Gatorade Electric Flash

 


Product circa: 2025

With no description of what it tastes like, the internet says that Gatorade Electric Flash tastes like the orange and lemon lime flavors combined.  They are right.  And it's delicious.  That's about it.

Doritos Late Night Sizzlin' Cheeseburger

 



Note: This is a Presumptive Ephemeral Nom

Product circa: 2025

Though I never posted it on this site, some 15+ years ago I recall having this same product.  It was a revelation.  Each component of a cheeseburger could be parsed from the taste of the product: beef, cheese, tomato, onion, mustard, pickle, and even lettuce.

While I commend that this product actually has beef in the ingredients list, this still doesn't quite measure up to the older version.  At first bite, the beef, cheese, and pickle immediate produce the cheeseburger "vibe".  Aside from the additional onion, and perhaps mustard, that's where this product stops.  It's still delicious, though.

Powerade Sour

 


Note: This is a Presumptive Ephemeral Nom.

Product circa: 2024+

These were a lot of fun.  They tasted great, and the sourness is a great addition to the sports drink genre.  I would buy these regularly if I see them regularly

Cheetos Flamin' Hot Dill Pickle



Product circa: 2025

Note: This is Presumptive Ephemeral Nom

I get it.  It's dill pickle flavoring combined with Cheetos' Flamin' Hot.  They just don't work well together.  I'd rather either of them over the combination.  Otherwise, it's passable.

Goldfish Butterbeer

 


Product circa: 2025

Odd timing for this product in 2025, but it was exciting to spot it.

The butterscotch coating on these is occasionally evident, but otherwise they are just a delicious brown sugar/molasses cookie.

Keogh's Guinness Crinkle Cut Irish Potato Chips

 


Note: This is Presumptive Ephemeral Nom.

No idea if these are hard to find, but they're certainly not easy to find in my parts.

These chips are a celebration of yeast, which can be tasted and also seen high-up on the ingredients list.  The first bite will give you the fruity side of yeast most often found in beer, with that signature fruitiness that's almost banana-like.  It then quickly settles into the savory side of things, with a deep cheesy savoriness with hints of onions and soy sauce.  The ingredients claim coriander and nutmeg, but I don't taste those.  A fascinating experiment!

Cheetos Puffs Cheese Pizza

 


Note: This is a Presumptive Ephemeral Nom

I love a good pizza-flavored snack, which is always signaled with powders of cheese, tomato, and oregano.

It seems like they really half-assed this one.  The added tomato powder somehow dampens the cheese seasoning, and it all feels under-seasoned... like it needs more salt (which I'm sure it doesn't and is already high in sodium).
