As every foodie knows, some snacks are better then others. No, we don’t try to be fair here at Guilty Eats, we try to tell it like it is. The honest truth is some snacks can just hit the spot better than others. And one of those are Cheetos.
While a few people call them cheese puffs, everyone knows that they are simply Cheetos. That is how ubiquitous they have become in American foodie culture. First introduced in 1948, they have since become one of the best selling snacks in history.
With that popularity has come scores of different and unique takes on the snack. A Flamin’ Hot version arrived in 1992 and there is now Cheetos flavored mac and cheese, holiday-themed Cheetos and tons of flavor variations that have come and gone over the years.
Cheetos Crunchy Flamin’ Hot Tangy Chili Fusion are available in stores now.
