have to too!

As a guy with Mexican parents I have also grown to dislike the spicy + lime/lemon combination. Everyone in Mexico can't eat anything spicy without adding lime too it it seems. I've grown tired of it.

get you some of these when you got time, the reaper ranch is HOT
Just tried them all. The Reaper and Nacho ones are great, the Chipotle Cheddar one tastes like actual garbage.
The Reaper one is mild compared to other stuff ERA has mentioned before. The Fire sauce spices it up a bit, but the actual ranch itself is more than enough for most. It also tastes great!

My SO eats spicy+lemon fruits and such every 3 days or so. I mean, at least it's close enough to my culture to say that she's embracing it. lol

These are better than I was expecting, full thoughts to come.

Just bought a bag and had some. They are definetly good. They aren't as good as the regular Doritos FHs. The originals have such a good balance of nacho cheese taste flavor AND flamin hot aspect. With these Limons, it taste like the limon flavor is overpowering the cheese flavor too much.

Def good. The OG 'Tos FHs are truth.

I like lime in spicy foods but the lime flavoring used in snack foods is usually off-putting to me. I'll probably still try the Doritos after I finish shedding some of this holiday/vacation weight but it'll probably be a miss with me.

the lime is pretty strong in the Doritos, but it works better than i thought they would

the like acts like a flash in the pan, sparks up your taste buds

like with the dill chips, the Flamin' Hot works well at counterbalancing the sour notes, but unlike the normal lays where the chip flavor isn't really a factor, with Doritos the corn flavor finish works well

not as easy to eat as some chips, it's a real shock to the system depending on how much flavor coating is on the chip, but pretty interesting

So I encountered two new items at 7-11, Cheetos Flaming Hot Popcorn (different than Chesters Flaming Hot) and Flaming Hot Kettle Chips. Tried the popcorn and it tasted cheesier while being subtly hot. Anyone tried the kettle chips?

I tried the Limon recently. I'm a fan of the sour lime that smacks you in the face. It's so strong that I couldn't eat much and just binge them down. Natural portion control. I have a leftover bag of Flamin' Hot Munchies to follow, but the Limon is lasting me longer than I thought it would.
