Okay, is there anything to this? I don't know one person who's addicted to Hot Cheetos.

But. if you google the subject, the problem seems to be everywhere... hell, it was even a story on NPR.

Of course, "according" to NPR, it's an epidemic. With that old man Warren Olney voicing tragic concern, coupled with the world famous NPR sound department (LOL), they can probably turn anything into a crisis... even Hot Cheetos.

Little kids can't eat enough of them.

Schools hate them.

I'm scared-ed.


"If you've got kids between age 5 and 15, you're probably already aware of a pernicious red menace that's sweeping the nation these days -- Flamin' Hot Cheetos. That's right, the snacks, introduced in 1991 by Frito-Lay (which also makes Original Cheetos, the nation's best selling extruded cheese-flavored snack), have exploded in popularity over the last few years. All over America, school kids can be seen stumbling around in Cheeto-induced dazes. Their eyes watery, their mouths ringed with the atomic red powder that gives the Cheetos their zest."

It's very easy to spot a kid that's addicted to Hot Cheetos - He's the fat kid who sucks at sports.

Never had them, but now I am intrigued.

If I may, this is my line of work. I sell these things 5:1 vs my 2nd best selling snack, though I roll with the baked ones.

Had them for the first time ever just last week. I loved them. There were HOT. I pretty much finished off the bag, but that would happen with any snack food I like. My fingers were red for three days afterward (which is saying a lot because I wash my hands a lot during the day).

I had 'em at a party once. I didn't like 'em anymore than I liked regular Cheetos.
