Update: We tried it! Click here to read our review.
I’ve had Corn Kit Kat and other corn chocolates from Japan, so I do not find this odd. (Spotted by @TheJoshCatlett at Walgreens.)

There’s a chip brand that’s sold at Menard’s home improvement stores that does some weird Limited flavors, and Sweet Corn is one of their regular flavors. It’s a weird flavor when you’re expecting something more like Frito’s.
Herr’s has sweet corn-flavored chips and popcorn pretty regularly. I got some at Ollie’s a couple of weeks ago.
Roasted corn Pretz from Japan are amazing! I lived there for four years and every time I go back to visit I get them. Yum!
Pringles introduced tortilla chips several years ago. They tasted fine in my opinion. However, they flopped at retail. Hopefully, the Roasted Corn flavor will do better.
Herr’s sweet corn popcorn is incredible. Bet popcorn ever.
Are these Walgreens exclusive flavor?
I believe it is.
@Tommy:
Herr’s is indeed the brand I was thinking of. Fire-Roasted Sweet Corn.
@Melody & Marvo:
Several other sites agree that this is a Walgreen’s exclusive, but it’s not listed on their site, and I haven’t had any luck finding them locally.
I also love the Herr’s (and also Aldi brand) roasted sweet corn flavor, so I figure I would love these. I just found out about them today but could not find them at Walgreens. I’m not sure if I’m early or too late!
Update: I tried my local Walgreens again today, and they had them!! They were in the seasonal aisle with the summer items. Taste similar to Herr’s roasted sweet corn. A little salty, but very good. On sale 2 cans/$3.00. Bought 2 and will go back and get 2 more. It made my day to find them.
Score…ish! I stopped at a Walgreens today after work, and they had about 20 cans out. The cashier asked if I’d tried them yet (obviously not, if nobody can even find them), and said she had. They just arrived a few days ago (she thought maybe Friday).
I don’t remember how Herr’s Fire Roasted Sweet Corn compares, but I recently ended up with a Speedway gift card to burn off, and I won’t buy their gas, so I basically blew it on junk food. They had a single-serving range of chips, cheese puffs, and popcorn. Whichever one was sweet corn flavored was better than these.
