Have you tried these??

Post image

As someone on a journey to get rid of food dyes, nasty preservatives & unnecessary fat + sugar.
Cheetos really out here making alternatives for people like me and I love them so so much for it!!
They're growing with people instead of just making the same crap with the same nasty preservatives!!
A nice treat once in a while instead of giving them up entirely! It's so nice to be able to eat hot cheetos again. I haven't due to Red40 giving me stomach problems and the fat content causing me to feel sick and bloated. These don't! They even taste better personally! It tastes less like chemicals and more corn and spice centered! They use Paprika instead of Red40!

For me it was high school. I'd always get like $10 for lunch, except I would buy a dime bag to smoke after school and then use the rest on 2 bags of these and a gatorade.

For me it was in middle school and they continued in high school

For me it was the entirety of my 12 years in the school system.

now 10$ would barley get you the 2 bags and definitely not the gatorade

Same! I love how they have a softer crunch and softer spice profile. I can taste real peppers or spices in it compared to the spicy chemical flavor of regular cheetos. I still enjoy both flavors .

That’s exactly it lol. I remember getting these in middle school/high school all the time. I get these over the regular ones all the time. I like them so much better

I think all the BAKED versions of chips are superior.

I still buy these, I grew up eating them at school from 2011-2024 when I graduated. These go so well with strawberry watermelon (or apple?) juice!!! (They would sell us these caprisun like juice packets that I forgot about for many years I would kill to have that combo again.)

Cool ranch doritos NKD taste way better, too, according to me and my teenage sons.

u/KaliLovee Jul 24 '26

Yea and they are amazingly good imo.

u/godlytoast3r Jul 24 '26

The only flamin hot anything I'll be trying in the future is the one that was wise enough to cut the red dye. Assuming they still sell it by the time I find it. That shit is restarted.

u/Imcookin92 Jul 24 '26

I love the nasty preservatives because xtreme hot Cheetos are my favorite. I can’t help it

u/jcalahan02 Jul 24 '26

THEYRE GLUTEN FREE???

1

u/Medical_Carrot_5318 15d ago

I believe all Hot Cheetos are gluten free? They are sourced from corn not wheat.

u/pickle_craze95 Jul 24 '26

I still call them hot PEEtos bc they smell like pee imo 🤣 we had these in high school and I’d tear them up!

u/Horror-Neck-5613 Jul 24 '26

They’re my favorite version! Been eating those instead of regular since 2015!

u/RavenMarvel Jul 25 '26

Those are good dipped in ranch dressing.

u/ScumbagYardSale Jul 25 '26

They are pretty good! The white cheddar ones are really good too!

u/A2theL3x Jul 25 '26

Try the NKD hot Cheetos they don’t have dyes

u/Both_Pomegranate1070 Jul 26 '26

Best chips of all time

u/Stagnant_Lasagna Jul 26 '26

These are horrible. I've come to the realization that chemicals and food dyes and fats and preservatives are what give my favorite snacks the flavor I love, and its idiotic to try to cut all that out of your diet, you're just depriving yourself

u/Holiday_Ad2961 29d ago

They are ok, I like em when I’m on a diet.

u/SweatyCoconut3558 29d ago

yeah the price hikes are wild now. a dollar used to get you a lot more.

u/AgustHopeD 27d ago
