TXDYNLLKLatiao Spicy Strips 5 Packs Latiao Spicy Gluten Classic Chinese Special Snack Food, Vegan, 辣条, 大面筋, 68g/2.39 Ounces per Pack (Pack of 5)

So I had high hopes for this snack since I’m sure everyone has seen these on TikTok. Man they sure made these look tasty and I was hoping I’d like it as well.As everyone has claimed, yes, the smell is pretty bad. Does not smell good at all. the texture was ok, but that was the only good part other than the packaging was good and secure.It was very spicy to point where it was uncomfortable. The taste was not the worst thing in the world, but it wasn’t good. It also gave me a long nasty aftertaste in my mouth. I could only eat 2 strips before I threw them out.

yes, it does smell bad, but the taste is amazing! people who dont like it probably doesnt have a great spice tolerance. but its very chewy, really spicy, and taste so good.

Not good! Just spicy with no flavor. The texture is spongy, not chewy at all the way it should be. Wanted to return it after the first bite but it won’t allow me.

These things taste terrible.

Deliciously spicy and good. Would be great if it maintained it's cylinder shape but it's a bit flat. Flavor is great though. If you like chili oil, this is for you.

I saw reviews on the smell but figured it can’t be that bad and as long as it tastes good then it’s fine. I opened it and the smell wasn’t too bad but very strong like plastic and fish. I tasted the latiao and it was so gross! to me, it tasted like if you were eating spicy plastic. usually i’m not picky with foods but i won’t be eating the rest. the texture is fine just very oily. wouldn’t recommend

I had high hopes that I was going to like these but as soon as I opened the bag, I was surprised by the bad smell. I tried it anyway and although the spiciness is okay, everything else is very off putting. The texture is weird and taste is oily.

It’s spicy and has a very strong flavor to it, kinda hard to explain honestlyIt smells like Chinese chili oil, has a spongey like consistencyMy sister enjoyed it more than I did, it’s definitely a unique flavor. This one’s not for me but I’m glad I got to try it.
