I have a deep-rooted connection with snacks like Cheetos. They were a constant companion during lunchtime and recess, with a bag of Flamin’ Hots or other spicy chips always by my side. Whenever a street cart loaded with tempting treats like elotes or chicharrones de harina would roll by, I never missed the chance to purchase a bag from the vendors. In my neighborhood, we all knew that crushing Hot Cheetos to use as a coating on pickles with chamoy was the ultimate way to enjoy them.
However, Cheetos may have just made my snacking routine a lot more interesting with their latest flavor innovation – Flamin’ Hot Dill Pickle. If you haven’t experienced the delightful combination of a Hot Cheetos-covered pickle yet, you’re truly missing out. The marriage of spicy crunchiness from the snack, the tangy kick from the pickle juice, and the overall satisfying crunch is an experience worth savoring, even if it comes with a potential stomach ache.
It was only a matter of time before Cheetos decided to bring together these two beloved flavors into one irresistible chip. Instagram user snackolator shared the exciting news, describing the new creation as “crunchy Flamin’ Hot Cheetos we all know and love with a dill pickle flavor.” According to them, we are currently witnessing a pickle renaissance, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down.
The packaging of the new Flamin’ Hot Dill Pickle Cheetos features none other than Chester the Cheetah against a festive black and green background. Fans have already started spotting these tantalizing bags in stores like 7-Eleven, with one TikTok user even giving them a glowing “10/10” rating. The excitement is palpable in the comments, with users expressing their eagerness to try this unique flavor combination.
While the bags have been sighted primarily at gas stations like 7-Eleven, there is hope that grocery stores will soon stock them as well. Until then, enthusiasts like me will be scouring every 7-Eleven in our vicinity in the hopes of snagging a few bags of this innovative snack.
