Sometimes I buy something in preparations for a review, eat it, think about how many cheeses it should get, put it somewhere safe until the pictures are taken, and then totally forget about it for a month until I open up my pantry and say "Hey, I remember this stuff, I should really get around to putting something up about it on the website". Which I then usually forget about it for another week or so until I finally decide to write about it. This is one of those products.
 Pringles Limited edition Salsa Verde chips. Yup. There they are. I don't even know what verde means, can anyone translate? I found them in Wal Mart while out shopping for all the stuff you need when you move into a new place, beer, limes, pizza, ice cream, you know, the necessities for a good first weekend in a new place. While in Wal Mart I saw these next to the soda and figured I would give them a shot. Not quite NEW! but Limited Edition works just as well. I tossed them in my cart and headed home for an opening party of fun proportions.
On hand we had BRU!, the destroyer of worlds, the Rabbi and his wife, Jason, the token gay and his date, PatBoyX and his woman, and my lady friend. In the freezer we had ice cream sandwiches, Jagermeister, and Jose Cuervo 1800 tequila. In the refrigerator we had some Coors Light and a whole case of Keystone beer. We ordered some pizzas, took a crap load of tequila shots, finished off the Jagermeister, had a few Keystones, ate three pizzas (no clue how that happened, went to bed with a whole pie left, woke up with nothing but empty box), and then drove Jason to sleep out in his car alone because he was afraid of the heterosexualness he was witnessing.
Oh, we also had some chips. Yeah, um, the Pringles. I remember opening the can, eating some of the chips, looking at the chips, sharing the chips, and most likely wiped my hands on something after finishing the chips. Yeah, and that's about it.
So anyway, the party was pretty good. Everyone got really drunk, we enjoyed some Cuban cigars brought back to me from some island in the Caribbean by a co-worker, had some good pizza, ran a homosexual out of the house into exile in his car, and all passed out. The next morning we had breakfast, I had furniture delivered (didn't tip the delivery men, cost me $80 to have the stuff delivered), and cleaned up the mess and put the chips away for a review.
So the chips? Um, I guess I will have to give them a generic 3 cheese rating. Middle of the road, 2 up from 1, 2 down from 5. I don't remember them being too bad but on the other hand I don't remember them being extraordinary.
So that’s that.
I need to have another party sometime.
Anyone want to come?

Hey coworker, is it like a party in your mouth?
--Uh, no.
Hey PatBoyX, is it like a party in your mouth?
--Yeah, one where no one else came.
Or was it
--Yeah, one where no one was invited.
Eh. It isn't important. What's important is that the box says its like a party in your mouth but when you put them in there it isn't like a party at all. In fact, it's more like a sit down after dinner where you relax and watch tv. I guess in some circles that would be considered a wild party but for the rest of us it really doesn't count.
So what are we talking about?
 Cheddar Nacho Fiesta Cheeze-Its. Look at the box! It's like a friggen party in Mexico right there in the box. How excited would you be if you had the chance to have a full on Mexican party in your own house? Just throw in some tequila and it would be like you are actually there, or at least in the Mexico section of Epcot center. But then again if you had a big Mexican party in your house things would end up getting stolen and someone would most likely get shot. So maybe it's a good thing it's not really a party in a box...
Lets move on.
So these things don't taste bad, I'll give them that, but they do make your hands filthy. I started off pretty impartial to them but about 25 miles later (I was driving) I was really enjoying them. They taste just like the Tabasco flavored Cheeze-It's, sans the whole Tabasco thing. Being that the Tabasco flavored Cheeze-It's are the greatest Cheeze-It flavor of all time I would rate these Cheeze-It's as being almost the greatest flavor of all time minus the whole thing that makes the Tabasco ones so good, you know, the Tabasco. But they do taste good. But I figured I should try something else with these things. I present to you the TMW Cookbook part 1:
Fiesta Cheeze-It Chicken.
Ingredients:
1 Chicken Breast.
2 Handfuls of Fiesta Cheddar Nacho flavored Cheeze-It's.
Some mayo.
1) Take the chicken breast and completely cover on both sides with mayo. Only a light coating is needed.
2) Take the Fiesta Cheeze-It's and crush them in your hands using your fist or by simply crushing them.
3) Take the mayo covered chicken breast and either dip into the now crushed up Fiesta Cheeze-it's or take the Cheeze-It's and cover the chicken by hand.
4) Place on either a greased up baking tray or greased aluminum foil lined tray for easy clean up.
5) Heat oven to 400 degrees and cook until chicken is done, should be around 25 minutes. Remove from oven and enjoy.
It adds an interesting flavor to the chicken, a slight cheese taste. The Cheeze-It's also add a nice crunch to the chicken as well.
So there you have it, the first edition of the TMW cook book. Maybe after a couple of these I can get some kind of publishing deal and make millions. And yes, I really did make the chicken with the Cheddar Nacho Cheeze-Its as I described above.
But as for these crackers? I'll give them a 3.5, They are almost the Tabasco ones, but minus the Tobasco. That takes away from the originality of these. They aren't bad but they are also nothing new. They are slightly better than the original but not as good as the best. If anything just give the chicken recipe a shot.
