"Natural" Cheetos
Jun. 13th, 2003 11:02 pmBought some of these today on a whim (hey, it's not often you can buy an oxymoron at the grocery store). They claim to contain no preservatives, no artificial flavors, and no artificial colors (looking at the ingredients, I'm still not entirely sure what Disodium Phosphate does, but apparently it doesn't fall into any of those three categories).
The big surprise? They're not half bad. They wouldn't solve one of those weird sudden cravings for the real thing, but they're fairly tasty in their own right, if that's what you're in the mood for.
They reminded me, somewhat, of Pirate's Booty... only tastier.
Would I buy them again? Hmmm... maybe, but probably not. Aside from weird sudden cravings, I'm a popcorn eater... if I want a snack, I'll toss a bag in the microwave or even occasionally drag out the air popper (this is the best way to start a batch of garlic popcorn -- yum!!), so the chances that I'll buy Natural Cheetos again are pretty slim. But all in all, not as weird or as bad as I thought they'd be.
