Title: Post Your Cheetos Thread
Post by: Karura on Thu, 07 April 2016, 23:02:18
Celebrating the introduction of Flamin' Hot Cheetos in Canada, I have decided to unite all of GH under the goodness that is Cheetos, the food of boss nerds.

All variants of Cheetos are welcome; please post below!

I have not eaten chips of any kind for many months now, since a doctor criticised my diet (a big part of which was chips).

Actually it was very kind of him to refer to it as a "diet".

might as well be called "thread for munch"

or "munch's search for the hottest cheeto"

or "how many cheetos does it take to make munch drown in his own drool"

i'm already fresh out of ideas

this thread is for the very elite of geekhack.

that must be rough... but technically they're not chips as they're sort of tubular?

Sometimes you got to go back to actually move forward, and I don’t mean going back to reminisce or chase ghosts, I mean going back to see where you came from, where you've been, how you got here and see where you’re going.  I know there are those that say you can’t go back.  Yes, you can.  You just have to look in the right place. It's not about hugging trees. I'm a Sunchips man. Always have been. Always will be. I liked Sunchips before they were cool.

Japanese Cheetos! Were they actual Cheetos brand or something else that resembled Cheetos? Just wondering what it is that you tried and if I can find it locally, since we have a lots of Japanese markets here.

the korean shops have weird flavours too. kbbq and garlicpepper and other weird ones.
very sweet and not very cheesy. I don't think they're bad just not what I was expecting :(

thai ones were a bit better but still not as good as the american ones IMO...

Has anyone tried the "Sweet-os? I'm so tempted but I know in my heart that they will be disgusting.

I gotta say, when I was a kid, they had these tiny packs of Canadian-branded Cheetos called Cheezies.

They were crunchier, denser, and WAY SALTIER.

When you eat a tiny pack, it isn't as obvious, but man the other day I got a bulk pack of them, and almost died, cause wayyy too much sodium.

I love the flavours more than Cheetos, but it is a shame that they're too salty.

Can someone post a photo of a cheeto, it only has to be one, I am very curious if the shape as I have only ever seen the packet of them with the little tiger on the front so I have it in my head that they are like tiger shaped or something?

I don't think they would look like that though

I never got to try cheetos while I was in America.
We have something similar called Ostepops in Denmark though - not the tastiest I'll admit.

Cheezies were so good. Haven't had any for a long time though. If they have that much salt, it's probably a good thing.
