Disgusting snack food of the day
Apr. 22nd, 2005 01:27 pmDo not, I repeat, do not eat Twisties (Melted Butter) Corn Puffs. They are the most disgusting thing ever.
They have the consistency of styrofoam - and much of the taste - when you bite into them. They then completely disintegrate with a chalky grit, to leave a lovely textureless sludge around your teeth. In fact, other than the initial styrofoam crunch, they define texturelessness.
The "nature identical" flavour is best left undescribed, other than to say it succeeds in being both tasteless and nauseating. Do not, if you value your stomach, sniff the packet. One hesitates to imagine how the alternate flavour - "Cheexy Cheese" - tastes. But I think I'll resist the temptation of trying it.
Well, it serves as an object lesson: if I'm craving a snack and there are no salt-n-vinegar chips, do not assume that because something looks like popcorn, that it is necessarily going to behave like popcorn, in either taste, texture or deliciousness.
