Reviews mention

  • Playful packaging design delight
  • Inventive flavor lineup variety
  • Airy, crunchy puff texture
  • Generously filled snack bags
  • Inconsistent flavor intensity coating
  • Sweet chocolate flavor underwhelming
  • Texture occasionally mealy or sticky
  • Stales quickly after opening

FFUPs earns polarized reviews: many find the airy-crunchy corn puffs highly snackable with inventive flavors like Unambiguous Cinnamon Toast, Grocery Store Cheddar, and Professional Salt & Vinegar, while others say the taste skews one-note or subdued and prefer classic Cheetos. Reviewers praise the fun, fully stuffed packaging and satisfying texture, but flag inconsistencies—stale quickly after opening, mealy texture for some, uneven “flavor dust,” and divisive sweet flavors (especially Hot Chocolate).

  • In all honesty - these came while I was out of town, and to my dismay, my husband consumed all of the savory varieties of the FFUPs and couldn’t eloquently tell me his thoughts (they were tasty, thought, since they were gone). The flavor I was most excited about - instant hot chocolate - was a fun snack to have as it satisfied a crunchy and sweet craving. The flavor was also spot on, with our being cloyingly sweet. I enjoyed these and would pick them up if I found them in person.

  • Honestly these are delicious. No notes. My favorite flavor was the vinegar ones and cheddar! Loved them all. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

    Nothing I absolutely loved them.

  • Cheddar was the best, followed by the sour cream & onion. The cinnamon was as described but I was difficult to finish the chocolate. Overall, they tasted alright but not great enough to repurchase.

    Offer smaller snack size packages.

  • I think most of the flavors I received with the Thingdrop were really good... The cheddar were the best but sour cream and onion were a solid second place. I would definitely purchase again if I saw them pop up in local stores, I'm just not much of an ordering food online girl normally! The packaging also gives me a good giggle.

    Feedback

    The hot chocolate flavor honestly kind of tasted like nothing? And I would love to see them stocked in grocery stores near me! Other than that no notes!

  • Branding is fun and texture is great - fluffy and crunchy. Love the size - not too small and not too big. The flavors didn't work for me though. I found the savory ones are one note - salt & vinegar is too sour, cheddar is salty, and the sweet ones are subdued.

  • Great flavor Especially love the cheesy ones. Do not taste “artificial”. Nice and crispy. Will definitely buy again.

  • I loved trying Ffups from the Thingdrop. They are light but extremely tactful. I can’t decide which flavor would be my favorite. Compared to other similar items out there, the Ffups flavor is far superior.

  • All flavors were great! The tubes themselves had a nice crunch to them and didn't taste greasy whatsoever. Both savory and sweet flavors tasted pretty complex and unlike what you can get at a grocery store.

    I think resealable packages may help elongate shelf life. Once they're open, they get pretty stale after 3 days.

  • Tried these for the first time recently (as they just came out) and I was pleasantly surprised! The flavors were creative but not overpowering and the texture was great.

  • I am so into the idea of PIZZA flavor, the reviewer below is a genius!!! These were great and fun but it's hard for me to justify the purchase since a corn puff is a corn puff. This is not a criticism of their pricing at all — it's hard out there for an independent snack company, I get it! — but more about me and my spending capacity. The sour cream and onion flavor was truly excellent, though, and cheddar was also quite good. I'd purchase again for an occasional splurge but don't imagine amassing enough personal wealth to keep my pantry stocked with these.

  • I ate an entire bag in one go, and everyone that tried them at our party was a fan! We had all 5 flavors and they all hit the mark. My favorite was salt & vinegar, but that is usually my favorite flavor in snacks. The hot cocoa one sounded weird but actually tasted amazing!

  • I got these for my gf as most weren't vegan friendly, but she seemed to really enjoy them and the one that was vegan I absolutely destroyed in a sitting.

    More vegan flavors PLS

  • Intriguing packaging, thought the chips tasted fine (particularly enjoyed the sweet flavors), but overall, wasn't blown away. I don't think the savory flavors offer anything different than what can already be found in store-- the sweet flavors were different and pleasantly surprised me, but not sure I would go out of my way to order these again.

  • So many delicious flavors of puffs, and the branding is kooky in the best of ways.

  • These were okay.... I didn't like them too much. I found them messy and some of the flavors off/weird. There was nothing too outstanding about them, and I'm not sure why I spent more money on these when Cheeto puffs would have been just fine.

  • Great texture (for all of those Bamba lovers) - only wish they came out with more flavors that are less savory and more sweet! A PB flavor to compete with Bamba would be a dream

  • Exactly as advertised. Not healthy but tastes fantastic. My favorite flavor is the cheddar one. I have packs at home ready for a movie night or a party and once opened, they always finish

    Feedback

    Have different bag size options so I can have a smaller one to take to work

  • Some of the flavors, like Cheddar and Sour Cream & Onion, were fantastic. I didn't enjoy the Salt & Vinegar or Chocolate Milk. But overall, I really enjoyed them!

    Feedback

    The flavor choices :)

  • It was okay. I wasn't a huge fan of any of the flavors that were available. But the textures and branding were nice and funny enough. The savory flavors were better than the sweet flavors in my opinion but that could just be a personal preference.

    Feedback

    I think the flavor dust needs to be adjusted, it was just a touch too strong for me on most of the tubes.
