On What Planet is this Pizza?

Another day, another pizza flavored snack. This time I have Lesser Evil Space Balls - Outer Planet Pizza flavor. What a mouthful. This particular bag is Toy Story branded, but from what I can tell this is a normal year-round flavor. 

With this being a healthier snack option, I am going in with a hefty dose of skepticism and very low expectations.

Opened, my first impression is that they seem stale, but this is a brand new bag, freshly opened. This is a problem for a lot of the "ball" themed snacks out there, whether they're in a big plastic tub, or a sealed plastic bag, I've noticed that they all have have that stale packing peanut texture. Probably why I prefer crunchy Cheetos, they bypass that puffed stale texture entirely. 

Popping a few into my mouth, my second thought was, is this flavored at all? I can see with my own eyes that they are orange and have some kind of seasoning on them, but they taste like plain puffed corn. Imagine a cheese-less cheese curl. That's exactly what these taste like. 

I have to close my eyes and focus to detect anything of note. When I do that, I can taste a hint of cheese and tomato, but it's so weak that it's almost impressive. There are a few extra dusty pieces with a bolder flavor, and those are serviceable. They have a brighter tomato flavor and stronger tang, and when I find those, I actually do enjoy them, but they are quite rare. There is less than a handful of the bolder balls (ha!) in the bag. The majority are duds. 

What a shame. If they doubled down on the seasoning, these would actually be pretty decent, but they would also be less healthy. These get a 1.5/5 from me, and unless I am dieting, I wouldn't buy these again.
