It’s approaching summer and summer means lots of barbecues, pool time, and just plain fun with friends! Oftentimes, we have impromptu pitch in gatherings with friends. We had one of these a couple of weeks back!

We always have plenty of food when everyone brings stuff and this alleviates the pressure on the host to cook everything. Things we always like to pick up at the last minute that we know the kids – there are quite a few of them – will love is Frito Lay products! So when Frito-Lay asked if they could send some of their newest products including  over to us to try out, I was all in!

You can sample these items for yourself today (5/17) from 4 – 8 p.m. (local time) at participating Kroger or Kroger affiliated store location. You can score FREE samples of the new Doritos Loco Taco, Cheetos Mix-ups, and Pepsi Next at the event! Find the store nearest you.

Cheetos® MixUps Xtra Cheezy Mix and Cheetos® MixUps Cheezy Salsa Mix

• Looking for a family snack everyone can agree on? New Cheetos MixUps offer four shapes and four flavors in every bag. Something for everyone to love!
• “Feeling a little zippy? New Cheezy salsa Mix-Ups spice up your favorite Cheetos cheddar puff with salsa picante, jalapeno, and chipotle cheddar!”
• “New Xtra Cheezy MixUps have four cheese flavors all in one bag! Try cheddar, parmesan, double cheddar and nacho cheese flavored Cheetos!”

Doritos® Locos Tacos Flavored Tortilla Chips

• “What’s better than tacos and Doritos? Taco and Nacho Doritos flavored tortilla chips all in one bag!”
• “It’s like a crunchy delicious taco and your favorite Nacho Dorito all in one bag! Can you handle this much kick in one tortilla chip.

Pepsi NEXT

A game-changer in the cola category: the first to deliver real cola taste with 60% less sugar than PepsiCola.

• After years of research and development, we’ve unlocked the great taste of Pepsi NEXT, the choice for consumers who want real cola taste with less sugar.
• If you love the taste of Pepsi but they don’t believe you can achieve full-flavor taste with a diet cola, then you have to try Pepsi Next to believe it.
• Pepsi NEXT is crafted from the right mix of cola flavor and a blend of sweeteners to closely match the real cola taste you expect from Pepsi, with 60% less sugar.

Our guests love the Doritos Loco Tacos and the Cheetos Mix-Ups had a great crunch to them! The kids weren’t big fans of the Cheezy Salsa Mix-ups as they were a little too spicy for their taste and some of the puffs are green, which is a turn off for them. I thought they were great, though. All three bags of chips and the Pepsi Next were gone in no time at all! It was a perfect pairing to our hamburgers & brats!
