There are pickle-flavored things EVERYWHERE.<\/p>\n
In the same way that the early 2000s brought us bacon-flavored everything, it seems we\u2019re in the middle of a pickle-flavored time period. Perhaps capitalizing on the TikTok trend of dipping a pickle into cream cheese and Flamin\u2019 Hot Cheetos, Frito Lay has recently launched Cheetos Crunchy Flamin\u2019 Hot Dill Pickle.<\/p>\n

Like its original Flamin\u2019 Hot brethren, this snack is an enticing fire engine red color courtesy of Red 40 Lake and Yellow 6 Lake. I was half expecting to see little dill flakes here and there but my eyes didn\u2019t pick up on any.<\/p>\n
Although the bag provided a hefty waft of undeniable pickle scent upon opening, I couldn\u2019t tell from the ingredient list if vinegar or dill were actually added or if they were swept up under the “Natural Flavors” or “Spices” ingredient declarations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
But WHOA, these do taste like pickles. The overwhelming flavor is brine-y vinegar with a lingering dill aftertaste. The heat from the Flamin\u2019 Hot \u201ccheetle\u201d is absolutely in the mix as well. In fact, the vinegar flavor\u2019s acidity and the heat compound on each other, which give these Flamin\u2019 Hot Cheetos another sensory experience from the O.G. Flamin\u2019 Hot. For many minutes after I was done eating, the tingling sensation of the spice hung on to my pallet, along with an intense dill and garlic flavor.<\/p>\n
If I could make any critique at all, it would be that the brine and acidic flavors overpower any cheese flavor or dairy notes from getting through at all. This is a hot, zingy snack. There\u2019s almost no detectable cheese. I\u2019m saying this as someone who prefers the undeniably cheesy Flamin\u2019 Hot Queso Ruffles. But that\u2019s a personal preference.<\/p>\n
Overall, I\u2019d say Cheetos Crunchy Flamin\u2019 Hot Dill Pickle really nailed a cultural moment on the nose. It successfully combined the expectations of Flamin\u2019 Hot with the tang of a dill pickle brine.<\/p>\n
