I grew up in Tucson, Az. and saladitos were sold in almost every convenience
store. They were a mystery to me for a long time. I'd buy one and try eating
the thing but they always tasted nasty. I could never figure out what the
great fascination with the mummified things was. Then someone told me that
the way to eat them was to push them into the middle of an orange or a lemon
and suck on them. He also told me that they were much better when you got
the ones with chile powder on them or put chile powder on them yourself.
That did the trick.
