We couldn’t put our finger on it but there was something missing and added that made it taste weird. These looked pretty much the same, even had the specks of red in the flavor powder that Doritos had but the taste was off. He couldn’t tell if it was the chip or that the ranch flavor overpowered the flavor of the chip. Ethan they make his “taste buds tingle.” The only thing Ethan said was kind of a minus was that the corn chip itself didn’t taste as good as Nacho Cheese Doritos. It’s interesting that there really isn’t a creaminess quality but they still somehow capture the essence of “ranch” so well. They don’t look to exciting but the taste was totally what I remembered it being like from past experiences.įlavorful with a slight tang that made it so “ranchy”. I can’t stand Fritos or things like that but there was something about Nacho Cheese and then Cool Ranch that made corn chips so enjoyable.Īlthough honestly, the last time I had a Dorito of any kind was in September of ’08 so I’m still not a die-hard fan but I guess I’m due for some corn chip evaluation. Sometime when I was in Middle School, I think (I forget), and I remember thinking Nacho Cheese is so perfectly awesome, why create another flavor? But I have to say they won me over even though I’m not a big corn chip person. I both remember and forget when Cool Ranch Doritos came out.

I like to support the little guy and they may not have been given a fair shake this round, but Ethan and I both preferred the Cheetos version because of the strong flavor and delightful crunch and texture. The crunch was also lacking – but, I will give them a break since these were at the dollar store and not bought anywhere near the Chicagoland area. Well, they had decent flavor but didn’t have that tanginess, which gives Cheetos a little something extra. These had a little less cheese flavor to them. It seems a little weird but I liked tasting the oil in each bite and although the oil had a presence, it didn’t make the crunch heacy and they’re not oily to the touch.

This bag came in a variety pack, withcorn chips and cheese puffs but since “Kurls” is spelled with a K I decided to evaluate them.Ĭheetos have a nice tanginess to the cheese flavoring. I don’t know how but they managed to make it to the Dollar Tree in Ashland, MA. I checked out their website, and they have quite an extensive product list. They’re from Chicago and I lived there for a year but never noticed them, although that was in my pre-snack evaluating days.
