BBQ Essentials: Frito-Lay and Pepsi Products! #FritoLayFreeForAll

Disclosure:  This is a sponsored post by Frito Lay.  I was sent this product to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

For whatever reason our house has always been “the house” to go to and during the summer we have a BBQ pretty much every weekend.  There are some essentials that are a must-have for every BBQ at our house and thats good chips and good soda.  Well thanks to Frito-Lay and Pepsi, we had a great BBQ for Mother’s Day.

To top off our BBQ, we got to try out some of the newest, boldest and most innovative PepsiCo products which include: Doritos Locos Tacos tortilla chips, Cheetos MIX-UPS snacks and Pepsi Next.  In addition to those new snacks, I picked up a whole bunch of snack size bags of all the different Frito-Lay flavors so everyone can pick out the flavors they want!  Normally I just put out big bags, but the snack bags were a huge hit and who doesn’t love Frito-Lay chip varieties!

Well PepsiCo and Frito-Lay wants everyone to be able to try out the new products so they are doing one more Free For All Friday event at Kroger stores this Friday, May 17th from 4 to 8 pm. local time.

The new products they are featuring are:

Cheetos® MixUps Xtra Cheezy Mix and Cheetos® MixUps Cheezy Salsa Mix

Looking for a family snack everyone can agree on? New Cheetos MixUps offer four shapes and four flavors in every bag.  Something for everyone to love!

“Feeling a little zippy? New Cheezy salsa Mix-Ups spice up your favorite Cheetos cheddar puff with salsa picante, jalapeno, and chipotle cheddar!”

“New Xtra Cheezy MixUps have four cheese flavors all in one bag! Try cheddar, parmesan, double cheddar and nacho cheese flavored Cheetos!”

Doritos® Locos Tacos Flavored Tortilla Chips

“What’s better than tacos and Doritos? Taco and Nacho Doritos flavored tortilla chips all in one bag!”

“It’s like a crunchy delicious taco and your favorite Nacho Dorito all in one bag! Can you handle this much kick in one tortilla chip?”

Pepsi NEXT

A game-changer in the cola category: the first to deliver real cola taste with 60% less sugar than Pepsi-Cola

After years of research and development, we’ve unlocked the great taste of Pepsi NEXT, the choice for consumers who want real cola taste with less sugar.

If you love the taste of Pepsi but they don’t believe you can achieve full-flavor taste with a diet cola, then you have to try Pepsi Next to believe it.

Pepsi NEXT is crafted from the right mix of cola flavor and a blend of sweeteners to closely match the real cola taste you expect from Pepsi, with 60% less sugar.

Everyone loved the new products, especially the Pepsi Next which is a cross between Diet soda and regular.  I honestly really liked this soda and didn’t notice a diet taste which I usually don’t like.  As far as the new Doritos and Cheetos go, it was a toss up and pretty much split with who liked each.  They were so cheesy and different than other chips anyone has tried, and the perfect combinations of flavors and textures!

Yes Cheetos, Steak & Shrimp!

Cheers!
