Let the snack obsessed be thankful...

...at least for the time being, there's a new flavor of Combos available in at least some parts of the country: Zesty Salsa Tortilla (the link goes to e-bay since they're not listed on the official site).

I found a bag (the last one!) at a rest stop on the Maine Turnpike this weekend. The "tortilla" shell is interesting: kind of gritty, with some corn flavor. The filling is spicy-licious: similar to the Pepperoni Pizza Cracker variety, but hotter and with more tomato underpinnings.

As far as I can tell, this is the first new flavor since the ill-fated mustard variety, which showed up about 10 years ago. I never got to try it. Hopefully these have better luck, since they're quite good. Combos are my absolute favorite junk food: like pretzels and dip or cheese and crackers without the effort!
