She used the pulverized powder as a delicious sprinkle of heat in soups and admitted to eating a spoonful or two as is. She did appreciate the thought behind it and didn’t let it go to waste. I may not have fully realized how much of a journey this little bag would go on, or which shipping method was surefire, but I did my best to get it to her.įour and a half weeks later, I got a message on WhatsApp of a picture of the completely flattened Flamin’ Hot Cheetos bag that had arrived at her apartment. She revealed this sad truth in a letter, and I immediately thought to send her a surprise bag of our favorite spicy snack. In 2016, when my best friend went to teach English in South Korea, she was shocked and saddened to learn that Flamin’ Hot Cheetos were nowhere to be found. I will admit that I love Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and I love burritos, but the combo isn’t my favorite, though I’m not here to yuck anyone’s yum. Several years ago, I drove 45 minutes to find the only taco shop in San Diego I saw on the internet with such a hybrid - a drive that was worth the treat for the novelty of it. Now we often see “Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Burritos” at many Mexican joints, but they used to be far and few between. Over the years, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos have become more and more popular with “foodies” and have been added to all sorts of menu items - elote, ramen, mac and cheese, and sushi rolls. Once the spice from the club-shaped treat hits your tongue, you must eat more, and more and more to momentarily pause the heat - a vicious cycle I choose to indulge in. While the slogan, “betcha can’t eat just one” belongs to another iconic chip, this is certainly the case with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos as well. I love Flamin’ Hot Cheetos for what they are - an artificial, unnatural and slightly addictive treat.
