snack pizza potato and Tabasco , a popular accompaniment to pizza, will be released on Monday, August 18, 2025. It is said to have a refreshing sour and spicy taste added to the usual pizza potato.

The 'Pizza Potato Tabasco Sauce Flavor' arrived at the editorial department in a red presentation box.

When I opened the box, I found 'Pizza Potato Tabasco Sauce Flavor' and a small bottle of Tabasco.

Looking at the ingredients, you can see that in addition to potatoes and cheese-flavored flakes, it also contains red peppers and pepper sauce powder.

I tried to empty everything out of the bag.

Some parts are stained red, like when you pour Tabasco sauce on pizza.

When you try it, you'll notice that the cheese flavor of the pizza potato is enhanced with a hint of sourness and spiciness. The spiciness is masked by the mellowness of the cheese, so even people who don't like spicy food will enjoy it. The pizza potato already has a sour taste from the tomato, but the sourness of Tabasco adds to it, doubling the refreshing flavor. To put it in perspective, it tastes like 'pizza with a sprinkle of Tabasco,' which may not be enough for those who like to put a lot of Tabasco on it.

This time, a small bottle of Tabasco was included, so I tried putting it on 'Pizza Potato Tabasco Sauce Flavor'.

The more I added, the more sour and spicy it became, like a pizza with a lot of Tabasco. It didn't taste different, but rather just had a purely sour and spicy flavor, so I can see that the Tabasco flavor was highly accurate from the start.

'Pizza Potato Tabasco Sauce Flavor' will be available at convenience stores nationwide from August 18, 2025, with an open price.
