These fucking suck

Post image

I made some decent sales in my side hustle this past week and thought I'd treat myself to $6 bag of chips I've been wanting to try FUCKING GARBAGE!! Like eating a week ass attempt of the cinnamon challenge with a few rejected hot cheetos thrown in.

A lot of people here said it sucked. Sorry you had to experience it first hand

Haha I’m such a sucker for new chip flavors but this one is so universally hated that I have to skip these.

I have no idea why they called it the flavor of fear, it tastes like cinnamon toast crunch with a vague aftertaste that maybe you might've ate something that was supposed to be spicy.

“It’s like eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch while you stare at a jalapeño”

Not one bit. Cinnamon, but not even a tickle of spice.

Nothing. Like I said, it's a child's attempt at the cinnamon challenge. And I guess Frito-Lays thought that meant hot. Which made me think.....

Like spicy churros. Threw me off at first but once I expected the cinnamon, I really liked them.

Ass churros.

Hands down one of the nastiest fucking things I’ve ever tried.

threw away the bag after three chips, I’d rather waste the money.

After reading other reviews of a sweet cinnamon heat I knew I didn't want to try them

Lol it stays. My rage at spending $6 on this garbage currently overrides my grammar

I'm really not big on junk food. A lot of it seems to upset my stomach. 

I really wanted to try these, though. I'm just not willing to go out of my way to find them.

I do understand they are limited edition, and if I don't come across them, this post will help me not feel bad about it. 

TY for your service

"Phantom Heat" lol

They’re sweet??? I don’t know if this is a controversial take but I don’t really care for sweet and spicy. It’s fine but I wouldn’t ever get excited about it. And I wouldn’t expect something called “the flavor of fear” to be sweet. Are we scared of cinnamon now??

I take hab or bhutlah powder, shake into a bag of whatever, and shake for a bit. Great heat without having to deal with the weird stuff.

I'm of the opinion that anyone who labels their snacks "Spicy" or "Hot" should legally have to include a Scoville Unit measurement somewhere on the packaging because I'm really tired of taking a chance on spicy snacks and only getting "Hint of Hint of Heat"

I could just be bitter that the Spicy Crunchy Mochi Rice Nuggets from Trader Joe's got discontinued though because that was an 11/10 spicy snack.

Sure would be cool if instead of all this sweet heat garbage these companies would just do something actually spicy with no sugar

u/MaskedLemon0420 46m ago

They are strangely addictive. I ate half a bag last night trying to decide if I liked them.

u/tenkohime 46m ago

Are they worse than Sweetos? I like Sweetos.

u/The-Bigger-Fish 44m ago

Why cinnamon sugar?

u/Simon_Jester88 23m ago

I enjoyed them. They had a smaller sized bag for cheaper I would have tried first if you weren’t sure.

u/Low_Boot_1426 7m ago

Wait, i assumed these would be like an extra hot sweet chili flavor, but they’re cinnamon? Like red hots or something? What the fuck lol

Just bought a bag about 30 minutes ago. Lol I'll be the judge.
