Spicy Strips - Spicy Gluten Latiao, Chinese Special Casual Snack Food, Made From Wheat/Chili/Spice, Low Sugar and Low Calories, Best Vegan, 78g (Pack of 2)

My daughter decided she wanted to try these. Why? No idea, but I bought a pack. First, they look absolutely nothing like the picture. They’re very small, thin, and hard. They are incredibly spicy, but not in a good way. There’s a very strange smell, taste and aftertaste that’s hard to place and very hard to get rid of. My daughter has tried everything to make them edible. She has wiped them down and soaked them to try and get some of the taste/smell out. But, there’s no way she or anyone else in the house are going to eat these things. A total waste of money and false advertising with the picture.

I wanted to try these after seeing them on TikTok. First thing is, they had a very strong and pungent smell. I honestly think it isn’t bad once you eat them, but it’s very off putting to a lot of people so if you’re picky this might not be for you. Otherwise, they’re a sweet and spicy snack, which are a bit oily and chewy. Definitely not the healthiest but kind of addicting.I really like them, but I understand all the negative reviews because it’s an acquired taste and if you aren’t open minded it can be hard to try them.

Interesting but as I am unsure of Chinese food healthcode , So I have a hard time trusting it .Some gummy candies from China have warnings on warning of lead and other toxins that might be in them , So ...I took a taste of these and spat it out ...It's very tough texture and medium hot spice ... a bit of a juicynes too .But not for me ....But, I'm sure SOMEONE loves it .

I absolutely adore the spicy Chinese snacks. I don’t know why everybody hates them. I love them. I don’t know what to say. I think they’re so unique and delicious. God bless the people who make these God bless the people who sell them.

So I've boughton from this exact listing before but I had chose the 78 grams, 2 pack. The photos that showed up and still shows up it's in a white package, when I got that one it was red. But I loved the spicy level and the texture. I decided to reorder it again but I chose this one. And at the time of purchase the photo displayed to me was the RED packaging. So I figured "oh they probably updated their packaging! Which is why one listing showed white and the other red. What I got was a clear bag. So I went back though my orders found the first time I ordered it clicked it and sure enough same listing. I figured its probably the same...it wasnt there was no heat! There was hardly and spices or flavor to it, my husband who can't even take one BITE from a Buldak cheese ramen was able to finish it all. I thought because it all in GRAMS and not listed as DIFFERENT BRANDS I thought I was getting the same delicious snack just in a bigger sized bag. Like you know snack size, normal size, shareable size, family size and Texas sized. Ruined my plans at the time so thanks and maybe fix your listing if it's several different brands, so people can make sure to buy the correct spicy level. Would give it just the 1 star, but I did like what I got the first time so a little thank you star.

Oh my god, I had no idea what I was buying. These are so weird from the first bite.The product is a mylar bag of gluten 1/3" inch (9mm) diameter flexible 6" inch (150mm) long tubes. Can't eat one in one bite, one bites off a part of the vegan slim-jim-like snack unit.We hated them on first bite -- but we were still intrigued. We brought a bag to a party and left them out. Three of six people who tried them guessed they were a weird Asian fish product of unknown origin. They *loved* the strange experience.Biting into this: it's a chewy tube (of what?!!) inside another chewy tube with spicy-chile-oil-goo between the tubes or something. It's so weird.So, do not buy this if you live in the US and you don't want to try something VERY weird. This is a really odd product.It's not bad, it's not bland, it's not ... well. It's a curious east Asian snack with textural and flavor challenges for most of us.Note to those who hate them: these are EXTREMELY popular in some areas of east Asia and this brand is one of the top brands. Search for "Latiao" (and other spellings) to read some really crazy stories about how they are so good they are "addictive".

I learned about spicy sticks on TikTok. I was so sure it was going to be delicious. I’m positive this would have been an acquired taste, but it wasn’t at all what I was expecting so I couldn’t finish it. I’ll start off with the positive. The texture was absolutely immaculate. That texture is something I’ll be craving in the future. It was light but chewy. Super scrumptious. The spice was perfect. Your first bite, you’ll feel the spice and aroma go up your throat and through your nose. It was a nice experience.Now for what I didn’t like about it. The flavor. I’d like to say, again, this for sure could be an acquired taste. However, I was expecting something savory. It was unexpectedly sweet so I wasn’t able to finish it. It’s not sweet like cake or anything. I can’t exactly describe it. I saw a review saying it was slightly sweet, but to me, it was more than just slightly sweet.Overall I’ll give it three stars bc even though it wasn’t what I was expecting, it was still a pleasant experience to get to try this snack and maybe I’ll give it another try in the future.
