cheetos is back in the game people flame and hot cheetos are about more than just heat and orange
fingers so here are 10 facts you may not have known about flaming hot cheetos i'm anita minute
from janitor to executive vp i revolutionized how you see corporate america today richard
montagnes was once a janitor working at a cheetos factory where the assembly line malfunctioned
because of this montagnes ended up taking home a large quantity of cheetos that weren't fit for
sale inspired by his mexican heritage he sought to mimic an ilote by adding chili powder to the
normally cheesy treat he shared his new take on the snack with a few of his close friends and
relatives all of whom were immediately addicted to his take on the already famous brand of chips
dangerously cheesy despite not knowing much english he decided to push forward inspired by
the love his food had received from those near to him he purchased a three dollar tie all he could
afford at the time and borrowed books from the library to bolster his knowledge of both english
and marketing after a period of preparation he brought his idea to the frito-lay board they
immediately fell in love with the newfangled snack just like his friends and family and
soon after he became an executive vice president in the company unorthodox combinations cheetos
flavor on the outside creamy mac and cheese on the inside perhaps inspired by the combining of foods
that bursts the flame and hot cheetos we know and love others have sought to find creative ways to
mix this amazing snack with foods that may or may not seem compatible with this spicy snack
one such combination that seems odd at first glance is the sprinkling of flamin hot cheeto
dust on mac and cheese while many would be quick to defend the purity of mac and cheese
the immediate retrospection brought about by tasting this amazing combo is enough to
make anyone reconsider other mac and cheese yeah they're all the same in fact if you take a second
to think about it this wonderful mashup makes more sense than it seems given the history of the snack
if the origins of our favorite treat started with someone adding chili powder to an already cheesy
snack why not try adding the cheesy snack to a cheesy meal the resulting burst of cheesy flavor
coated by a tingly burn of spice afterwards is enough to convert any would-be doubters more
amazing combinations have been thought of over time but haven't been as immediately accepted and
are slightly controversial nonetheless these experiments and flavor combinations from hot
cheeto pancakes to hot cheeto mozzarella sticks all go to show that there's still plenty of new
flavors out there that we have yet to explore flamin hot cheetos on the auction block did you
steal my cheetos again as ridiculous as it sounds flamin hot cheetos as well as other snacks have a
history of selling for incredible sums of money in this case one lucky man while enjoying a bag
of flamin hot cheetos stumbled upon one that he believed strongly resembled arnold schwarzenegger
beloved actor and former governor of california he kept this schwarzenegger cheeto for a while
eventually deciding to list it on ebay as a collector's item look it's a beluga whale perhaps
someone shared his vision or perhaps they just wanted to be funny we may never know nonetheless
this cheeto eventually ended up selling for a staggering ten thousand dollars this garnered
a laugh from arnold after he was informed about the astounding valuation of his flamin hot cheeto
likeness if you think that's crazy though what if we were to tell you that this isn't the only
flamin hot cheeto to be sought after by collectors strangely enough one that many saw to be shaped
similarly to harambe an internationally known gorilla received bids for up to a hundred thousand
dollars on ebay the seller however actually decided not to sell for some reason instead
backing out at the last second maybe he saw even greater value in his harambee cheeto despite the
fact that many would have happily cashed out on this opportunity could they be addictive
addictive eh while there is plenty of debate about the healthiness of flamin hot cheetos this happens
with pretty much every snack and quite frankly good flavor is always worth it however one unique
debate related to flamin hot cheetos is their potential to be addictive in a similar capacity
to many mild opiates indeed investigations by some medical professionals have yielded
these conclusions however it's not necessarily the fault of the cheetos themselves rather the burning
sensation from the peppers in flamin hot cheetos is likely responsible for this phenomenon meaning
the addictive sensation could be replicated by other spices as well i love spicy stuff too guy
probably more than you do this sensation causes the release of certain natural opioids known as
endorphins these serve to make us feel happy until their effect is over at which point scientists
theorize we want to eat more in order to trigger the release of more endorphins however there's no
reason to fear endorphins are naturally produced by the body and their release can be triggered by
a variety of activities so while these results may suggest some possibility of addiction
flamin hot cheetos are likely no more addictive than weightlifting jogging or even a gratifying
hug from a loved one activities that have all been studied to trigger the release of endorphins
fashionable chips we got the hat we're gonna have some socks here if there were ever any question
about the legacy of flamin hot cheetos and their popularity in contemporary culture one has to look
no further than the fact that forever 21 actually released an entire fashion line based on the snack
and these clothing items weren't subtle about what they were referencing either with one dress
featuring the exact image from the front of the chip bags why is there a leopard on the cheetos
bag other items included leopard print accessories flamin hot cheeto hoop earrings and a variety of
cheeto related necklaces while forever 21 may have ended up shutting down in 2019 these items
alongside other cheeto based collectibles remain available to purchase online through resellers
such as ebay the fact that a brand of chips was able to receive an entire fashion line dedicated
to it just goes to show the incredible impact that this treat has had on our society culture
and lives as a whole dedicated restaurants that looks delicious well you may have found it pretty
easy to believe that these famous snacks have been incorporated into a variety of different foods
you might be surprised that cheetos actually opened up an entire restaurant in 2016 dedicated
to such hybrid dishes the restaurant even featured celebrity chef ann burrell heading up the kitchen
now obviously this was not the first restaurant to serve hybrid dishes involving flamin hot cheetos
however it was different rather than being combined with fast food or other junk food
this restaurant sought to bring cheetos into the realm of sophisticated high-end cuisine really
didn't want this thing to be a gimmick where it's just like food that's thrown together and cheetos
thrown on top this restaurant was so successful in fact that in 2018 they decided to open an
even higher end cheetos-based restaurant where popular chef roy choi was in charge of the menu
here we saw flamin hot cheetos combined with food such as rib eye steaks creating amazing new flavor
profiles that were widely popular amongst a variety of other dishes chef choi also made
sure to pay homage to the origins of the snack by creating a flamin hot cheetos ilote that was
extremely popular heck there might not be anything that flamin hot cheetos can't be
combined with to produce an amazing taste with people even applauding the flamin hot
cheeto chocolate milkshake as ridiculous as that sounds as time has passed and with many
seen how successful hot cheeto based hybrid foods can be they have slowly become part
of more menus ranging from fast food to high end establishments one of the few remaining mysteries
ah check please in a world where almost any question can be answered by using google
there are still mysteries that serve to confuse and intrigue one such mystery is about the actual
composition of the flavoring dust used on flamin hot cheetos while we have obviously heard that the
invention of the snack involved the use of chili powder the formula has been tweaked over time
such that its contemporary composition remains a mystery the ingredients officially list capsaicin
and chili powder but the company has maintained that these specific proportions and recipe are not
known to the public and will hopefully never be in order to protect the secrets behind the snack
how can we make more krabby patties without the secret formula this however hasn't stopped many
people from attempting to recreate the famous flavoring of the snack this can be seen in the
variety of attempts trying to solve the mystery particularly with chefs on youtube engaging in
their own recreations of the amazing flavor dust nonetheless while some claim to be successful
many disagree including the same youtubers who often claim that their proposed recipe do not
provide the same flavor as a store-bought bag of flamin hot cheetos serving sizes more like serving
suggestions it's just a huge huge huge huge one of the most infamous complaints about most brands
of chips is that the bags feel like they are half full with the other half simply being filled with
air however in the case of flaming hot cheetos this appears to be another area where they have
gone above and beyond ensuring they are at the top of their game let's test it some studies
have shown that the cheetos bags actually contain more chips than the serving size would suggest
and that's something that should definitely have fans cheering according to the nutrition facts the
bag should only have a total of 189 chips however it has been found that there are approximately
237 chips in a bag a whopping 20 bonus over what should be expected a whole cheetos movie
i'm so excited for you guys to see this film because everybody's gonna love it apparently
hollywood executives and film producers were also deeply impressed by the history behind the spicy
treat they were so impressed in fact that they started planning a movie detailing the story eva
longoria the famous actress from desperate housewives decided to take up the mantle of
directing the movie the production of the film was actually recently concluded in 2021 although
a specific release date for public consumption has yet to be announced no details despite some
secrecy surrounding the entire production process they have released a list of actors participating
in the film and there are definitely some big names involved most notably emmy award recipient
tony shalhoub additionally we do know that much of the story will be centered around the life and
experiences of richard montagnes which makes sense given how his story could be considered
deeply inspirational regardless of whether they focus on his astounding move from a
janitor and high school dropout to executive vice president of a multi-billion dollar corporation
or on the evolution of flamin hot cheetos as a whole we know that longoria will ultimately
deliver a film that deeply appeals to the almost cult-like fan base of the spicy chips
the cheetos museum it's all about clarity of shape and depth of color there has been an entire museum
dedicated to the preservation and expression of the fascinating past of flamin hot cheetos cheetos
decided to collaborate with the ripley's believe it or not museum to create the infinity hall of
cheetos a bold name for an exhibit essentially containing different cheetos that people believed
resembled objects or celebrities unfortunately the pop-up museum has since been shut down however the
legacy of flamin hot cheetos has been cemented throughout our culture and is in fact still
alive in the ripley auditorium albeit to a much smaller degree what was once an entire exhibit has
been reduced to a singular cheeto still housed in the auditorium only one could be the best
nonetheless this still serves as a beautiful reminder of the extent of the influence of flamin
hot cheetos which will likely only continue to expand given how amazing they are we've got more
