A couple months ago when one could still cross the border I was lucky enough to have someone pick up a bag of 'merican chips for me (thanks Tyler), Doritos Flamin' Hot Limon to be exact (are all bags of Doritos in the states big? it's 276.4g [I question their precision, but good on 'em for being that specific]). They smell like corn chips and look red like fire (as flamin' hot does). I think first the lime hits, then a hot pepper based heat, followed by a stronger lime zing and topped out by a nice mild afterburn. The third quarter also lets the corn flavour make it's way through that disappears for the last quarter and re-appears in the aftertaste. I like the citrus flavour that the limon adds to the standard flamin' hot flavour, its refreshing..salty but refreshing. They're spicy and get forehead sweats going..but it's an enjoyable forehead sweat. Dipped into some queso, it's a bangin' medley of flavour. Woohah.
I've started re-watching Scrubs lately (just wrapping up season 4) and one of the things that stuck out to me, especially in the first few seasons, is how much of a role music played...and how good of a job the music supervisor did. They didn't just have great songs for montages, but with the S2 opener Colin Hay's in the episode playing his solo rendition of Overkill and interacting with the characters They even incorporated The Polyphonic Spree performing in the hospital into an episode. It just seems like the people behind Scrubs gave a rats when it came to music, and IMO it added greatly to the show. The first soundtrack that went out, Music from Scrubs, was on the alt/indie rock side of the spectrum with some great relaxing music, you could say it was a little soft..but the soft that they came with was great..Francis Dunnery's Good Life, Colin Hay's Overkill and Beautiful World, Nil Lara's Fighting for My Love, and Eels' Fresh Feeling to name a few. Scrubs wasn't just picking the trendy new songs, or commissioning covers of old hits, it feels like they picked music with intention. Shit's pretty fire. (I didn't get Scrubs: OST Vol 2, but reading the track listing I only recognize the aforementioned Polyphonic Spree, and Colin Hay, which is honestly a good sign to me.
Stay hydrated,

ps. The connection is they're both pretty fire..and produced in the states, haha.
