When I saw these at the supermarket, my first thought was, "Oh these again. Haven't seen them in a while. They're tasty." Then I recalled that only a couple weeks ago or so in that very junk food aisle, I looked that the Bugles section and lamented the lack of a salt & vinegar Bugle.
I have searched this blog and cannot find a salt & vinegar Bugle review and so I am rectifying that.
Ever since I was a boy I have enjoyed a good Bugle. They're like savory Corn Pops with a big maize flavor and the perfect level of salt. I was further endeared to them when my high school chemistry teacher revealed that he was a co-inventor of the snack back in his days at General Mills.
Like your regular Bugles, these were a moderately deep yellow in color and have the trademark flattened cone shape. I stuck my nose into the bag and got a deep whiff of mainly corn aroma, but some oil too. If there was any vinegar to be had, it was surely very mild.
As expected they were nice'n'crunchy and were bursting with corn flavor. Salt level was just like plain Bugles while the vinegar was very mild. I had to put 2 or 3 in my maw at the same time to really taste the tang. To General Mills' credit, they did use dried vinegar here instead of a mix of other acids to simulate it.
Overall a good taste but these lack a sour acetic punch.
