We’ve come full circle: the first article I wrote for Sporked included news that Cheetos was releasing a Flamin’ Hot Cajun Cheddar flavor. So, it feels very fitting that now that they are being spotted at Walmart locations (and I got my hands on a bag), that I should be the one to bring you Sporked’s official review. Did this new Cheetos flavor live up to the high, high expectations we all had? Read on to find out!

I won’t bury the lead, these are far and away one of the best varieties of Cheetos that have been released in a very long time. Round of applause for Chester Cheetah, he’s done it again.
Pros: Y’all. Frito-Lay (maker of Cheetos) is NOT messing around this year. I praised the Flamin’ Hot Mystery Doritos for truly being flavor-blasted—and these Cajun Cheetos deliver on the same level of exceptional “flavor-blasting.” These Cheetos send you through three waves of incredible flavor: First you are hit with the traditional Cheetos cheddar flavor, then you are quickly ushered into a very strong blast of Cajun seasoning, and finally you are hit with a HUGE punch of heat that has me sweating just from eating half of a tiny bag. To put it simply: These are cheesy, they are flavorful, they are spicy, and they are phenomenal.
Cons: I’m not going to say that these new Cheetos are too spicy. Personally, I enjoy the spice level, though some may not. But what I will say is that these Cajun Cheetos are spicy enough that I can’t eat a single-serving 3.25oz bag in one sitting, which is definitely disappointing to me. Is that a me problem? Maybe.
