Anyone else addicted?

I can't stop eating them!

Bought 3 bags of cheese and jalapeno (i think) coming friday

3 of the big 280g bags for £12 is pretty good

Do report back when you get them! Especially if it really is 3 x 280g bags and not just 280g total weight.

My treat every now and then is the Flaming Hot Cheetos from Amazon. Even more ridiculously expensive, but really quite moreish.

I think they will be, but yes will do.
I had a box of 6 packs of 280g Fuegos from them a couple of weeks ago and they were as described.

£4 a bag lol they are nice but that’s a bit steep really. Maybe I am just getting tight in my older years

Those bags are about a tenner in the shops if you can find them! Most don't stock the 280g bags.

Will report back once I try them, probably tomorrow night with an Aspalls or 2

Testing the nacho explosion now.
No where near as hot, still decently spicy, loads of cheesy goodness flavour though.
The other half who doesn't like as spicy as I do said ohh these are good.

Reading the label on a Takis packet it says they are corn rather than potatoe.
I have never been a fan of the corn/maize crisps so not sure to buy or not?

Any fans compared the Takis to the Walkers MAX chilli and lime range of crisps?
The Walkers chilli and lime are addictive, something about the flavour keeps you dipping the bag.

They are rolled tortilla chips in effect
So if you don't like tortillas you wont like these

They are at this price basically the same price as a bag of Doritos (180g for £2.5) and they are far superior.
I see plenty of people buying Doritos so not really sure what the issue is.

I am sure I could go through everyones shopping and see some things I thought were overpriced.
We all have our own vices, decent spicy stuff is mine!

Thx for the feedback, I will give them a miss.
I am OK with the taco type wafers when they are filled with a minced beef chilli mix but dont like Doritos and similar.

Personally, the best "hot" crisps of recent years have been Walkers MAX chilli and lime, now discontinued I believe?
We stopped buying them as it was a guaranteed demolotion job on a full bag every time one was opened.

Agree think they were discond.
They moved to some new ones. Chili and lime is a classic taste really.

Nice, my box of 6 packs of fuego arrived this morning

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

my local Aldi have them in now £3.49 for a 180g bag.

Which ones did you see?

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Ive got some new ones :
Zombie

Which is habanero and cucumber
They give a heavy cucumber hit then wham! the habanero kicks in

They look like the blue ones but a dark green, will get some photos up

Not seen the extreme ones again that I first had, they were bonkers hot!
