Look out! Chester Cheetah and his mischievous buddy Sparky are unleashing their wild sides again, this time blasting fiery clouds of spicy, neon red Cheetle all over poor, unsuspecting Cool Ranch Doritos. What exactly is fueling this fire? Did the folks at Frito-Lay accidentally make way too much Hot dust and the solution to this abundance is to dump it on everything?<\/p>\n
Okay, I\u2019m a little biased. I enjoy spicy foods but just can\u2019t get behind Flamin\u2019 Hot Cheetos. It isn\u2019t that they\u2019re too hot, but I find whatever the hot stuff is detracts from my enjoyment of the classic Cheetos taste. I acknowledge that I\u2019m in the minority here because Flamin\u2019 Hot Cheetos have a fierce and loyal following, and Frito-Lay knows it. It\u2019s no accident that they\u2019re sprinkling this seasoning on every product they make. More red dye 40 means more sales. Hot is popular and it\u2019s my own fault I\u2019ve never warmed to the concept.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
With probable disappointment in mind, I still couldn\u2019t help but pick up the familiar blue Cool Ranch bag, now featuring its corny triangle engulfed in flames. A peek inside revealed the expected aggressively red powder, and I figured I knew what I was in for. Some of the chips are liberally coated, but others seem almost like regular Cool Ranch Doritos that were spared the dousing of hell pollen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I ate one. Then three more. These chips still taste like Cool Ranch! In fact, Cool Ranch is the first thing I taste and continue to taste, even if my fingers are bright red. I have to eat several of them before the heat starts creeping in, and when it does make its presence known, it doesn\u2019t overwhelm. It\u2019s a pleasant pepper heat, and the ranch flavor never takes a back seat to it. I actually like these. I like them a lot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
How hot are they? I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d call them Flamin\u2019 because I have to eat a lot of these before I even begin to feel the need to reach for a cooling beverage, and they certainly aren\u2019t so hot that I ever need to take a break from eating them. My almost empty bag can attest to that. I think a pretty perfect balance has been struck here. These taste like the chips everyone already loves but pack just slightly more of a punch. I can\u2019t say that I prefer them to regular Cool Ranch Doritos, but I can embrace them in a way I\u2019ve never been able to with Flamin\u2019 Hot editions before.<\/p>\n
Now that this door has been opened, does it mean I should finally make that box of Flamin\u2019 Hot mac and cheese that\u2019s been sitting in my cupboard for a year and a half? If I do, you can be sure I\u2019m going to pour these Dorito crumbs on top.<\/p>\n
