I like these, so I’m ordering more. They satisfy the snacking urge to cronch on something cronchy, but not as sinful (or as tasty) as an actually cheesy poof. Cheetos they are not, but I feel less guilty snacking on this protein version!
@ladyhawke001 In case you’re still on the fence, the ones i got recently were also “Best By” 2/24 & were fine. You just need to temper expectations in the flavor dept, since they’re on the bland side compared to regular cheese curls, but they don’t really have any pronounced funky flavors like some stuff in this category. I haven’t tried it, but i suppose you could dip them in salsa or something if you wanted/needed more flavor…?
They are very crunchy, more like the crunchy Cheetos rather than the puffed version, so that might affect some people’s opinions, too. I find that they satisfy a craving for crunchy junk food while not being quite as junky as the regular kind, plus providing a little bonus of protein, which doesn’t make you crave more junk or get rebound hunger pangs like the more carby varieties.
I adjusted very quickly to all these variables; YMMV, but it was a definite reorder for me, and i was specifically hoping these would pop up in the 'thon. When i saw that they were $5 cheaper than my first box (the larger, 5-oz bags), i was even happier, considering the greedflation going on in the grocery stores these days! I stocked up.
Wow, to call these cheddar flavored is a ‘gross’ misrepresentation. Although, it does have a better ring than old dried pea flavored. I think there is more flavor in one single Cheeto, than all 12 bags I received. If I was blindfolded and someone asked me what flavor they were supposed to be, I don’t think I would come up with cheddar, or even cheese. I know the best by date isn’t until 2024, but what’s to stop iwon organics from using a bunch of almost expired pea and rice protein, and baking it in to a new ‘fresh’ product? As I write this I keep going back to see if they are really that bad. They are.

I WON’t
At worst, I can leave these around the office for others to snack on.

@wplumleyz Exactly this!
Anyone else unable to order these and get “You don’t have permission to order this”?
@napoleonstokes do you have a membership?
Whoops, I am now! Thanks
These are terrible and the ones I got were right at the expiration date, fyi.
So I did what any good Meh user would do and have them as “gifts” to as many people as I could
@steigst these are best by 2/2024… do you think that will factor in on taste, in your experience?

I think they’re gross either way, so you can’t rely on my preference alone
