New Zesty Salsa Pringles Tortilla Chips

Pringles introduces new Zesty Salsa as the latest flavor in the Pringles Tortillas line. Zesty Salsa is described as a "tangy, mouth-watering, tomato" flavor.

The idea is that they're supposed to be so packed with flavor that dipping is not needed (although the brand encourages "air dipping" if you're so inclined).

Starbucks Offers New Freshly-Roasted Coffee Subscription

Taco Bell Testing Taco Sauce Flavored Chips

Taco Bell is testing taco sauce-flavored tortilla chips in at least one location here in Southern California. Mirroring the company's taco sauces, the chips are available in Mild, Hot, and Fire versions.

The chips were spotted at a Taco Bell in Santa Ana, CA by a fellow Brand Eater who described them as tasting "like Doritos covered in Taco Bell sauce."

The chips came in 2-oz bags for $1.49 each and are good for 280 calories. You can see the bag is meant to resemble the design of Taco Bell's sauce packets.

Mountain Dew's Kickstart Hydrating Boost is a caffeinated soda with coconut water and comes in two flavors: Strawberry Kiwi and Pineapple Orange Mango.

I tried both flavors at $1 per 12-oz can.

Also included is a bottle of spring water, a single-serving packet of Kool-Aid Tropical Punch, Cheez-It crackers, and Oreo cookies.
