I found these in the snack aisle the last time I was at a major grocery retailer. I'm a big fan of Sun Chips, and anyone who knows me really well will tell you that I'm a sucker for trying pretty much anything new when it comes to weird flavors and such. Since this checked both boxes, well, I immediately grabbed them off the shelf.
So, what's the verdict? Upon tasting the initial chip, I was taken aback just a bit. I felt like my mouth had been overwhelmed with salt and intense flavor which is a bit unusual since one of the things that I've always loved about Sun Chips in general is that they're not too terribly strong. The new Chili Lime flavor apparently is breaking that tradition, though, and the flavor was, to put it simply, rather intense.
I try not to comment too much until I've really had a chance to digest something completely (pun intended) but I think I've formed my overall opinion on Chili Lime Sun Chips. To be blunt, although they got a bit more tolerable the more I ate them, they basically taste like someone wetted a plain Sun Chip and then dipped it in a packet of taco seasoning meant for ground meat, enough so that it completely covers the chip and hence providing the overwhelming flavor. If that idea appeals to you, you'll love them and you should immediately run out and make the purchase. For me personally, though, I think I'll stick with either the plain or the other flavors. Verdict = nogo!
