Poppin’ Jalapeno Doritos Review

Today i Review the Poppin' Jalapeno Doritos, This product was introduced in 2016. I bought this item for 4.29 at Wal-Mart in Grandville, Michigan.

I recognize I’m in the minority here, but I’m not a Cool Ranch Dorito Guy. I’ll get down with them if I have to, but I’ll never choose them over Nacho Cheese. But given the occasion, I’m tempted to shake things up this year with these new Poppin’ Jalapeño Doritos.

Now, I can’t be sure exactly what Poppin’ Jalapeño Doritos are trying to mimic. My HOPE is that they are flavored like Jalapeño Poppers, one of my all-time favorite appetizers. This would slot in nicely into my Super Bowl binge. However, they may simply be having fun with the name and this might just be jalapeño seasoning applied to Nacho Cheese Doritos. The bag only displays two normal-looking Doritos that have been set ablaze; no imagery of jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, probably some other cheeses, and possibly some bacon all deep fried in a crispy blanket of bread crumbs and fat. My fear is that Poppin Jalapeño Doritos will merely be spicy Doritos – something we have available all the time. And when it comes to spicy Doritos, I doubt anything will ever top Doritos Roulette, which was a really fun game to play with your mother who thinks regular Doritos are too spicy.

The ingredients for Poppin’ Jalapeno Doritos include jalapeños, romano cheese, cheddar cheese, and a bunch of the familiar spices like garlic and onion powder. Outside of the jalapeño, these are all the same ingredients in Nacho Cheese Doritos just in different ratios based on their placement on the ingredient list. Poppin’ Jalapeño Doritos don’t smell all that spicy, so I gave em the good ole’ tongue test and licked one like the freakshow that I am. I swear – this yielded a genuine roasted jalapeño flavor, along with some garlic powder and familiar nacho cheese seasoning. The spice level is weak by my standards – a slight tickle in the throat but nothing to pop your shit over.

When you eat them like a normal human being, Poppin Jalapeño Doritos are more cheesy than anything else – all too familiar. The roasted jalapeño flavor is there but quickly fades to generic spice behind the recognizable zesty Nacho Cheese blend of regular Doritos. The heat, modest as it is, surfaces and lingers as you round out each bite. Kind of tasty, but nothing new by any stretch.

Poppin’ Jalapeno Doritos are, sadly, not Jalapeño Popper Doritos. They’re Nacho Cheese Doritos with a little added heat.

Overall Rating: 8 out of 10

Today I cleaned up my bathroom and bedroom, washed out the beer cans and brung my work clothes up to the laundry room. I went to the store to get klondike bars, two big pies and cheese for burgers for dinner. We had hamburgers on the grill for dinner along with corn on the cob. My stepmom made the corn on the cob while my dad cooked the burgers on the grill. It was a good supper.

After dinner I sat on the deck in the backyard and drank a couple of beers. I took the grass carts to the curb. I really was not supposed to do that until tomorrow because that's when we take the trash to the curb. I had a slice of peach pie along with a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie for dessert that i bought at family fare.

Doritos Heat Wave Chipotle Cream Chips Review

The tagline for these new Doritos Heat Wave Chips: First Chipotle Cream, Then HEAT. So rather than two different chips mixed into the same bag, the chips THEMSELVES change flavor? Hmmmmm….intrigued.

 
 


DO THESE TASTE GOOD? Yes.
WHY OR WHY NOT? These are an interesting chip. It’s not like one side of the chip is coated in creamy powder while the other is covered in spice. Looking at the chip, the powders are either mixed together or layered. Also, the ingredient list doesn’t mention chipotle – only “spice” and paprika. The creaminess comes from the buttermilk?
Biting into a chip, the first flavor I got was a slight initial chipotle tang and then…Cool Ranch. Well, Cool Ranch with a bit of BBQ-accent to it. The flavor was a bit more onion-y and garlicky than a normal Cool Ranch. The savoriness was good – and then came the heat. These were definitely spicy. I see where they’ve been hiding all of the spices from the past Doritos Roulette – they’re here. Maybe not as directly spicy as the Roulette, since the creaminess helps cool things, but there is no way to say these are NOT spicy. These have a burn. Faint tongues, you’ll wanna pass on these.
The Chipotle flavor? I got more of that in the aftertaste – as I breathed in and out after eating some chips, I DEFINITELY got that chipotle flavor all up in my mouth and nose (accented by a lingering onion flavor).
All in all, I liked these – a creamy, savory chip with some burn. And it did sort of taste like chipotle cream sauces I’d eaten in the past. I think it’s a flavor which requires some head deconstruction, which I’m not a huge fan of. But yes – liked these.
ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW? ‘Bout time with the new Doritos flavors, guys.
PURCHASED AT: Walmart, Grandville,MI.
WHERE FOUND IN STORE? Chip aisle.
COST? $2.98 on sale.

Herr's Creamy Dill Pickle Potato Chips Review

Reviewing Herr's Creamy Dill Pickle Potato Chips and I already put that on YouTube. #makeherrsyours


These wide-rippled chips had a bright yellow color, with a sparse amount of some sort of green seasoning, but it looked more like parsley flakes than dill to me, and a check of the ingredients confirmed that these did contain parsley and not dill. The chips were very tasty, with a nice pickle flavoring with a bit of creaminess. The pickle seasoning wasn't overwhelming but mixed well with the crisp potato chips and made for a nice tasty snack.


No Chips manufacturer would write 'Mild Pickle' on the front of their packet, but this is perhaps what this flavor leaned towards. There are clues; the inclusion of Cream, for example. We found them really quite rewarding - a somewhat salty sweetish pickle that mixed nicely with a creamy overlay.
With a touch of Zip and splash of Zing, Herr’s new Creamy Dill Pickle potato chips create a DILLiciously unique sensory sensation, which can only be described as a pure snacking Delight.

McDonald's Maple Bacon Dijon Burger Review

McDonald's Maple Bacon Dijon Burger features a quarter-pound 100% beef patty, topped with white cheddar cheese, grilled caramelized onions, Applewood smoked bacon with maple seasoning, premium leaf lettuce, and creamy Dijon sauce on an artisan roll. 

They kept it fairly simple with this burger andit worked out really well. I hadn't had a Quarter Pounder patty since McDonald's made it slightly bigger and made some tweaks as to how they grilled them but it's definitely worked out for the better here. The patty had a nice crust, a good coarsely ground texture, and was almost juicy.

The maple bacon was lightly touched with a syrup-y sweetness. It sported some crispy edges here and there to go with an enjoyable smoky flavor. The tangy Dijon sauce goes well with the sweet and smoky notes. 

The onions added an extra sweetness and a slight watery crispness, while the lettuce was pretty fresh. The cheese was your basic super mild and creamy stuff but was nicely melted.


The artisan roll is my favorite of the two bun choices. It hit a good balance between soft and resilient paired with a slightly rustic feel. In comparison, the sesame seed is a little too standard for the premium pricing and it's little too dense and has lacked a freshness the times I've tried it.

Overall, McDonald's Maple Bacon Dijon Burger made for a quality and novel bacon cheeseburger with just the right balance between its savory and sweet components.

Doritos Heat Wave Barbecue Tortilla Chips Review

First BBQ. Then heat. Then corn chip aftertaste. Then mindlessly eat half the bag in one sitting. (Spotted by Breanna B at Walmart.)

If you’re out shopping and see an interesting new product on the shelf, snap a picture of it, and send us an email (theimpulsivebuy@gmail.com) with where you found it and “Spotted” in the subject line. Or reply to us (@theimpulsivebuy) on Twitter with the photo, where you spotted it, and the hashtag #spotted. If you’ve tried the product, share your thoughts about it in the comments.

Also, if you want to send in photos and are wondering if we’ve already covered something, don’t worry about it. Let us worry about it.

These Doritos are Honey BBQ flavored, with all the notes of sweetness and smokiness that you’d expect from a BBQ chip.
Then the heat comes, and I’ll repeat what I said of the previous flavor, “These were definitely spicy. I see where they’ve been hiding all of the spices from the past Doritos Roulette…” The BBQ doesn’t hide the spiciness as well as the Chipotle Cream version, so these chips definitely have a surprisingly strong spice kick. These have a burn.
LOVED these. Tastes just like Fritos Flavor Twists, Plus it ends with spice??? WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER.
Will buy these again. Mark it

Blazin’ Buffalo & Ranch Doritos Review



Blazin’ Buffalo & Ranch Doritos?? According to my friend Marvo, these existed in 2006 and then 2012, and there’s a Facebook Group dedicated to the return of these chips that has existed since 2013… but I only have a vague memory of them. The bag looks familiar.

Man – I feel like it’s been a while since they’ve trotted out a new Doritos flavor / brought a flavor back. They’ve added more Dinamitas flavors, rolled out Doritos Mix, tried to expand the JACKED line, but a new or refreshed flavor for the regular chip line? I feel like I hasn’t seen a new flavor since Doritos Roulette – which came out in May of 2015, over 1.5 years ago. TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH, DORITOS.

The last time Doritos had a buffalo flavor, it was one in the JACKED line of goods – and they were not…great. I’m a buffalo flavor fan; being from Upstate NY, I’m a purist. I typically don’t dip my wings in ANYTHING, preferring to get that Frank’s Red Hot flavor directly into my veins. “Blazin’ Buffalo & Ranch Doritos” indicates that, like the JACKED version, there’s gonna be a lot of creaminess involved. Hm.

I opened the bag of Blazin’ Buffalo & Ranch Doritos and inhaled – my nostrils didn’t sting like when I inhale Frank’s, but there was a tanginess I smelled. I smelled plenty of herb/spices too – these smelled like Cool Ranch Doritos, sort of, with something else involved.

When I first munch a bunch of these Blazin’ Buffalo & Ranch Doritos, my immediate impression was SPICY COOL RANCH DORITOS. I wasn’t getting enough Buffalo flavor at all. There was definitely a spicy kick at the end, and the more I ate, the more the overall tanginess of the chip came through – but despite the tang, I was missing that distinct Buffalo vinegar and cayenne pepper flavor.

However, these definitely tasted good. I tried to rationalize it by saying that this is exactly what a Buffalo Wing dipped in ranch tastes like – like the Buffalo flavor had been muted by the creaminess of the ranch. So, in that sense, these weren’t too “off” from the flavor profile – and, again, they were tasty tasty overall.

After a few hours, I made a second go of these Blazin’ Buffalo & Ranch Doritos – this time around, I definitely sensed a bit more Buffalo flavor. I was able to imagine a Buffalo sauce mixed with a Ranch dressing, resulting in the flavor I tasted. More and more, I could taste the flavor profile Doritos was seeking. I think for me, personally, I am just so used to eating Buffalo Wings alone with no additional creaminess that these threw me off a little.

Stepping back, I thought these were still very tasty. Easy to eat, and just the right amount of heat. I’m glad these are back.
