| Taki's look like they'd be right up my alley. What isn't up my alley is the horrific branding of "jonuts". |

| That Jonut is shocking. You can't mess with perfection! |

| Chuffed that the Snack Reviews thread is back, it’s the automatic Topic of the Year 2023. Where did you get those Takis Fuegos? I’ve never seen them before. ~ What is it? – Who doesn’t know what Cheddars are? They’re God’s favourite cheese snack biscuit, generously garnished with a spicy and peppery powder. Are they good? – They’re absolutely fantastic. I loved the chargrilled oakiness that you get off of paprika, but sometimes the heat spoils that taste a bit. Not in this case though, you’re just taking the addictiveness of Cheddars and adding the moreishness of a woody paprika flavour. It’s like when Newcastle had Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse up front together. It’s a sensational combination. “Oh no...” Do I recommend them? – You’re damn right. These were in stock with all the other Christmas and party food throughout the last few months of 2022, but after New Year the local supermarkets were reducing them to clear from £2. I last saw them at 50p in Tesco, but I heard they’re now 20p for a tub in Sainsburys. I’d leave the house right now to get a few tubs if I were you - it doesn’t matter if you’re far away, or even if you’re dressed – GO GO GO!!! |

| Can you ever get bad mini chedders? Nice write up. - Cappa wrote:

This, and we've started off with some quality offerings too (and also those cursed Jaffa Cake abominations - burn them in Fuego). |

| Quickfire Mini-ReviewsWhisky Flavoured Tablet - I'm not a big whiskey fan at all. I can just about drink bourbon in mixer and not pull a face. This was a welcome surprise, then: the bitterness of the whiskey offsets the sweetness of the tablet and comes up with a thoroughly decent result, even for a whiskey sceptic. B-Vanilla Macaroon - I'm not a big coconut fan either. This had no right to be as good as it was. No right I say. And yet, it didn't taste a lot of coconut: it tasted a lot of vanilla and chocolate. Big fan. A+Gaelic Coffee Flavoured Fudge - The coffee taste is quite light, so this is pretty close to a traditional fudge with a small kick to it. In the same way I'm grateful that the tablet didn't go too hard on the whiskey, this gets the balance right. B+Fluffy Squirtle, GNamer CD - Not recommended as snacks. The cardboard should be edible at least. E- |

| Those coffee and Whiskey fudges sound well good from your descriptions. - The_Jaster wrote:
Takis Fuego - I've been meaning to do this one for a while now.
What is it? - A chilli and lime flavour fried corn snack.
Are they good? - Aye, they're dangerously good as they have that moreish quality to them.
Mercy's a big fan of these, so I've had them quite a few times now - basically whenever we're in contact with someone coming from Mexico. |

| Noice! I had a pack recently & either they've upped the flavour in general or I got a bag that was hit with Chilli & lime flavour-bomb. The lime especially was more noticeable. |

| But was it lime or lemon? They're named the other way around in Mexico. |
