Absolute garbage. No idea how they could let these out into the wild… unless I got a bad bag? There is almost zero flavor. It's like eating crunchy cardboard that has a weird "zing" or "zest" like someone squeezed a lemon very high up over them and then just dusted them with concentrated capsaicin. I mean the heat was decent for a snack… there was just no flavor. Like a spicy Lacroix Seltzer water lol.

To me they taste just like the original except maybe less spicy. I wish they would just make a “simply” or organic version of flamin hots instead of trying to pass the “baked” version off as healthier.
These are some of my favorite chips, definitely sounds like you got a bad bag or something. They’re very flavorful, less oily than the regular kind, and have a very savory/umami thing going on.
Call me stupid but these are better than original Hot Cheetos but not the XXTRA hot ones
I got a recommendation. Try Herr’s. I can wholeheartedly recommend these 2 as spicy

I dont think anyone eats cheetos for the heat.
Don’t bother anything claiming to be hot with chips.
They recently launched an Extra Flaming Hot range in the UK, that has these (albeit renamed to Wotsits), MAX (ridged crisps, not sure on the US equivalent from Lays) and Doritos. It’s actually got a nice kick.
This has nothing to do with spice, but don’t eat baked Cheetos. I have never had anything get so stuck in my teeth as baked Cheetos. I love almost the whole line of baked lays stuff but no baked Cheetos for me
“Flamin’ Hot (TM)” is trash. It’s an instant turn-off for me. Tastes like chemicals and isn’t pleasantly hot.
You’d have to be baked to mistakenly pick one up
Totally disagree. These are fantastic and I like them more than the normal flamin hots.
We all know they’re not actually hot
I always liked “flamin hot” stuff as a kid growing up, but I never thought it was that spicy. I just liked the flavor
