They certainly do appear to be angry with all the red seasoning that looks as if they\u2019re waiting to pop a capsaicin in yo\u2019 mouth\u2019s nerves. The chips smell like a smoldering spicy fire that could ignite at any moment.<\/p>\n<p>And the first few chips do bring the heat, but before I reach the serving size, my mouth gets numb to the spices. So I don\u2019t feel compelled to douse my oral cavity with a cold beverage or cry \u201cmommy\u201d as I wish the tiny devils on my tongue would stop poking it with their pitchforks. But if you\u2019re even the slightest spice adverse, stay far away from these chips. Don\u2019t even pretend like you\u2019re going to lick them for your Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>As for their flavor, even though my mouth gets used to the burn enough that I could stuff my face with more of them, getting past the spiciness didn\u2019t encourage me to shovel these into my mouth. Instead, now that I wasn\u2019t thinking of the heat, my mind was clear enough to realize that I wouldn\u2019t buy another bag of these chips. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re a little sweet, slightly garlicky, a tad oniony, and really peppery. On paper, that looks like a tasty chip, and it has all the appropriate ingredients you\u2019d find in sriracha sauce, but the combination doesn\u2019t appeal to my taste buds. Also, they do remind me of Doritos Blaze, which I did not care for, but I do think these are a little more tolerable.<\/p>\n<p>Look, I like sriracha. It\u2019s my go-to addition to pho. I\u2019ve put it on burgers. I\u2019ve dipped fries into it. But the flavor on these chips doesn\u2019t do it for me. Maybe if the seasoning on Doritos Screamin\u2019 Sriracha was a tad sweeter and the garlic was more pronounced, I would\u2019ve enjoyed them more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> Too much on eBay<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 9 3\/4 oz. bag<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> ???<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (about 12 chips) 140 calories, 7 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 190 milligrams of sodium, 17 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, less than 1 gram of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sriracha-flavored Doritos is something that should\u2019ve come out years ago when the hot sauce was all the culinary rage back in 2013 to 2016.
