The exterior shells of the tots are nice and crispy (thank goodness, because there are few things in this world more lamentable than soggy tots), but the interior filling leaves a lot to be desired.<\/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\/2019\/03\/Burger-King-Bacon-Cheesy-Tots-Innards.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Burger King Bacon Cheesy Tots Innards\" title=\"Burger King Bacon Cheesy Tots Innards.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, the tots do taste adequately cheesy \u2014 in case you were wondering, it appears to be cheddar-based \u2014 but the bacon ratio is sorely disappointing. In fact, on some tots you may only get a speck or a granule of bacon bits; and such inconsistency from tot to tot, I assure you, is truly maddening.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>The general texture and mouthfeel of the products are quite satisfying, and the tots are certainly filling on an empty stomach. Alas, its taste isn\u2019t all that distinct, and as the case with MANY Burger King items, the product is astoundingly salty. Just eight pieces will net you close to half a day\u2019s worth of suggested sodium intake. Naturally, you\u2019ll need a beverage nearby for this one \u2014 and your favorite in-house BK dipping sauce wouldn\u2019t hurt, either.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\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\/2019\/03\/Burger-King-Bacon-Cheesy-Tots-Innards-Closeup.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Burger King Bacon Cheesy Tots Innards Closeup\" title=\"Burger King Bacon Cheesy Tots Innards Closeup.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The lack of bacon is what really hurts this one. Granted, I wasn\u2019t expecting the tots to be edible bacon pinatas or anything, but it certainly feels like modern science has progressed enough that far more chunks of pork can be engineered into the potato balls.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it would\u2019ve been nice to see BK partner this one with some sort of sauce. A nice, mesquite BBQ blend, for example, would\u2019ve given this product some added shelf-life. Still, considering the low price point and the high volume of product, there\u2019s certainly an element of value to the tots; although unless you are REALLY strapped for cash, I wouldn\u2019t exactly recommend going out of one\u2019s way to experience this L-T-O snacker.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.29<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 8 tots<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 330 calories; 14 grams of fat, 0 grams of total fat, 15 milligrams <br \/>of cholesterol, 1,020 milligrams of sodium, 41 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 2 grams of sugar and 10 grams of protein<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the Burger King Bacon Cheesy Tots?
