Big fan of dried fruit even though the sugar content of dried fruits is high.
Among the different types of dried fruits, my favorite is dried mangoes. I discovered the dried mangoes from Thailand which was spicy and saltier than the regular variety. I was surprised that it was available at a nearby grocery. I bought two packs.
Much to my dismay, these dried mangoes were neither spicy nor salty. These were just regular dried mangoes despite the advertising in the packaging.
What a disappointment! What was a purchase that turned into a disappointment for you?

I love dried fruit but try to get the no-sugar-added variety... Not Diet. Those taste nasty! Just the ones without added sugar. Those are good... I like dried peaches, dried apricots, dried apples, dried cherries and dried bananas. 
I've tried dried mangoes but wasn't impressed with them.

I used to eat a lot of dried fruit. I'm not into salt but enjoy a good sugar in things. Lying on packages should be outlawed.
I ordered something for dinner and when it got here I wasn't hungry for it anymore. Can't return it.

@allen0187 ........I ordered an enchilada and rice with fried beans. It looked good but I'm no longer in the mood. Maybe later.

That’s one of my favorite snacks too. But it seems I haven’t tried the one in the picture you posted. It’s a shame it didn’t meet your expectations since it wasn’t as spicy as the packaging claimed. I already enjoy the regular sweet dried mangoes.

@allen0187 Oh yes, one of my favorites as well. I enjoy dried green mangoes, but I rarely find those truly green ones with that perfect sweet and sour taste; most of them end up tasting mostly sweet.

@rsa101 there's a brand that I buy at the grocery.
If I come across it again, will make a post about it.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I have a pack of dried strawberries getting ready to be devoured.
Haven't tried kiwis though.

No sugar or diet drinks are a scam if you ask me. Doesn't taste like the real thing and is nowhere near the benefits that they offer since it is sugar-free or is a diet-version.

They are really good.
I mean really really good.
Mango and chilli is a match made in heaven
But your pack was neither salty or spicy.
What a bummer.
Oh my god I have bought so much stuff that has been a let down I could write a book about it

Dried chili? Will have to try it as a snack.
I've had dried pineapple and I like it.

you are right about sugar content but sometimes we can't help ourselves. i am glad they weren't spicy cause i really don't like when something is dried and spicy as well. disappointment, hm, i had a few experiences on this. i think a korean kimbap. it was too pricey and it had only a few pieces to eat and i ate them very fast and they didn't allow me to choose do i want a meat one or a veggie one. i ordered it through app and i said never again. as for the taste, hm, i think i burried many negatives inside me
