I have a lot of unpopular opinions. I think onions are gross, I can’t stand football and don’t even get me started on condiments. But the one thing I don’t approve that I get the most hate for is my dislike for Hot Cheetos.

I don’t get it! Cheetos are for cheese, the word is basically in the name of the food. I had an old roommate who was literally addicted to the stuff (hey if you’re reading this we should catch up). So I stand before you ready to plead my case against Hot Cheetos.

We can start with the color. If regular Cheetos weren’t bad enough, now you add red power and your fingers might as well just give up on ever being clean again. Plus who wants to eat weirdly colored reddish food.

There’s also no puffy version! And trust me there is nothing better than stuffing your face with those puffy, airy, deliciousness. Also since they’re so puffy you can totally justify eating the whole bag. But the crunchy ones feel like more food and more calories. So take that Hot Cheetos, there isn’t even a good version of you.

And then there’s the taste. Hot Cheetos taste bad. Why on Earth is “hot” a flavor I want in snack food?! It’s just such an odd feeling in my mouth. This weird kick “heat” that just makes me drink water and if I’m trying to be unhealthy water is not what I’m going for.

In conclusion, Hot Cheetos will never be on my grocery list and I’m super not sorry about it.
