About this deal

The flavoring adheres to the sticks — which are a little like rough-textured shoestring potatoes made from a Frito-like corn product — and provides a good balance of chili and spice. Those gnarled puffs of corn are classic, but sometimes the best things come from innovation and new iterations. Flamin’ Hot Cheetos might be the standard but the Puffs are a substantial improvement over the original. Like the final “Game of Thrones” season, Flamin’ Hot Fritos are coasting on reputation, and seem a little meandering and pointless.

But there is one thing from that era that still follows you around, a shameful secret that you’re hiding from your new, “adult” friends, maybe even an intimate partner. Far from it for me, a Thai girl with a spice tolerance on the higher end of the spectrum, but I’ll admit that they do have enough heat to be enjoyable without being overpowering or unpleasant. The subtle heat pairs nicely with Fritos’ corn chip which is encrusted with black pepper, and the flavors don’t stick around on the tongue in an unappetizing way.

The presence or absence of pork in Funyuns depends mainly on the sources of MSG and natural flavors. When you get tired of playing with your Funyuns, you can use them as a stand-in for breadcrumbs when making fried foods or crunchy casserole toppings, or use them in place of those fried onion thingies that only ever seem to top the polarizing Thanksgiving green bean casserole. They’re also incredibly satisfying — you can have six or seven puffs and satiate your Flamin’ Hot cravings easily. I was hoping with all the ridges Ruffles have, as they like to remind us, that this variation would pack a lot more heat. Despite the diversity of Flamin’ Hot products available today, including bags of popcorn and rings of Funyun, not all Flamin’ Hot snacks are created equal.

The flavors are almost the same—bright, sour, salty, spicy—but the Flamin’ Hot Limon Doritos certainly taste the slightest bit cheesier and have the appealing snap of a typical tortilla chip. Now I know they are halal and it’s good news because everyone knows how good they taste, like my wife and son who don’t eat pork.I have compiled every spicy snack known to mankind, save for the ones that I could not find, deem unworthy of inclusion, or both. Neither packs much of a punch heatwise, but I find Tapatío to be garlickier, saltier and tangier than its cousin. I don’t understand how they came to be this big “thing” that everyone brags about liking to the point where there was literal merch for Hot Cheetos. If you want the spiciest Flamin’ Hot you can handle, you’ve found it in this crinkly bag—but if you’re a real spice enthusiast, these may be too gentle.

To help you navigate that, I bought up as many Flamin’ Hot products I could find to tell you which of them are worth eating which aren’t. Final ruling: The Takis family of products are superior if you’re really looking for something sour to suck on.If you must purchase these, I recommend sucking the flavor off, then discarding the actual Cheetos — a proven way to spare yourself the extra calories. Many Muslims believe that many ingredients are harmful to the health of the Funyuns so they should be avoided when eating it. I do, however, appreciate the way Takis could help solve our plastic problem by doubling as a single-use straw while making everything taste like a michelada as an added benefit. Frito-Lay has not considered what precise spicy flavorings would work well on a Frito, and if those might differ from what would work on cheddar popcorn. Enriched Corn Meal (Corn Meal, Ferrous Sulfate, Niacin, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Corn, and/or Canola Oil), and Less than 2% of the Following: Salt, Corn Starch, Sugar, Corn Flour, Buttermilk Powder, Maltodextrin (Made from Corn), Onion Powder, Monosodium Glutamate, Hydrolyzed Corn Protein, Dextrose, Garlic Powder, Natural Flavors (Including Natural Onion Flavor), and Gum Arabic.
