Hating Sabritones is a sure sign of a bland palate and a life lived without adventure. Destroy the walls, my friends. Sabritones are delicious, and are a gustatory adventure from start to finish. You sound like children who refuse to explore new flavors, their faces scrunched into hate-balls reflexively.

Enjoy your lives of mashed-potato blandness; I’m using my limited time alive to taste everything.

What a bunch of wusses You all must be from the east coast. Toughen up. Sabritons are a good snack food, and much better for you than those other things.

See, Sabritones is owned by Frito-Lays and depending on your region, you may stumble into a metric ton of different kinds of those types of chips. I will touch none of these flavors because they all contain some kind of chili spice, something that makes my mouth catch on fire for far too long. If you’d like i’d be glad to send you some alternate flavors for all your friends!

Any type of snack that can be construed as a “puffy crotch weevil” is an automatic no-go. I salute you in keeping the front lines of snacking safe for the rest of us.

You did the right thing by having other people tasting them too. What’s the point in really bad food unless everybody has some?

You should run a tournament table at OVGE where the winner gets nothing, but the losers have to eat these. There’s motivation for ya.

This story reminds me of a party I attended in college in which my soon-to-be best friend/boyfriend had brought a bag of jalapeno-flavored chips. I took one bite and had to go spit it out. It was horrendous too. That was back in 1993 and it was only a few months ago that I actually dared to taste other jalapeno-flavored chips.

I’m sure the trauma you imposed on your friends will live on infamously!

There is no possible way anyone did any consumer testing on those puffy crotch weevils at any point, from product development to when they were placed on the shelf. And they are INSTANTLY terrible as well. This isn’t one of those things where you realize it’s terrible only once you’ve fully committed, like an Irish car bomb or, more generally, communism. They are reprehensible from the very beginning.
