Cheetos Mighty Zingers

Every once in a while, a new product comes along that either looks or sounds absolutely disgusting, but then surprises us in how tasty it actually is.  Is this one of those products?  Well, kind of.  Cheetos are bordering on cult status in that we all know they're unhealthy and exponentially artificial, yet there is still a strong contingent of huge Cheetos fans out there.  Call it nostalgia.  Call it smart, progressive marketing.  Who knows?  But my point is that for some people, this new product might look and sound completely appealing.

For the rest of us, we'd be quite shocked.  But guess what?  They're pretty darn tasty!!  Surprisingly so.  I tried the "Ragin Cajun & Tangy Ranch" flavor and I believe the secret is in the yin/yang, cool/hot combo.  It's perfect.  Two flavors of little Cheetos nuggets in the same bag - the zesty kick of the cajun followed by the calming cool of the ranch.  Your palate thanks you.  Your cheese-dust covered hand still glares at you and says WTF, dude!?  But it's worth it.
