Frito Lay is a Puff tease. Just like they did years ago, they got me hooked on the Flamin’ Hot Puffs, then took them away.
You may remember my addiction. If not, here’s my confessional.
I was down to my last bag, so I checked the “Where to Buy” section of the Frito Lay site. I was near two of the stores, so I went in. Both of them. Nothing.
Then I checked a couple more that were not as close.
Then it became an obsession. Dominic asked if we were going to keep “exploring.”
Yes, yes we were.
I finally scored two bags at Store No. 9. Crazed, I checked at two more stores on the way home. Again, nothing.
Store No. 12, the Ridhi Food Mart in Pooler, had one bag and a hookup: A manager said he would get more for me from one of their other stores.
Great. Now I have a dealer. I really do have an addiction.
Observe and report 
rofl!!!

I thought about your confessional the other day and actually looked for these at a sleazy little food mart I ran into because AK had to go potty. I haven’t seen them anywhere….glad you have lined up a connection….

This is exactly what happened the first time they made these. I had to buy a case (a case!) of the snack size directly from Frito Lay. Then the company stopped making them. They had better not do that again. Bastards.

OK. I’ll keep an eye out for these, even though I know this is a study on the use of social media for crowdsourced food procurement. I expect to be invited to the new media class you present the results to.

I was addicted to Act II Zesty flavored popcorn. Apparently it was only in certain test markets and failed to launch. To this day I still cruise down the snack aisle praying that it may just be there once again.

I remember that addiction! I’m so sorry. Obviously, I know how it is.
