how it works

Pick your spices

Up to 8 per blend from a catalog of 200+. We organized them into categories but some of the placements are debatable.

Choose your corn

Tortilla chips, popcorn, taquitos, puffs. Different geometries hold dust differently. It matters more than you'd expect.

We smith it

Mixed in small batches, tumbled onto your corn, sealed warm. Nothing is pre-made. Your blend has never existed before and statistically may never exist again.

It shows up

3–5 business days. Regular box. Nobody at the post office will know what you've done.

the corn

Tortilla Chips

The triangle. Structurally optimized for dust adhesion. Thousands of years of corn technology led here.

available
Popcorn

Irregular surface creates micro-pockets that hold seasoning at levels the chip can only think about.

available
Taquitos

Cylindrical. Fried. Accepts dust on the exterior while maintaining an interior of its own. A private snack.

available
Corn Puffs

Almost entirely air by volume. The seasoning-to-substrate ratio is genuinely alarming.

available
Corn Nuts

For people who want to hear themselves chew. Aggressive mouthfeel. Holds seasoning through sheer density.

soon
Elote Kit

A whole ear. Butter, lime, your custom dust. Some assembly required. Napkins not included but strongly implied.

faq

Is this a real business? +

We bought the domain. We have a tumbler. The line between "real business" and "two people with a spice problem" is thinner than you'd think.

Can I pick any combination? +

Yes. We won't stop you and we won't ask why. Some combinations trigger a gentle warning but we've never actually refused one.

How fresh is it? +

Mixed after you order. Nothing sits on a shelf. Your blend is born, dusted, sealed, and shipped. Brief but meaningful life.

Allergens? +

We handle a lot of ingredients in a small space. Everything is labeled. If you have serious allergies, email us first — we'll give you the honest answer, not the legal one.

Can I just buy the dust? +

Shakers are coming. Soon you can put your blend on things that aren't corn. We have feelings about this but we'll allow it.

Where do you ship? +

US for now. We have ambitions but also a realistic understanding of international food shipping regulations.
