NACHO CHEESE BUGLES

I HAVE BEEN SEEKING THESE EVER SINCE THE ONE ILL-FATED DAY WHICH I CHOSE TROLLI BRIGHT CRAWLERS OVER THESE IN A NYS THRUWAY REST STOP.




A-PLUS SUNOCO CONVENIENCE STORE ON A ROAD THAT IS WESTBOUND FROM KING OF PRUSSIA, PA, I THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENJOY THESE CHIP VARIETALS AGAIN.

I WOULD RATE THESE A 5/5. MUCH BETTER THAN CLASSIC BUGLES IMHO, WITH A LIGHT DUSTING OF CHEESE POWDER (CHEDDAR, BLUE CHEESE, MSG, TOMATO) THAT I THOUGHT HAD A NICE TOUCH. FLAVOR WAS STRONG ENOUGH, AND WELL PAIRED WITH THE STRONG CORNYNESS OF THE BUGLE, BUT WAS NOT HEAVY LIKE A DORITO GETS AFTER YOU'VE EATEN HALF A BAG. COULD HAVE DEFINITELY EATEN A SNACK BAG BY MYSELF BUT HAD TO SHARE W CAMDEN.

ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM EVERYONE THAT MODERN DAY BUGLES DO NOT FIT ON ADULT FINGERS WITH EASE. I HAD TO PICK THROUGH THE BAG TO FIND WIDELY SPACED ONES.


PLEASE ENJOY THESE IF YOU FIND THEM ANYWHERE. YOU WILL ENJOY THE CRUNCH, THE SHAPE, THE FLAVOR, AND HOW NONE OF THEM BREAK IN THE BAG EVEN WHEN YOU DROP IT ON THE CAR FLOOR AND EAT THE SPILLED ONES OFF THE DIRTY MAT BECAUSE THEY ARE THAT GOOD. YEP.

new bag technology

hi there, i wanted to write a post about a new snack food bag technology that really appeals to me -- the "grip n pour" bag.



it is narrower than a typical snack sized bag.

i came across this bag in a tigermart at a NYS Thruway rest stop, and it was from the rocky mountain popcorn company. good thing! because i have really been craving and thus eating a lot of white cheddar popcorn lately. so i quickly picked up a bag of this white cheddar popcorn, even though it was nearly half the weight of the smartfood and the same price.

well, the popcorn was delicious, and sometimes we need to trust the small time flavor scientists and snack experts to get it right. nice light cheddar flavor. i am very curious to try the "southwest" cheddar flavor of these. hopefully i will find them in my travels someday.

but back on the main subject, from a young age, i have always been an advocate of what my sister calls "drinking" the chips bag when it gets to the end, which is what the "grip n pour" bag logo looks like it is advocating. so obviously i was really into that.

where the idea fell short is that it was not convenient for driving. my partner was driving our car, and his man hands were getting stuck in the narrower bag, so i had to pull the bag off his non-steering-wheel-hand. then, he tried to grab n pour and his visibility was nonexistent. i would not suggest that to readers.

anyway, if you are really committed (i don't recommend this because once i did it with berries n cherries welch's fruit snacks and it really was the worst), you can buy a dozen of these 1.5 oz bags on the website -- OPEN ROAD SNACKS . COM

wish they had a variety pack!

3.5/5 - solid flavor, love the concept, unsure of execution, would definitely give it a second try
