So Anyway, the Onion Rings...

Burger King Onion Rings Flavored Snacks
Price: 75 cents
Location: vending machine on campus

I figured these would be something like Funyuns: crunchy, oniony, starchy. They were a little different in that they didn't have so much onion powder, there was more of a fried taste and they were a little less crunchy. Less crunchy than Funyuns is actually a good thing in my opinion because Funyuns tend to hurt your mouth in a Captain Crunch kind of way after a while. These were just right: more airy and puffy.

I really like the direction Burger King is going lately. I read somewhere that they were coming out with ketchup-flavored potato chips, as in they would taste like french fries dipped in ketchup, which sounds interesting. I've kept an eye out but haven't spotted these yet. The onion rings are most likely related, though. Burger King really gets people, I think. They have something for everyone on the menu (even a veggie burger!). Also, they have funny little one-liners on their wrappers and boxes, and their commercials are frequently funny. As such, I think it's great that they're branching out into vending machine territory.
