This is the third Mac & Cheetos flavor during my Spicy Snacks Week. I already covered Bold & Cheesy and Cheesy Jalapeño - let`s give Flamin` Hot a try.
As I mentioned in the previous article, I was looking forward to the spiciest flavor from Cheetos. The first thing to notice is the ridiculous bright red color. There is no reason for that other than to make you think it`s "flamin`".
I was immediately disappointed with this version. The flames on Chester Cheetah`s spoon are quite an exaggeration. I ate the entire cup relatively quickly in order to get the spice to kick in, and the sensation was gone in no time.
I didn`t even take a drink.
This concoction doesn`t resemble or taste like mac & cheese at all. As with the other two versions, there is no hint of Cheetos flavor anywhere. I find that odd considering the branding.
To me, the winner is Cheesy Jalapeño hands down. Bold and Cheesy isn`t bad, but it is no different than any other similar brand, AND DOESN`T TASTE LIKE CHEETOS!
I think I`m doing spicy Pringles next, stay tuned.
