Frequently Asked Questions About Xxtra Hot Cheetos
How spicy are Xxtra Hot Cheetos?
Xxtra Hot Cheetos are very spicy, with a heavy seasoning that delivers more heat than regular cheese-flavored Cheetos. If you are not used to hot snacks, try a few pieces first; the lingering burn can build as you eat.
What is the difference between Xxtra Hot Cheetos and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos?

Why do Xxtra Hot Cheetos turn your fingers red?

Can Xxtra Hot Cheetos upset your stomach?

Why are Xxtra Hot Cheetos so spicy?
Xxtra Hot Cheetos get their heat from the strong seasoning coating each crunchy piece. The burn feels different from person to person, and milk or yogurt can soothe it better than water because dairy helps clear spicy compounds from the mouth.
How should you store Xxtra Hot Cheetos after opening?

Are Xxtra Hot Cheetos discontinued?

What is Xxtra Hot Cheetos?
Xxtra Hot Cheetos are a packaged corn snack made from shaped corn dough and coated in vivid red, spicy seasoning. The short, ridged curls are crisp and notably hot, with a strong savoury flavour; they are a boldly seasoned take on the Cheetos-style crunchy snack.
They’re commonly eaten straight from the bag as a casual snack, at parties or while watching a film. Their heat can be balanced with a cool dip, such as plain yoghurt, or paired with a milder sandwich. Nutritionally, they are energy-dense and provide relatively little fibre: 100 g contains 520 calories and 2.5 g of fibre. A small handful can work when you want the flavour without eating a full pack.
