Sriracha is the current spicy célèbre, replacing chipotle as the heat you have to meet. It's showing up on popcorn, chips, lollipops, vodka, and knowing how twisted the world is, probably personal lubricant. Sriracha is known for its chili and vinegar taste. It's hot, not the hottest thing in the world, but hotter than most hot sauces you easily find inside of restaurants. That's why the Chex Mix take on it is so disappointing. It doesn't even taste like vinegar which is the second most important taste in sriracha. The flavoring is weak, you have to take a huge mouthful just to even remotely taste what they were attempting.
As all withChex Mixes, there are the two types of Chex, rice and wheat, and pretzel. There is the obligatory bread chip, although what kind of bread it is I can't tell and making it's debut is some sort cheese puff that is sans cheese. My guess is they couldn't make a deal with an actual sriracha maker and thus had to simulate the flavor based solely on the description by someone whose cousin had once tasted it years ago and was drunk at the time. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, there isn't even enough flavor to make it offensive, it's just really sad. Orphan with a sick puppy, sad.
