That’s hot. Or is it?

Anyone who knows me knows that the essence of my being is Flaming Hot Cheetos. The tips of my fingers are permanently stained red. I’ve had coughing attacks because of FHC overdoses. If I’m really full, I will sometimes pick up a cheeto, suck off the red powdery goodness, and then throw away the remaining puffed log. I’m disgusting and oh-so proud.

Today, at 7-Eleven, this caught my eye:

Xxtra Flaming Hot Cheetos

These bad boys claim to be TWICE as hot. It was 9 a.m., so I decided to go with the regular FHCs, as I didn’t really want to be lying in the office in fetal position the rest of the day. But I’m very curious. Has anyone tried these?

UPDATE: THEY TASTE LIKE BURNING! I tried them today and, yes, they are noticably hotter. It’s the type of hotness that creeps up on you. You know, like, “Oh, these aren’t hot at all. What a gyp. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch … AHHHHHHHH!” But they’re pretty good, I guess. Yay for the FHC Empire.

  1. holy moly. that is hot. real hot. (well I haven’t tried them but I’m sure they are hot.) you should try eating them w/chopsticks. they will help w/the stains.

  2. ahhh…. droooool.

    Didn’t know about these… must… go have some right now…

    But keep in mind… Xxtra Hot Cheetos is probably Xxtra hot for white people… for Asians, it’s probably like luke warm cheetos. At least for me… original FHC were pretty tame for me.
