Flamin' Hot Cheetos have FINALLY Arrived!!!

At long last!!! For 10+ years I would always make a point of checking the grocery aisle just in case they were to show up in Canada. When State side, or at least the states that had them, I would be sure to bring bags home. At one point, Wal-Mart here carried their own generic brand of them that were pretty good however those did not last very long.

However today after years of requests, what did I notice out of the corner of my eye walking down the Shoppers grocery aisle? :twisted: FLAMIN' HOT CHEETOS!!! :twisted: Small bags and big bags!!! Picked up 3 large bags for $3.99 each. Small bags were on sale. Bags say "New" on them. The small bags I believe said "Limited", but I can't be for sure about that.

Anyone I could notice buying Cheetos were buying Flamin' Hot, so hopefully these sell as well the the Jalapeño ones to stick around permanently!

My bad, sorry. I used to see topics about these all the time and didn't think to check in there.

In view of the current patriotic fervor over ketchup, I feel it is my duty to inform you that Cheetos are a cheap American imposter. Here is the real thing:

DO they make a "flamin' hot"? If not, your point is not helping those who are demanding extra hot cheezies. lol

No, they don't. But makaturing is correct - Hawkins Cheezies are the "only" Cheezies in my opinion. Loblaws (at least the one I always seem to end up at) is no longer carrying them, much to the dismay of the junk food manager. People who want Cheezies will not buy Cheetos! Hawkins Cheezies are my only "junk" food. Some bags are better than others - luck of the draw.

If they're anything like I remember in the US they are surprisingly spicy.
If you like spice, they're still no where hot enough but considering that most "spicy" things are like a 1 on the scale these actually give you a little taste of like 3.

Yes!! We get them everytime we go down to the states, and they're definitely better than the jalapeño ones.

Hopefully we eventually get the hot lime ones.
