I as soon as performed this online game… I don’t bear in mind the precise title, however the object was to seek out as many golden rings as potential.
This furry blue dude ran round gathering them in order that he may finally purchase his freedom from a mad scientist formed like an egg. His title was “Static” or one thing. I believe it was based mostly on a real story.
Anyway, these golden rings all the time jogged my memory of Funyuns. Why? I don’t know. That is clearly a pretend story, so simply go along with it. I imply, come on, who’s by no means heard of Sarnac the Muskrat?
I’ll say this: if ol’ Sarnac needed to accumulate Spicy Queso Funyuns, he’d most likely simply find yourself maintaining all of them for himself and coping with the results.
Yeah, these exist. In a uncommon transfer, Frito Lay has let Funyuns department out with a brand new Spicy Queso taste.
I wanted a bit of ring redemption after my final assessment of Snyder’s Oktoberfest Rings, and whereas I preferred these rather a lot, I gotta let the dangerous earlier than the nice – they don’t actually style like Funyuns.
I consider they got down to add a cheese taste to the long-lasting taste, however the onion essence principally will get spiced out. It’s a little bit of a bummer, however I recommend approaching these as Funyuns in form and texture type solely. If you happen to’re acquainted with Frito Lay’s queso dip, I believe these really tasted prefer it in crisp type, so there’s some good model synergy there.
As I crunched on, I began getting taste vibes of two different snacks – Andy Capp’s Sizzling Fries and the latest Chili Cheese Doritos 3D’s. If Sizzling Fries, the warmth stage is barely beneath these, however they’ve very comparable textures. The lingering stage of spice and cheesiness jogged my memory of 3Ds, though these leaned extra in the direction of a “beefy” chili taste, so simply think about a Funyun ring that tastes like a spicy cheddar with a pinch of jalapeño. I’ve by no means tried Flamin’ Sizzling Funyuns, however I think these are barely hotter total.
So far as the crunch goes, I used to be pleasantly shocked. I’ve in contrast Funyuns to Cap’n’ Crunch prior to now as a result of they normally tear my palate up. Fortunately, that didn’t occur right here as a result of the standard mouth shred paired with a spicy taste most likely would’ve destroyed my tastebuds.
General, these are very stable, however I used to be utterly glad with a small bag. The flavour is sweet, however I want the standard Funyun taste was ramped up. I’ve by no means dipped an onion ring in queso, so who is aware of, these might be 100% correct. They’re not an enchancment on the originals however a robust spinoff. So far as ring-based snack critiques go, I’m batting .500.
Perhaps this may result in additional expansions of the Funyuns model. Dealer Joe’s used to make a Candy Onion-flavored Funyun knockoff that was elite, and I’d like to see Frito-Lay attempt that subsequent.
Right here’s hoping my subsequent assessment isn’t ring-based as a result of I don’t really feel like doing a bit about watching that one horror film. It was a couple of ghost mime popping out of a videotape or one thing. I believe it’s based mostly on a real story.
