Honestly, the first thing I did to this bag of chips was laugh at it. I’ve never heard of Minor League Baseball sponsoring anything, much less an extremely unhealthy snack that barely relates to baseball anyways. They didn’t even just sponsor it, it’s now the “Official Snack.” I now want to go to a Minor League game just to see if any players or coaches are eating these things. Can you even get Fritos at a game? I’ve never seen them.
When I first saw “Ballpark Nacho” as the flavor title, I gotta be honest I took a second to figure out what comes with nachos at the ballpark. At first the only thing that came to mind was that horribly delicious orange goo that they call cheese, but It was hard to believe that they would give just plain cheese Fritos such an elaborate name. Then I remembered the ever-so-important jalapeƱos. I was sure it was going to either not have any of them in the flavor, or just so little it was negligible, something I’m quite happy to be wrong about. They managed to put in enough spice so that you feel the heat in your mouth afterwards, but not so much it overwhelms the corn chip or cheese flavor. Speaking of which, they probably couldn’t have gotten closer to the flavor of that processed orange stuff if they tried. It’s almost identical, but you know, with your mouth. Tastedentical, let’s call it.
One of the best plus sides to this is you’ll never have to deal with magma temperature cheese burning the roof of your mouth, and the 99 cent bag of these will get you much more snackage than that clear plastic tray will ever hold. They also have the other advantage of being much more fresh than those round chips that somehow always manage to be at least partially stale. On top of it all, I would easily call them a much better “nacho” flavored chip than Frito-Lay’s usual staple of the Nacho Cheese Doritos. Between the combination of the extra corn flavor in the chips and the spice increase, I know my opinion of that other classic snack has slightly lessened. They only have one problem and it’s the unfortunate Limited Edition tag they’re carrying, but at least they don’t carry that awful ballpark pricing.





Want.
ran across these the other day and picked them up. So good. Wish I had bought more than one bag.
These rock. Need to be a permanent flavor.
