I tried the 'Super Spicy Mania Red Red Chili Flavor' which is addictive with its exquisite spiciness, and the 'Sour Mania Super Sour Plum and Salt Flavor' which is so sour that it makes me want to shave



Japan Frito-Lay's corn snack 'Mania Series', which features 'a shocking taste for maniacs', will be newly added with ' Super Spicy Mania Red Red Chili Flavor ' and ' Sour Mania Super Sour Plum and Salt Flavor '. The actual product was sent to the GIGAZINE editorial department ahead of the release on Monday, June 24, 2024, so I tried eating two types of snacks to face the hot summer.

Face the hot summer with a shocking sensation! Two new flavors from the Mania series: 'Super Spicy Mania Chili Flavor' and 'Sour Mania Super Sour Plum and Salt Flavor' will be released sequentially from Monday, June 24, 2024 | Announcement | Japan Frito-Lay

On the left is the 'Scream Snack Super Spicy Mania Red Red Chili Flavor,' and on the right is the 'Enthusiastic Snack Sour Mania Super Sour Plum and Salt Flavor.'



'Super Spicy Mania' is said to be a product that has 'evolved further' by inheriting the lineage of

the red chili flavor that was born in 2006.



The ingredients are as follows. The ones that seem to affect the taste are sugar, powdered soy sauce, habanero powder, powdered miso, chicken extract powder, and red chili powder. Surprisingly, sugar is the most abundant ingredient, excluding corn grits and vegetable oil, which are the main ingredients of the snack.



Each bag weighs 50g and contains 275kcal.



The warning states, 'Please only try this if you are confident in your ability to handle spicy food.'



When you open the bag, a scent that seems painful to inhale wafts out.



For people who can eat spicy food to a certain extent, the moment you take a bite of the 'Super Spicy Mania,' it's a 'delicious normal corn snack,' but as the back of your mouth gets hotter and hotter, you'll notice that sweat is starting to ooze out from under your nose. I think the previous 'Super Spicy Mania' was violently spicy, like 'It hurts, I can't do it, my tongue is dying, I want to pull my tongue out right now,' but as it was aimed at being 'super spicy but still edible,' it has a 'continuous eating tendency' that makes you reach out for the next one, saying 'It's spicy, it's tingling, but one more...' As there is a warning, people who don't like spicy food shouldn't even think about eating it, but the spiciness level of this product can be said to be boss-class, so if you want to try it, you should start with another spicy snack.



On the other hand, 'Sour Maniacs' are 'fanatics about the sourness of the plum, accentuated by the salt,' and so have provided photos of pickled plums so that the sourness can be enjoyed visually as well.



Ingredients include corn grits, vegetable oil, salt, cornstarch, plum powder, chicken powder, and powdered vinegar.



One bag is 50g and contains 270kcal, almost the same as 'Super Spicy Mania.'



There was also a warning here that said, 'Please only try this if you are confident in your ability to handle sourness.'



When you open it, you are greeted with a tingling scent that tickles the back of your nose.



On the other hand, the 'Sour Mania' has a sour taste that explodes in your mouth the moment you put it in your mouth and place it on your tongue. You might think 'I'm getting used to it,' but when you eat the second one, you'll realize 'No, it's still sour!' The sweetness doesn't come out even if you continue to eat it, so you can continue to enjoy the fresh and stimulating sourness forever.



'Super Spicy Mania Red Red Pepper Flavor' will be released in convenience stores from Monday, June 24, 2024, and 'Sour Mania Super Sour Plum and Salt Flavor' will be released in convenience stores from Monday, July 1, 2024. The expected price for each is around 156 yen including tax.

Amazon.co.jp was accepting pre-orders for the 'Super Spicy Mania Red Red Chili Flavor' for 167 yen including tax.
