Not hungry for some football, but a football.
Yes, this little... thing is supposed to be a football-shaped tortilla chip. See the laces on top?
Tostitos, a Pepsi-owned Frito-Lay product, has done foot-ball shaped chips before, but not if I recall correctly in their Hint of Lime flavor. That's the favorite of the L&T Mrs. Key.
These are thicker and smaller than the usual Tostitos chip, which is okay -- less chance of breakage when going for the dip. While not being an authentic-type cantina-style tortilla chip, they're still a much closer approximation than Fritos.
A lot are still busted in the bag, of course. Despite the nitrogen in the bag, fumbles will happen, and I'd say maybe 40% of the chips did not maintain a perfect football shape. They still taste the same, of course, and the proof of the tortilla chip is in the eating.
Pepsico's sponsorship with the NFL is intended to meld the football-watching experience with the chip-and-soda consuming experience, but nope -- I'm still not watching. Since the NFL decided to take a dump on its biggest fans in 2020, I've maintained my anti-NFL stance, which will probably remain in place until Roger Goodell walks out of the building with his cardboard box of desk tchotchkes. Those of us who hoped that at least the NFL and the armed forces would be resistant to the poke of wokeness were and are disgusted by just how fast they folded. They collapsed like a, well, a bag of Tostitos under a fat guy's ass. All that remained were busted chips and some gas.
It's as well for me, since the Giants suffered their worst playoff loss, against the Santa-hating Eagles, since the embarrassing Super Bowl XXVI. I wouldn't have even bothered with the football-shaped chips, but that was all they had, and my wife wanted Hint of Lime Tostitos.
On the bright side, when it comes to eating the ball, a football-shaped chip is a lot more pleasant than being sacked by a 300-pound lunatic, so there's that.
