For my blog i chose baked hot cheetos. One of the reasons i chose it is because i kind of forgot and there is a vending machine stocked with this brand of chips, but also because i love these chips and have eaten them since childhood. The bag is fairly medium sized with the picture of hot cheetos and the cheeto icon chester the cheetah. The word "baked" is actually the one that takes up the most space and is even followed by an exclamation point. Apparently now every single corporation is getting a health makeover. Most people ive asked prefer normal hot cheetos because they dont like the "health taste" in their snack, but personally i love baked way more than normal hot cheetos.
The taste of this version is lighter and crispier to me, and compliments the spicy cheetoh dust even better. Ever since the first time i tried baked hot cheetos ive never felt the same way about normal hot cheetos, and have even tried other ones such as cheetoh flaming hot puffs which get kind of close to the baked flavor but still lack the wonder that is the baked flavor. Unfortunately they discontinued the big bags of baked hot cheetos probably over a year ago, but at least they still make the smaller bags for schools and similar locations. As you smell into the bag you can feel the rush of spices as you breathe in, but its not so strong that youll tear up or anything.
Like i said before, me and hot cheetos go way back. Actually as a kid i did not like hot cheetos at all, but as all the other kids were eating them i gave in and copied them. At first id rarely let the cheetos touch my tongue, id immediately send them to my teeth to chew, but as time went on my taste buds got used to them and eventually i just loved them and didnt feel any burn on my tongue at all. Im pretty sure if i had not trained my tongue at childhood, which is pretty hilarious, i would not like spicy foods today. Whats interesting is the shape of the cheeto itself. When you look at it there is no pattern just a random squiggly object covered in red dust. Even as i ponder on this strange shape i cant help but smile and finish off the cheetoh dust remaining on my fingers.
I wonder what "health taste" tastes like? Fun topic for the practice, and I admit that I go way back with Cheetos as well (guilty road trip snack). It's been a while since I have had the pleasure of Cheeto dust...
