Calbee Grill-A-Corn Hot & Spicy
Buy Calbee snacks on Amazon #ad
Taste test: These crunchy corn curls had an orange color that was remotely similar to many cheese-flavored ones, with a light orange color generally, plus a darker shade in spots, but they didn't promise cheese at all, just some hot and spicy flavoring.
I crunched in to find a nice crisp crunch and a flavoring that was savory and tangy, quite tasty, though not really hot in the initial phase of eating. Some mid-level heat did arrive in the aftertaste, lingering briefly. Pretty good.
