A new snack about to hit convenience store shelves in Japan might possibly make waves, it could start a buzz, but it will definitely generate . . . fizz. FritoLay's Shuwa Shuwa is, according to the promotional copy, "a snack that allows you to enjoy the fizziness of a carbonated drink via the pairing of long-seller Cheetos and Pepsi Cola seasoning."
That's right: Pepsi. Flavored. Cheetos. The PR claim is that the "refreshing tartness" combined with the bubbly sensation is the perfect taste for summer, but what did the office taste-testers think?
Reformed sugar-holic Mark: "The first crunch packed plenty of joy and wonder, taking me back to the first time I had Pop Rocks, but by the third or fourth bite, the sugar rush was too much and they just ending up tasted like sickly sweet Cheetos. It was a bit like this."
