Who knew that the cronut would spawn such madness? And, that Walmart had a bakery department? The Crotilla is the latest entry into the pastry-hybrid game. And it’s brought to us, of all places, by Walmart.
The half-croissant, half-tortilla appears quite versatile. According to Walmart, the Crotilla can be used on ‘everything from breakfast sandwiches to Indian food.’ Or, use one to confuse guests… or simply as a reminder that some Walmarts have a bakery department.

You may be wondering why someone would come up with packaging and marketing for one tortilla chip. Well, this particular chip, Carolina Reaper Madness, is made with the hottest pepper known to man. So, the choice to only offer it individually, is probably to keep you from dying.
As the name implies, the lone chip is made using the hottest pepper in the world, the Carolina Reaper. The chip comes packaged in its own triangle foil and a small coffin — which seems reassuring.
Paqui, the maker of the Reaper, is even trying to taunt would-be “spice-heads,” by offering the One Chip Challenge. Let us know if you try one.

Stop lying down on boring rectangle towels that aren’t giant tortillas. The Tortilla Towel will add some much-needed style to your lazy day.
The five-foot towel is printed on both sides to look like a giant flour tortilla. The best part, is that the towel is versatile enough that you can be a lazy burrito, lounging torta, or a chillaxin enchilada.
The towels are currently sold out, so you’ll have to wait to be a filling. Stay tuned here.

To help celebrate Quesopalooza, a day of giving out free cups of cheese, Moe’s Southwest Grill created a Tortilla Chip Guitar.
The fully-functional and mostly edible guitar was made by Atlanta Props, who takes us through the building process, gives us a quick jam, and then promptly smashes it — so there will be no double-dipping. Guac and roll!!!
Quesopalooza is September 17th.
