This Week in Nachonomics: Armour Lunchmakers Nachos
'Seriously, look at that nonsense. You've got salsa with the barest hint of flavor, cold bland nacho cheese, and tiny stale chips.'

WORCESTER, MA—Worcester guy Derek Sotak eats and rates nachos (and this week, nacho-flavored things) all over the area, reporting about it on his blog Nachonomics. He's also got two books: “The Field Guide to Nachos” came out in the winter of 2014, and it was followed by ”Nachos & You: Living Your Life the Nacho Way."
This week, Worcester Patch is featuring excerpts from his review of Armour Lunchmakers Nachos.

Again, this is another classic example of people confusing “nachos” with “chips and dip”. If they could have made it so you can tear off the salsa and cheese sections so you could dump them on top of the chips, well, then we could talk. That’s not the case though, and the fact that you’ve got to lift and dip the chips, wrong, wrong, wrong.
But wait, there is also a box of Nerds! Because when I think of a candy that goes with nachos, I instantly think of “Gotta-Have Grape” flavored Nerds. To be fair, I don’t think I’ve had Nerds in more than 20 years, so it was a little treat to have them again, but after eating the box I wondered since they came with the nachos, was I supposed to use them as a nacho topping?
