Is it just me? I was disappointed in their taste. They just don’t hit like they use to or am I just losing my mind

Blame the average person thinking jalapenos are too spicy. A lot of restaurants tone down their food for that reason as well. These products are designed to cater to as many people as possible and unfortunately those of us that actually want spicy food to be spicy are a minority.
Depends on where your average person is. Your average person from Dublin probably has a different heat tolerance than your average person from Tijuana.
You say that, but spicy chips in the convenience store I worked at sold far faster than any other option. That will obviously vary by location, but the customers exist in large numbers. Any exec choosing to chase more customers with that tactic will just drive their existing customers away.
could be skimpflation. company’s have been changing ingredients slowly to lower the cost of ingredients to save on cost. doing it very slowly over years they end up saving money and no one really notices the changes.
if you can find an old ingredient/nutritional list from a few years ago you can compare ingredient order to see if it’s changed
Could be long covid?
Switch to Takis; never look back.
Takis are nasty
Way too much citric acid
Trader Joe’s (if you have those stores wherever you are) has an off brand of Takis with normal levels of citric acid and they are pretty tasty
So are Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.
So are normal Cheetos, for that matter.
Takis are for people who hate teeth.
I love Takis but they absolutely destroy my insides.
I love Takis. One of my guilty pleasure trash snacks is a bag of Takis and a couple hazys.
The jalapeno ones have way better flavor.
I don’t eat a whole lot of junk food, but Andy Capp’s Hot Fries are far and away superior to Hot Cheetos. One of few true total junk foods that I do occasionally eat.
i agree, i think they taste much better than hot cheetos but theyre also pretty greasy and i cant eat too many without feeling sick
I tend not to eat large amounts in one go, but I could see that being the case. Still, the flavor is so much better.
Don’t eat those shitass chips. Get some real snacks
Def need some flaming flamers
… Organtic
I find flaming hot funions to be spicier, and fuego takis to be spicier than the funions
Those have my fav, alone with the flaming hot lays stax
i found and posted an article in a community I mod a few weeks ago about this exact issue.
That article is dishonest in that it does not mention the unsustainable nature of ever increasing profit. They can blame inflation all they want but with record corporate profits I am not taking any blame for this.
I gotta imagine that Business Insider probably isn’t going to publish a entirely anti-capitalistic screed.
Just wait for them to cool after they finish cooking, duh.
The only snack my dog won’t beg for.
hot tamales and atomic fireballs are the same way, it used to be really hot, now it’s similar to just sweet. same with sour skittles, those used to make you bleed but not anymore, it’s more sweet then sour
Not just you!
If it says ‘flaming hot’, then I want flaming hot not lukewarm or worse cold.
I suspect the spices that made them so delish are too expensive and they can squeeze another penny of margin out of it, if they make them so bland they taste like cardboard.
