\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

What are Tostitos Sweet Lime and Sea Salt Tortilla Chips?<\/h3>\n

After years of simply giving us a \u201chint,\u201d Frito Lay has decided to kick the lime flavor up a notch.<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n

Tostitos’ Hint of Lime are my favorite mass-produced tortilla chip. I eat them plain. I eat them with dips. I love em. They\u2019re borderline perfection to me.<\/p>\n

Guess what? Sweet Lime and Sea Salt Tostitos might actually be slightly<\/em> better!?<\/p>\n

Have you ever gotten a Hint of Lime chip that accumulated too much flavor dust? There are usually a few per bag, and it\u2019s a nice surprise every time I get one. These are essentially that chip for an entire bag.<\/p>\n

That might sound extreme, but don\u2019t get too scared off by the word \u201csweet.\u201d These aren\u2019t cookies.<\/p>\n

\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a nice balance between the sweet and salty, but they\u2019re definitely fruitier than Hint. I honestly think they could have gotten away with just calling these \u201cLime and Sea Salt,\u201d but it\u2019s probably better that they gave everyone a heads-up.<\/p>\n

If Hint of Lime taste like 3\/4 salt and 1\/4 lime, these are just that recipe flipped. You might lose a bit of that overall \u201csalt\u201d flavor, if that makes sense, but they\u2019re still equally great.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

One of the key reasons these might have a leg up is the shape. Bite Size rounds are better chips than normal Tostitos. If I\u2019m eating chips, I wanna be able to eat them in one bite. I\u2019m not nibbling or breaking it beforehand. I take it as a challenge, and I feel like there\u2019s always a risk of turning my lips into Heath Ledger Joker\u2019s when I cram a giant triangle Tostito into my mouth.<\/p>\n

I also find Bite Size better for dipping. Despite being smaller, they seem more structurally sound. These chips don\u2019t even need a dip, but I tried them with salsa, and no shock, they work great.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

All told, Sweet Lime and Sea Salt aren\u2019t super<\/em> different from Hint of Lime, so I\u2019m curious what Frito Lay\u2019s long-term plans are. They seem a bit redundant, but Frito has never been afraid of redundancies. How much different is a Classic Lay\u2019s chip and Lightly Salted?<\/p>\n

I hope these are a mainstay, and I look forward to switching between them and Hint of Lime all summer.<\/p>\n
