man those are great, thanks for the reminder (agreed on no dip needed but couple that with a quality spicy guac and it's almost a meal)

they're like what the aimless Frito's always strived to be but had limited cultural reference points.

That was a sad shopping trip. I don’t very often walk out of there with nothing chocolate-based. And I forgot to get more of those elote chips because I saw the umami flavored ones first.

I tried the elote chips. They are good and have a nice spice, although I’m not really a Fritos guy. Looking forward to trying the umami ones. I regularly put their umami powder on egg dishes.

YES!!! Best chips ever! I think it’d be insane to put any dip on this and cover the flavor. Got the Hatch Chili flakes, can’t wait to put that on some pizza. Also got the Smoked African blend, which is too similar to the Hatch, not sure how I’m going to use that yet, but it’s good.

It's become obvious that their general flavors of the (month? season?) like elote or ube or the current chili crunch are trending a good year or two behind the local vendors at my town's farmer market, who I'm sure themselves are tracking something else. And maybe this has long been obvious but I pick up on food trends at the farmer's market myself, so...?
