It Came From The Snack Aisle: Screamin' Sriracha Doritos

Screaming Sriracha Doritos - Target

Spicy switch-up with some spooky Sriracha Doritos! 

Sriracha has returned from the retired-flavor-graveyard, so it's not new-new, but like Dots, I never got around to reviewing it, so why not do it now when it's all dressed up for Halloween? 

Look at this bag! It packs a lot of playfulness into a simple layout. We have a flaming-red Dorito that casts a tall shadow in the shape of a bottle of sriracha. It's giving me looming Nosferatu and Bram Stoker's Dracula-vibes. Putting the final nail in the coffin, there's a classic horror-drip font, in bright green, with hints of texture. All of these factors come together to create a surprisingly sophisticated Halloween package. So unassuming, yet, so perfect. 

Snackbusters: 4 Aldi Chip Reviews in one post!

If there's something weird
And it don't look good
Who you gonna call
Snackbusters!

This really has absolutely nothing to do with the upcoming Ghostbusters movie. I was going through my food stash and decided to review a bunch of Aldi snacks in one fell swoop and with all the hype, and rage, surrounding the new movie, the original Ghostbusters theme got stuck in my head. So, Snackbusters was born! I doubt this will be a recurring thing on the blog, but I gotta get some of this food stuff outta here and this is the best way to go about it. We've got a little bit of everybody here, Specially Selected, G-Free, and Clancy's. Let's get started!

Sriracha Lime Popcorn - Aldi

Clancy's Sriracha Lime Popcorn - Aldi

My updates have been really sporadic lately, and I don't like it. The main reason behind the lack of posts is that I'm having an incredibly hard time writing anything these days. I just can't seem to focus! Taking and editing food photos is super easy, I can do it with my eyes closed (not really), but when it comes to sitting down and sharing my thoughts in (semi-coherent) sentences...it's like pulling teeth!

I have tons of photos edited and ready to go, and plenty of new food products lined up in my queue, but when it comes to sitting down and actually writing everything out....I just can't seem to get it done! In an effort to try and force my way through this writing dilemma, I decided to breifly review something I've been munching on all week, this Sriracha Lime popcorn from Aldi.

Sriracha Kettle Chips - Aldi

Sriracha Kettle Chips - Aldi

Lay's Do Us a Flavor is back again with four new finalists, and I gotta say, I'm underwhelmed. Even though they aren't ideal, I plan on reviewing them tomorrow after I get out of work, but I thought this would be a great time to check out this Aldi version of my favorite chip from the first ever round finalists.

Sweet Sriracha Uncured Bacon Jerky- Trader Joe’s - Marlton, NJ

Sweet Sriracha Uncured Bacon Jerky- Trader Joe’s - Marlton, NJ

There are always trends in food. These day's it's chia seed, quinoa, sriracha and Greek yogurt, what's next? Who knows! It really could be anything. (Maybe artichokes will make a comeback?) Anyway, right now practically every single food company out there is taking advantage of the current sriracha craze. Even though I myself am a fan of the famous Rooster sauce, I'm not obsessed enough to want it as a candy, or a flavored vodka, but jerky? Sounds good to me!

Snacks 101 Baked Sweet & Spicy Sriracha Popcorn - Marshall's

Snacks 101 Baked Sweet & Spicy Sriracha Popcorn - Marshall's

Today's post is another one of my wacky Marshall's finds. I'm normally not a popcorn person, but the whole baked concept seemed really interesting, plus I love sweet and spicy snacks. (I've been reviewing a lot of candies and yogurts lately, so I'm really looking forward to this because it's so different.) Let's get started!

Ultimate Sriracha Chicken Slider- White Castle: Tomsriver, NJ

Ultimate Sriracha Chicken Slider- White Castle: Tomsriver, NJ

I hope all of the American's out there (myself included) have a lovely holiday weekend!

I love White Castle, but to be honest I really don't have any reason why I love it as much as I do. The food is far from healthy, the quality of the ingredients is pretty typical for fast food, and the nearest location for me is over an hour away, but there's just something about this little burger chain that makes me inexplicably happy.

After breaking my 14 year streak of not eating Taco Bell, which my boyfriend loves, I figured it was only fair for him to do the same and break his over a decade streak of not eating White Castle. (Well non-frozen White Castle anyway.) Plus, there are new little sriracha chicken sliders available right now! I had to give those a try before they disappeared, so off to White Castle we went.

Everything is more delicious when it's tiny, right?

I'm addicted.

Guess where we were yesterday?

Post on the new Ultimate Sriracha Chicken Sliders coming very soon!

My beloved Sriracha Chips are back!

That's right, Lay's are re-releasing the previous finalists from last year's Do Us a Flavor contest for Valentine's Day.

I know it's a few days late, but I just found out and I am way more excited than I should be. I loved the sriracha chips, you can read my review here, and I never got the chance to review the Chicken and Waffles version. I don't know if I'll be reviewing them during this re-release, I think that ship has sailed, but I will be buying more of the sriracha ones.

Is this a marketing ploy? Sure! Will that stop me from stocking up on the sriracha chips like a crazy person? No way.

Are any of you excited to see these flavors return?

Sriracha Lay’s - Target : Cherry Hill, NJ

Sriracha Lay’s - Target : Cherry Hill, NJ

I’m sure most of you have seen (or heard) about Lay’s “Do Us A Flavor” competition. If not, here is the gist of it. Lay’s created a build your own flavor app on Facebook. Users made their own flavors which were compared and voted upon. (I actually participated and submitted General Tso’s Chicken as a flavor.) From all the entries submitted, the final three flavors were actually put into production to be tasted and voted on by America.

The three final flavors are:

• Sriracha
• Chicken and Waffles
• Cheesy Garlic Bread
