Hint of Lime; Harassment of Citric Acid Salts
Of course, I’m referring to a <a href=”http://www.flickr.com/photos/freshandeasy/3505131891/”>variety of Tortilla Chips</a>.
In the past I’ve made similar remarks on the “white cheddar” version of CHEEZ-IT crackers. It’s fine in liquid form in citrus (and other) fruits at natural levels but when you use concentrated salts of it to claim “white cheddar” or “lime” flavor, it’s really disingenuous. I recently bought a small (85g) bag of the linked-to chips and tried to eat them, expecting a minor lime flavor with some “sea salt.” Instead, I got almost enough acid on my tongue to dissolve a Mexican drug war participant.
I don’t know if anyone other than I actually tries to eat these things without a 32 oz. soda but they should have a slogan along the lines of “I bet you won’t want to eat more than 5.”
