It\u2019s not. <\/p>\n<p>Cheeseburger.<\/p>\n<p>But why do we have to choose a champion? Can\u2019t we give everyone participation trophies? Because while I enjoyed the cheeseburger flavor more than the other two, they are also worthy of recognition. Actually, this whole You Choose The Champion line deserves some kind of award because it\u2019s nice to see Cheez-It offer flavors that are more complex than different types of cheeses, like cheddar, white cheddar, sharp cheddar, Italian four cheese, baby Swiss, Colby, mozzarella, provolone, and pepper jack. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheeseburger<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Cheez-It-Cheeseburger.jpg?resize=599%2C426\" alt=\"Cheez It Cheeseburger\" title=\"Cheez-It Cheeseburger.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s my favorite of the three because it did a great job with replicating the flavor of a McDonald&#8217;s cheeseburger. It smells like steak sauce, but it&#8217;s got the pickles\u2019 tanginess, the onions\u2019 bite, mustard, of course, the cheese, and there\u2019s a little bit of beef patty flavor. If you\u2019ve had cheeseburger-flavored snacks before, besides those horrible Cheeseburger Goldfish, you\u2019ll know what these this like. Although it&#8217;s not an original flavor, it\u2019s the one that tastes most like what it\u2019s trying to emulate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheese Pizza<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Cheez-It-Cheese-Pizza.jpg?resize=599%2C381\" alt=\"Cheez It Cheese Pizza\" title=\"Cheez-It Cheese Pizza.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"381\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To be honest, it&#8217;s a little boring that it\u2019s cheese pizza and not something a little bit more complex, like a pepperoni pizza. After all, there\u2019s beef flavor with the cheeseburger, so why not add extra spices and artificial flavoring to get some pepperoni.<\/p>\n<p>But with that said, I also enjoyed this flavor because, with almost every one I put into my mouth, it was as if I was putting tiny cheese Totino&#8217;s Party Pizza in my mouth. The crackers capture the cheese, sauce, and herbs one would taste and smell on those wonderful cheap pizzas, which I adore. Even the crispy texture of the crackers kind of reminds me of the Party Pizza\u2019s crust.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheddar Nachos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Cheez-It-Cheddar-Nachos.jpg?resize=599%2C402\" alt=\"Cheez It Cheddar Nachos\" title=\"Cheez-It Cheddar Nachos.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"402\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure why the cheese needs to be announced for this flavor. I mean, the word \u201cnachos\u201d alone excites me and including the word \u201ccheddar\u201d makes it a little less mysterious. Like the other two flavors, this one also reminds me of something else and that is Taco Bell\u2019s nacho cheese sauce. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a paprika-level of spiciness that builds up, but it more of a tickle than a slap. But to be honest, it&#8217;s good, but is the least impressive because it&#8217;s not as complex as the other two. This flavor could just be one of the regular Cheez-It flavors, but with a slight kick.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Cheez-It-Cheddar-Nachos-Closeup.jpg?resize=599%2C412\" alt=\"Cheez It  Cheddar Nachos Closeup\" title=\"Cheez-It  Cheddar Nachos Closeup.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"412\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While all three flavors vary from great to good, there\u2019s an issue with them. The application of seasoning is inconsistent. Some are blasted with it, some aren\u2019t seasoned as much, and others have so little that they taste like regular Cheez-It crackers. But I imagine shoving handfuls into your mouth, and not eating it like a bird, which I do, will solve that problem.<\/p>\n<p><b>NOTE: Thanks to Impulsive Buy reader Carla for sending these to me.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; about 25 crackers &#8211; <b>Cheeseburger<\/b> &#8211; 150 calories, 70 calories from fat, 7 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 220 milligrams of sodium, 17 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of fiber, 0 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein. <b>Cheese Pizza<\/b> &#8211; 150 calories, 70 calories from fat, 7 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 200 milligrams of sodium, 19 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of fiber, and 3 grams of protein. <b>Cheddar Nachos<\/b> &#8211; 150 calories, 70 calories from fat, 8 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 230 milligrams of sodium, 18 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of fiber, and 3 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $4.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 12.4 oz. boxes<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Walgreens<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10 (Cheeseburger)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10 (Cheese Pizza)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 6 out of 10 (Cheddar Nachos)<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> All munchable.
