Junk Food Nation, I’m a comic book geek. Well, I used to be – not that I wouldn’t be now, but I fell behind a while ago and never caught up. Still, I feel fully justified criticizing the new DC or Marvel movies that are released, deeming certain movies worthy of my time and others as trash.  Dark Knight? WORTHY! The Punisher, featuring Thomas Jane? I mean, c’mon now.

Recently I learned of the new Fantastic Four reboot, and I was stoked – the first two Fantastic Four movies were garbage, as hot as Jessica Alba was, and I was wondering how Chris Evans would fit into the new Marvel Universe since he, as Captain America, was also the actor who played the Human Torch in those early movies.

So, the reboot is here, and I learned over the weekend that the arch villain in this iteration, Dr. Doom, would NOT be, the power hungry crazed leader of the fictional country of Latveria, but would instead be an anti-social programmer who uses the handle DOOM when blogging.

WTF????

I realize that the version of Doctor Doom in the original movie was kind of hokey, and to do a modern retelling of the Fantastic Four story is hard when Dr. Doom is such an old-timey villain – but an anti-social blogger???? So basically, Dr. Doom is a disgruntled Reddit user?  Or a troll from ESPN.com’s comments?

See what I’m talking about here. What the HELL, Marvel. These choices better pay off, or this comic book nerd is gonna be PISSED.

What do you think, fellow nerd members of Junk Food Nation?  Dr. Doom as an anti-social blogger? Does he write a junk food blog too?

Today’s junk food: Limited Time Only Cinnamon Sugar Pringles Tortillas!

Limited Time Only Cinnamon Sugar Pringles Tortillas: The Money Shot

I’ve written about Pringles Tortillas before here and here.  My general take is that I really liked them – something about the lightness of a Pringle combined with a corn chip really worked.  I’ve also written about Cinnamon Sugar Pringles before – Those I was sort of MEH. Weird tasting cinnamon and sugar on a potato chip.  But now…cinnamon and sugar on a corn chip? Would these Limited Time Only Cinnamon Sugar Pringles Tortillas work?

Limited Time Only Cinnamon Sugar Pringles Tortillas: Limited?

Not sure why these Limited Time Only Cinnamon Sugar Pringles Tortillas are limited…if these are good, why would be limited? If I bite into these chips, and they taste/feel like light crispy churros, I’m going to want these all the time.

Limited Time Only Cinnamon Sugar Pringles Tortillas: HMMM dried black beans?

Limited Time Only Cinnamon Sugar Pringles Tortillas contain dried black beans. And paprika. Pringles, these are cinnamon and sugar chips, you know that, right?

Limited Time Only Cinnamon Sugar Pringles Tortillas: Powderific

I opened this can of Limited Time Only Cinnamon Sugar Pringles Tortillas, and sniffed – it smelled just like a box of cinnamon LIFE cereal!  OOOOOOO. I liked the aroma – not too sweet, definite cinnamon smell, and the chips themselves gave off a corn-cereal-vibe.  My taste buds are PRIMED AND READY.

Limited Time Only Cinnamon Sugar Pringles Tortillas: LOTS OF CINNAMON

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM these Limited Time Only Cinnamon Sugar Pringles Tortillas are good. I’m just gonna get right to the point – these are pretty tasty. Now, pump the brakes a bit – these are not SUPER sweet, like a cinnamon sugar cookie, a snickerdoodle, etc.  These are cinnamon and sugar tortillas chips.  So what did they taste like? Well, they reminded me sort of like a less sweet version of the Taco Bell Cinnamon Twists, or a les sweet crispy version of a churro.  They also sort of reminded me of Corn Flakes that had cinnamon and sugar on them, or maybe more accurately, like Corn Chex.

Basically, these chips were nice and light, and full of corn flavor, like a cereal, while the dusting of cinnamon and sugar was sweet but not so sweet to kill the tiny bit of salt that was present too.  It was more sweet than salty, but I’d definitely characterize this more of the sweet/salty amalgam variety.  And it WORKED – the flavor of the cinnamon and sugar, while WEIRD on a potato chip (Pringle), was PERFECT on these tortillas chips. In my estimation.

So yeah – another successful addition to the Pringles Tortillas family!  Happy Monday!
