Disappointed with Pringles "Fiery Hot" chips
 
Hot my ass. These things are a joke.

If you've seen the commercial, you'd know what I mean. While I though the imagery and use of O Fortuna in the background to depict ultimate horror was good, I find the actual product to be severly lacking and not living up to the advertisment.

The commercial got me all hyped up thinking I was finally going to have a good snack with a nice kick but once again get nothing but disappointment. The Friday's Fire bites Habenero are much hotter than these and they're not even that hot.

Has anyone else tried them?

there will NEVER be a good "hot" mainstream american snack. the average white american(other than from the south), just cannot eat spicy food. even when companies put "habenero" on the label of their snack, the habenero content is so small that they might as well have just used bell peppers. same thing goes for hotsauce and salsa, most of the hot ones might as well be used as spaghetti sauce cuz they are so bland. every now and then i will find a good snack thats actually spicy, but stores dont restock them cuz i guess most of the other people who bought them had a ------- heart attack or something.

get a bag of fritos, a lime, and some tapatio. sqeeze the lime onto the fritos, then put alot of tapatio. mmmmm....its tha bomb diggity ;D.

I am also not satisfied with the Pringles line. I was once addicted to the salt and vinegar chips, but they have lost there zip. I tried the "pizza-licous" flavor and I was on the edge of ralfing. Those are very nasty and I can't see how the marketing guys could have let that slip by as a "good idea". Very bad. :-X

I am also not satisfied with the "Chips ahoy'" soft cookies. They are far from soft and they don't retain milk very well. They have poor floating abilities and they fall apart very easily after soaking in milk. I have since never strayed far from the Keebler "Chips Deluxe" soft and chewy style. There is no comparison.

normally i cant stand tabasco sauce, its like 99% vinegar lol. most other "louisiana" style hot sauces taste better. however, i must agree with you about the cheese-its. i was very pleasantly surprised when i tried those(i half expected them to taste like ----). very very yummy product which i would recommend to anyone.

Yeah, don't get it twisted. When a company decides to make a new product, they're only concerned with what white people will think. ::) ???

lol... you know what i mean. i hope this doesnt turn into some racial bullshit. im just saying that the majority of people in this country are white. most white people cant eat very spicy food. why would they make something if most of their target market cant eat it? so dont get it twisted...lol.

also, to add to what i just said- toning down the spiciness of snacks is just a tactic so that everybody can eat it and enjoy it, not just a select minority of the population. im sorry if you seem offended. i am merely trying to state that it makes more economic sense to make not-so-spicy snacks that EVERYONE can enjoy, and snack companies are just trying to make money like any other business.
