Ricos Chamoy Pickle Kit

Bought this as a gift for a friend who thinks it's awesome. I think it sounds gross but she loved it. Win win I guess

Let me preface this by saying: normally I love red 40. Almost everything I eat in a day has at least a little red 40 in it. I have no issue with the consumption of potentially cancerous dyes. The red 40 was in no way my biggest issue with this pickle. The issue began before even opening the pickle bag. The bag absolutely reeked, when I say this pickle was silent but deadly I mean it. Immediately after grabbing the sealed bag the scent went so far up my nose I had a visceral bodily reaction. The first step to unboxing this pickle was opening the window. Despite it being 27 degrees outside the window was essential to surviving longer than one minute in the same room as the aforementioned pickle. The scent alone could have been used as biological warfare in WWI trenches. The scent was stronger than any axe body spray wearing gym bros. Do you remember that SpongeBob episode from 2002, Nasty Patty? The one where SpongeBob and Mr Krabs created the most disgusting Krabby Patty to ever see the light of day, and fed it to a health inspector? The taste of the chamoy pickle was arguably worse than how I imagined the patty tasted. Had the health inspector been eating this pickle the fly that choked him would have died from inhaling the fumes of this pickle long before reaching the back of his throat. Cyanobacteria, one of the earths most resilient species of bacteria, would have immediately perished upon contact with this pickle. The hydrothermal vents alone could not compare to absolutely vile and gut wrenching fumes produced by “food”. Words cannot ever truly encapsulate the disgusting vile smell that is pickle had. There is truly no fathomable way this would ever be FDA approved for human consumption. Moving on to the taste, have you ever eaton a hippos ass stuffed in a tootsie roll, covered in sea foam, and rolled through the sandbox in a playground? Well if thats something you want this pickle is perfect for you. I’m not lying when I say the scent of this pickle was identical to the taste. The pickle alone wasn’t all that bad, the first bite tasted like a normal pickle, but could someone explain exactly why the taste entirely transformed? I’m convinced this was a mind game as after the first bite it started to taste like I licked the floor of a public park restroom. In order to remove the taste of this pickle from your mouth your best bet is to consume an entire clove of garlic and hope and pray for the best. Even the trader joes green tea infused mints(totally sponsored) could not save me from the vile taste that lingered(cranberries reference) even hours after eating it. The salsaghetti combined with the sour taste of the pickle, the sweet fruit roll up, the spice of the takis, and the strange powders and liquid, could never be categorized by the roles of basic taste. If was not sweet, sour, bitter, salty, nor umami, it was its entire own taste. Taking part in the human centipede as the last person in line would not have been as bad as consuming this pickle. To conclude, I am quite sure the chamoy pickle kit is a social experiment. There is just no human way anyone could have enjoyed this. Please send your love and support to all the asmr accounts that eaten multiple of these pickles. 10/10 would recommend, this is not the fumes speaking :)

My beautiful chamoy pickles are the best thing you will experience in your whole life. They are so good and filling. Please try it with an opens mine because it’s a 10/10.

So much was going on. It was sweet spicy and salty. The textures threw me off. A lot comes in the kit for the value. Smells like pickles. Was my stale but hard to bite.

Honestly I seen everyone doing it on TikTok and stuff and it look good but I tried it with my brother/ boyfriend and sister in law and we are not fans . We spit it out soon as we took a bite. It was also really messy but we knew that already. It was definitely fun/funny to do with everyone but wasn’t worth the hype.

I was peer pressured into ordering this but I am so happy I did! I loved trying all of the different options and flavor combinations, lots of which I had never seen or tried before. I plan on having friends over and having a kit for everyone to try!

I fell victim to the tik tok trend but just couldn't bring myself to put my debit card info on tik tok (even thought they probably have access to it anyway). So buying it off amazon made me more comfortable. Anyway I was actually suprised that I like the taste of this concoction lol. The pickle its self taste like a pickle but the chamoy does give it a weird smell and after taste. It had a little bit of kick. The red powder and chamoy sauce are salty and sour also so the fruit roll up and the salsaghetti give a nice sweet balance. Wish it was two fruit roll ups so I could completely wrap the pickle because one didnt suffice. The takis give ot a nice spicy crunch. I didn't use the salt lemon packets because it was salty enough. Wish it had more candy to add to it. Overall very interesting flavor. It's an aquired taste. I'm glad I tried it!

So, I purchase this for my nephew. He seen it on TikTok. He is 8. First, the smell when we opened it was strong, second the taste was like your eating chemicals it was very odd. I couldn't swallow it I had to spit it out. But he fought through it and ate it, his bite. The next day his lips broke out in a rash. Definitely not punching again. Not worth spending the money........
