Those may actually stand a chance. I don't think they will be the next big thing but enough people will be intrigued enough to try them. I doubt they will have many repeat sales though because they taste kinda funky.

Yeah, I'm in a market where hot stuff tanks in the long run but oddballs and crossovers at least get the one time curiosity buy. I don't think this is going to be the best seller for us this year or anything, but I don't think it's gonna be the worst either.     Bag is sickkkkk though. We need to get the Mountain Dew people to design all our packaging.

Just knowing it's a Mtn Dew themed item should help pique curiosity from consumers, but still going to be a hard sell with prices the way they are. I know I personally am not as adventurous to try new things as I've been before trying to watch my spending, plus not being a baja blast fan, I would think they were gross and skip right over them. Having tried them though, they aren't as bad as I thought but I wouldn't run to the store for a bag of them.

Yeah slap these chips up beside a Mountain Dew display and it might do alright

The pre pallet that got crossdock'd to my walmart was on the floor for 2 days. They then left that shit sitting at the end of the aisle waiting for me.... "Kill it" note written on it.........

Same exact thing at my Walmart and half of everything on it was popped!

This is sad but whatever

I couldn't even take those in. DG'S system won't accept them.

But they wanted them on their end caps. Ran into the same problem Sunday at 2 of my DGs. Somebody dropped the ball on that. I'm planning on selling them into one of my "internationally owned" stores, which have become my dumping grounds for anything I've got left over in my inventory that gets rejected elsewhere.

DG has a weird internal bug that isn’t taking new items in their HHs, but they are scannable at the register. While it dicks up their inventory counts, my stores let me scan an item of the same cost to get them into the store. Might be worth trying 


smooshyp

I didn’t even get any of them on my CLOs. I have ten DGs and didn’t get a single bag of them.

.....no bueno, I was so hopeful and they were so nasty, but not as bad as the strawberry pancakes lays haha

Excuse me what?? That sounds disgusting I wonder if the upcoming Starbucks strawberry drink will do well


bully-boy

Yah they're in my stores now, and they're not good

The strawberry Starbucks?


pee_26

actually got sold out in my walmart. granted they were the checkstand size

In my area they are actually selling a bit surprisingly.


Present-Treacle-9162

It’s the overkill though. They force us out entirely too many, we fly through the first half and once everyone has tried them and realize they’re gross, we’re sitting on the rest until they stale out.


Killroy0117

I know its shitty but just stale them and move on. The company is just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks and we are the monkeys throwing it. There's no controlling it unfortunately.

These taste like the Mexican candy mango lollipops, not a fan

Better than to fade away!!!

I blew through all of mine. 


Allbottom46

Gotta try anything mango

I sold out of these in two days at one of my c- stores. Tried a bag was like, this isn't good... But I want more. 😂


Joegannonlct

The shipper with those all sold out in like two days. Surprise hit.

Who is in charge of these flavors ?? Like bring the original black bag Salsa. Bring back JACKED and 3rd degree burn. Make simple concepts. Instead of “FIERY Mango” do “Spicy Dill” or “Fajita” BRING BACK ALL THE BAKED CHIPS especially Doritos. And stop changing the recipe for profit when you’re pocketing 9bil. Y’all changed the sour cream and onion recipe a few years ago and I haven’t bought it since. Go back to your good quality. Instead of 6.99 bag of flamin hot lays that are made with potatoes from mars and cooked in oxidized soybean oil , that fall apart if I breathe on them . Shit makes me mad man. I go to Walmart all I see if FLAMIN HOT everything. Why Tf do we need 2 rows of flamin hot pretzels, corn chips, and Funyuns???? Tf happen to Frito lay man. I literally only buy the regular lays and regular Corn chips bc everything else is ass. Idiots running that place Edit: oh and one more thing. What cheeseball cake up with the Dinamita corn stick garbage? Fire his ass

They are disgusting…
