Arma Hellfire Energy Hot & Spicy Tortilla Mix Review

As unique as it is, Arma Hellfire Hot & Spicy Tortilla Mix, whether or not that is its actual name, is a needless mouthful and is too verbose to be memorable. I guess you could trim it to read just "Arma Hellfire," but that does not elucidate to exactly what it is, and with all this unnecessary vocabulary the packaging certainly does feel a tad distressed. The design itself is otherwise focused, but much of the text is too large to be ignored at a glance.

Hot and spicy is more of a warning than a description, with each uneven handful blazing your mouth with satisfaction. The fragrant mix is heavy on both almonds and those always injured corn sticks, with some seeds and peanuts for a more varied texture. The coating is equal throughout, and the zesty dusting adds heat rather than simply masking the ingredients' own taste, however the ambrosial coating eventually becomes unpleasantly sweet as the bag is emptied. Sure, sweetness sounds like an odd complaint, but there is just an overbearing saccharinity that adds no flavour and is nothing but cloying. It never neutralizes the herbaceous burn to each bite, and fortunately this do not become an issue until rather late in the experience. I ate Hellfire with a spoon, otherwise my pink shirt would be blotted orange thanks to the subconscious wipes of my hand, and overall, this Arma just does not taste as good as either its chip or drink counterpart.

The kick was unfortunate, lasting under an hour thanks to this mediocre blend: caffeine(seventy milligrams), taurine, inositol, and various B vitamins. There is also a whole lotta calories(440) and salt(1010mg), though the former is partially excused as nuts are naturally fatty. All in all, Arma Hellfire Hot & Spicy Tortilla Mix's execution was not as strong as its ambition.

Arma Energy Drink Review

Arma Energy is one of those drinks that truly excites me, with its incredibly clean can who's engrossing design has a lot going that wisely never sidetracks from the focused main logo. And the mystery of being new to the market and the absence of a suggested flavour only encourages my ever augmenting lust to crack open the can and delve deeper into this review.

Pineapple is tasted right out of the gate, a mild flavour who has a controlled sweetness that stays clear from overwhelming. It is followed closely by a lime and melon alloy, an appealing union who's two parts are as complementing to each other as they are with the rough skinned fruit. The blend adds great depth to each sip, as well an appropriate acidic touch that builds a welcoming platform where for a slight cherry whisper to inaugurate. It deepens the drink's body more so than anything preceding, and it brings its own dry tartness to the party. This is not exactly the most unique flavour ever reviewed, but it is a satisfying experience regardless.

Thankfully stronger than the line's BBQ chips, each can contained: caffeine(160mg), inositol, guarana, ginseng, taurine, B vitamins, and L-carnitine. The kick was still a bit unimpressive, lasting a typical three hours and kicking no harder than any other drink on the shelf. Overall, Arma Energy does enough well that one cannot help but be a bit saddened that this is the company's lone drink offering.

Arma Cobra Energy BBQ Potato Chips Review

Being the first caffeinated potato chips encountered, Arma Energy Cobra comes in a predominately black two ounce bag that does not detail what this product is adequately enough. Sure, it uses the known word "energy," twice actually, and even though it lists supplements towards the top, it should bluntly say "Energy Potato Chips" and not force the consumer to read about the pouch for a moment for themselves to put two and two together.

Perhaps being the most difficult thing to consume and review, my hands were constantly coated in tasty residue from the crisps, and I am thinking that wearing a white shirt today may have been a mistake. The thinly sliced potatoes rest in the bag in a various conditions, and the suggested taste of "BBQ" is a fabulous balance of smokey, spicy, and sweet. The chips are stiff but brittle, thanks to the kettle cooking, and they crunch with satisfaction regardless as to whether or not they are perfectly shaped or shattered. None of the energy ingredients are noticeable, and even when finishing off a bag and eating the superfluous powder and crumbs all you can taste is that of any such chip.

Each bag contains: caffeine(seventy milligrams), taurine, various B vitamins and inositol. This energy blend is lackluster, with the hour plus long potency of any unfortunately small drink, a sacrifice that was probably done in the name of taste.
