Puffy or crunchy?<\/p>\n
Blue cheese or Ranch?<\/p>\n
These questions have plagued humankind for\u2026 I don\u2019t know how long, actually. I could probably research that, but I\u2019m not here to do research. I\u2019m here to review Cheetos Crunchy Buffalo.<\/p>\n
Yup, we\u2019ve got Buffalo-flavored Cheetos now – a massive win for the permanent orange-stained finger community.<\/p>\n
At the risk of being shunned from society, I have a confession to make. I don\u2019t worship Buffalo wings like seemingly every other dude on Earth. I like<\/em> \u2019em. They\u2019re fun every now and then, but I don\u2019t inhale trays like you, Tim. I know you\u2019re reading this, Tim.<\/p>\n The reason these appealed to me was not so much the Buffalo flavor but the fact they mixed said flavor with the standard Cheetos-style cheese. Sure, Buffalo and cheese isn\u2019t exactly a novel duo, but Buffalo and that distinct Cheetos taste seemed like an interesting pairing.<\/p>\n My suspicions were spot on because these strike a nice balance between Buffalo sauce (do I need to capitalize Buffalo every time?) and a standard Cheeto.<\/p>\n The cheese acts as a chill pill for the Buffalo flavor, which I find to be a sauce that can easily go off the rails. I\u2019ve tried Buffalo sauces that are so \u201cBuffaloey\u201d that they almost have an off-putting sour finish. You don\u2019t get that here. They\u2019re really good.<\/p>\n I might actually like these more than regular crunchy Cheetos.<\/p>\n I certainly like them more than Flamin\u2019 Hot Cheetos, which I\u2019m on record calling one of the most overrated snacks on Earth. These have a heat to them that probably makes them more similar to the Flamin\u2019 Hot line than the original. On a Buffalo wing sauce scale of \u201cMild to \u2018You\u2019ll Hallucinate Lucifer,\u2019\u201d these check in at around \u201cComfortably Hot.\u201d I\u2019d put the heat level a tick below Flamin\u2019 Hot.<\/p>\n Since you\u2019re wondering, yes, I dipped them in the superior chicken wing sauce, Ranch. It worked. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever dipped Cheetos in anything before, but adding that Ranch cooling factor made me hope for a Buffalo ranch version someday.<\/p>\n I\u2019m pretty impressed. These are Cheetos with a little twist, and dare I say the twist makes them better overall. They were some of the freshest Cheetos I\u2019ve ever had and even lingered with a pleasant spiced corn aftertaste. I don\u2019t know why I dug that, but it was a great capper.<\/p>\n My one complaint was not giving Chester a new, edgy Buffalo buddy. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen a buffalo in Oakleys before. They coulda named him \u201cButchie,\u201d or \u201cBloo Cheez,\u201d or \u201cDude, stop rambling and finish the review already.\u201d I don\u2019t know. Just something to keep in mind for the next bag.<\/p>\n Pick these up for sure. Hopefully, they\u2019re successful, and Frito Lay runs the gamut on Cheetos and sauce pairings. BBQ, Ranch, Sriracha, whatever. Buffalo Cheetos made me think a lot of them would work.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.38 Puffy or crunchy? Blue cheese or Ranch?
