Quick Bites are rapid-fire reviews without the lame story.
Today’s quick bite is:
Cheetos Popcorn (Cheddar & Flamin’ Hot)
Description via Cheetos: Introducing CHEETOS® Popcorn, bringing the delicious taste of CHEETOS® to a classic snacking favorite – popcorn! CHEETOS® Popcorn delivers all of the rich, smooth, cheesy flavor you know and love from classic CHEETOS®. Ready to go right out of the bag, it’s popcorn with an added boost of cheesy mischievous flavorful fun.
Cheetos Popcorn (Cheddar)
The good news is that Cheetos Popcorn has the salty, cheesy seasoning that’s unmistakably “Cheeto.” The bad news is that it’s not as good as regular Cheetos.
The popcorn itself is light & airy with respectable crunch. The Cheetos seasoning is a great complement to popcorn, but cheddar cheese seasoned popcorn has been done a million times over. I find this addicting despite not breaking new ground.
Your fingers will be sufficiently covered in “Cheetle”. Oh, by the way… Cheetos is trying really hard to let everyone know that “Cheetle” is the official term for the Cheetos dust left behind, as in “Can you please wash this Cheetle off the dog?” or “It’s not the Cheetle… I just don’t want you to touch me.”

Cheetos Popcorn (Flamin’ Hot)
Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Popcorn has way more novelty factor than the cheddar flavor.
There’s only one problem: Smartfood’s Flamin’ Hot White Cheddar popcorn did it better.
I can’t quite put my Cheetle-covered finger on why this falls flat; it just does. The heat and flavor is there, but something about the Flamin’ Hot seasoning just makes this feel kind of… dry on the palette? I’d be more interested in this if it were doused in butter.
Although that’s probably true of most things.
