They have a spice to them. I just don’t like the sweet part

They’re not very hot. I liked them.

They’re just a sweet version of the regular flamin’ hot flavor.

They weren’t bad. They aren’t overly sweet imo.

Man. Why they always gotta add in some sweet shit?

Too sweet
Now if I could get the smokey version on these instead of the puffs I would be slightly happier, but even with a nicer flavor those were still a disappointment in the spice department

They’re okay, but I think I prefer the flavor of regular hot cheetos. Wish we could just get the same flavor with more heat.

The smokey ghost pepper ones are much better

Just stick to the Herr’s reaper puffs.

They should just make xxx or xxxx limited versions with different peppers. They would fly off the shelves.

tbh all these new cheetos flamin hot flavors are mid asf except the tangy one.
i tried the ghost pepper one recently and didn’t realize it was a puff which was weird to me. if you like bbq though, you’ll probably like the ghost pepper flavor.

I was disappointed, I don’t care for sweet but gambled that it’s spicier than it is.

I love love love this one. To each their own but it’s worth a shot imo

This kind of thing has got to be false advertising. If they label something with an ingredient, but it’s only there in trace amounts, isn’t the dominant flavor, and doesn’t share the sensory qualities of that ingredient, then it should be considered deceptive.
It’s like salt & pepper chips. The dominant flavors are sugar, torula yeast, and garlic, with just a few speckles of black pepper for interest. It’s all a lie. Actual black pepper chips would be funky, a little fruity, slightly bitter, and have a kind of spikey, short-lived hotness that quickly mellows out into a gentle warmth.
(I’m still really salty about Trader Joe’s ghost pepper chips. That shit barely even prickled. Weak-ass goddamned Jalapeños are substantially hotter. But the label is emblazoned with GHOST PEPPER in a crime drama font, like it’s going to kill me. LIARS!)
