It Could Have Been My Next Addiction: Pepsi-Flavored Cheetos Now Exist

[TexasTowelie]

Pepsi and Cheetos: a match made in snack-food heaven. But what about Pepsi-flavored Cheetos? If that seems like what you'd expect from a country salivating over breakfast waffles, we have some bad news for you: The Frito-Lay flavor does indeed exist as of last month ... in Japan. And the Los Angeles Times got this Cheetos-crushing reply from a PepsiCo rep about the prospect of the flavor hitting US shelves: "The answer is no."

What are we missing out on? A Cheeto that tastes like Pepsi (the cheese powder has been swapped for cola powder) and, more intriguingly, actually fizzes in your mouth, at least according to a review on the Impulsive Buy blog. "Not like crazy Pop Rocks fizzing, but there is some definite popping and crackling," writes the reviewer, who describes the first taste as "very citrusy, almost sour." USA Today notes that the flavor will only be available for a limited time in Japan. (That country was also the lucky one to see this crazy-decadent Wendy's burger.)

1. Japan has a lot of odd snack flavours...

YES they do indeed have a lot of odd everything, but I know from watching a lot of YouTube food review channels that they specifically have a lot of odd snacks.

2. So when do the Twinkie-flavor ones come out?

There are two states of the fifty where weed is legal. Twinkie-flavor Doritos are the ultimate fantasy.

3. Sounds disgusting

There are people here who live in Japan and I'm sure you could get someone to send you some.

Having lived in both Korea and China they have some very odd flavors of potato chips.

8. Liar, liar--you know that you would be digging in if those were the only munchies around.

I'm just kidding with you, of course.

7. Does this have anything to do with Fukushima?
