Did you know it&#8217;s supposed to be spelled &#8220;SunChips&#8221; and not &#8220;Sun Chips?&#8221; Did you even know they&#8217;re still around?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps to celebrate its birthday, the Frito-Lay brand has rolled out Chile Lime SunChips. Because let&#8217;s face it, a birthday cake flavor would be a horrible idea.<\/p>\n<p>According to the packaging, the 100% whole grain snack feature a combination of red chili pepper and lime flavors. A dive into the ingredients list shows the chips are seasoned with chili powder, buttermilk, garlic powder, spices (including chili pepper), onion powder, natural flavors, paprika, vinegar, and lime juice.<\/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\/2021\/04\/chilelimesunchips2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chile Lime SunChips Closeup\" title=\"chilelimesunchips2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While they have all those ingredients, they taste like they&#8217;re seasoned with just chili powder and lime but leaning more towards the former. I&#8217;m not complaining that the chips aren&#8217;t as complex as the ingredients list makes them seem because they are enjoyable. Although, I have to admit there&#8217;s a bit of a celery-like aftertaste at times.<\/p>\n<p>All the flames on the bag might be a subtle hint that these are spicy. They are, and it takes a few chips before the heat is really noticeable, but think of these being at 1\/4 or 1\/3 of how spicy Flamin&#8217; Hot products are.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, why hasn&#8217;t Frito-Lay offered Flamin&#8217; Hot SunChips in their own bag? It&#8217;s available as part of a spicy Frito-Lay Munchies Snack Mix that also comes with Doritos, Cheetos, and Rold Gold pretzels, but not in a standalone offering.<\/p>\n<p>If you didn&#8217;t know SunChips are still around, this Chili Lime flavor would be a tasty way to reintroduce yourself to them. If you do pick it up, or whatever variety you choose, remember to wish it a Happy Birthday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received a free product sample.
