Every country prides itself on its agricultural produce, so what better way to enjoy crisps than with American cheese and Indian tomatoes? The other cheese flavours are mostly cheddar-based and the other unique tomato-based flavour is ketchup only available in Canada.
Cheetos
Imitation: 10/10. It uses the real Cheeto powder, of course it tastes exactly the same.
Desirability: 7/10. I’m not a big fan of Cheetos, but it’s almost as good.
Crunch: 4/10. Average for a flat crisp, the flavour works better on a cylinder.
Texture: 8/10. It’s got orange powder all over my white t-shirt, but there’s no powder at the bottom of the bag.
Appearance: 7/10. Right colour, but points were docked for uneven powder application.
Total: 36/50. Nice party trick, but Cheetos already exist.
Tomato Tango
Imitation: 3/10. Less refreshing tomato and more ketchup without vinegar.
Desirability: 5/10. I can’t remember the last time I wanted a vegetable as a snack.
Crunch: 3/10. Wavy, but it felt like Pringles potato powder.
Texture: 1/10. No feel at all.
Appearance: 9/10. It looks like it’s supposed to be light and refreshing, but it isn’t.
Total: 21/50. Tomatoes aren’t indigenous to India.
