Hmm. Maybe it was the purple packaging that reminded me of Fuego Takis. <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of packaging, is it just me or is on-can imagery always fun? On the Top Ramen flavor, it\u2019s a particularly sprightly sprig of parsley. For this fuego flavor, it features an Evel Knievel crisp jumping through a ring of chili fire. Let the LOLs ensue. Packaging aside, I had high hopes it would bring some real heat. <\/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\/2018\/02\/Pringles-Extra-Hot-Chili-Lime-2.jpg?resize=501%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pringles Extra Hot Chili  Lime 2\" title=\"Pringles Extra Hot Chili &#038; Lime 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"501\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I noticed that the crisps looked much like the Evel Knievel crisp on the outside, which was somewhat sparsely sprinkled with red chili seasoning mainly clustered closer at the edges. I appreciate when the actual product reflects the image on its packaging. But they didn&#8217;t smell different from the usual Pringles.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing I tasted was the tanginess from the artificial lime flavor, then the chili powder heat came. It was like rapid fire ray guns of flavor: lime, chili, lime, chili (Star Wars sound effects not included). I\u2019ve never noticed this before with other flavors, but the curved crisp shape contributed to getting the flavor effectively and efficiently. I eat Pringles by shoving it whole into my mouth, so the surface of my tongue is completely covered by the crisp. So, my entire tongue felt like it was in a pleasant state of burn. <\/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\/2018\/02\/Pringles-Extra-Hot-Chili-Lime-3.jpg?resize=599%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pringles Extra Hot Chili  Lime 3\" title=\"Pringles Extra Hot Chili &#038; Lime 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also sampled Takis to gauge heat level. They&#8217;re spicier and, of course, the corn flavor was very forward. Also, the heavily-seasoned rolled shape delivered a very pungent punch. To be fair, Takis claims to be extreme while Pringles just wants to be extra hot. <\/p>\n<p>I think this Pringles delivers on the promise of extra hot and is well-executed. While Takis may be too extreme for some, these Pringles will keep chiliheads content but might be a stepping stone for those still building their capsaicin tolerance. <\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t dethrone my favorite Pringles flavor, cheeseburger, BUT I\u2019d be more than open to stacking a cheeseburger crisp with this one to make a spicy cheeseburger. Woo, the possibilities are endless!
