I put hot sauce on my eggs, extra cayenne and jalapeño brine in my chili, I put jalapeños in pretty much any dish they’re appropriate, get the spicy wings and and red pepper flakes at pizza places, and consume probably an inordinate amount of spicy ramen. I’m no wuss. I even admittedly like the Flaming Hot Lay’s potato chips, but that’s cause they still have to potato chip flavor to them.

Not even a little bit. Jayson Tatum’s mom wouldn’t even buy these. 14. Ruffles Flamin’ Hot Baked Dane Rivera But that would be a mistake, because these have it all: heat, texture, crunch and flavor. As well as an inspiring origin story. Ricardo Montañez, who was working at Frito-Lay as a janitor, approached the CEO with an idea — what if you made spicy Cheetos? Basing it on the elote model of corn, cheese, chili and lime, Montañez began testing the product in stores in East L.A and soon realized he had a hit on his hands. Years and many millions in sales later, Flamin’ Hot products are everywhere and Montañez is a vice president at the company. That’s pretty cool, right? 5) Takis Fuego (tie) Martina Ibanez-Baldor and Kent Nishimura / For The Times) 25) El Sabroso Blazin’ Hot Cheese Crunchies If you prefer a triangle of tortilla to the curly corn of Cheetos, then these are the preferable option over the Flamin’ Hot Limón Cheetos. The flavors are almost the same—bright, sour, salty, spicy—but the Flamin’ Hot Limon Doritos certainly taste the slightest bit cheesier and have the appealing snap of a typical tortilla chip.

Onions are halal as long as the person uses caution while eating it.Alas… I’m just not convinced about this form factor — which is halfway between a chip and a corn puff. They’re a little too soft for my linking and dissolve in the mouth in a mushy way. Fun fact: There’s a market, apparently, for Cheetos that are shaped like things. Take this one, which is shaped like Super Mario, claims the buyer. Or this one, which someone thinks resembles the late gorilla Harambe. The point is, there are some dumb people out there. If you love Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, give the Puffs a try. They’re better! 4. Munchies Flamin’ Hot Dane Rivera I thought Funyuns were haraam. They are so addictive and they taste delicious.

These might as well have been regular Lay’s that were sneakily sprinkled with red dye or paprika. The heat level is so low that one taster said, “they just taste like normal Lay’s with a tiny bit of spice.” The key word here is tiny; if you’re obsessed with that oily, potato-flavor that original Lay’s has and want the most miniscule amount of heat, these are for you. You would think that something with the word 'cool' in its name would imply that this chip actually has a cooling effect, but you'd be wrong. The Flamin' Hot Cool Ranch is one of the newest, spiciest iterations in the Flamin' Hot canon. These dusted tortilla triangles actually gave me a chili-induced coughing fit, and yet I couldn't stop reaching for more.

Overall, I think the balance of heat and lime works better here, the lime flavoring isn’t quite as sour, though that may be because it’s being balanced by powdered cheddar. But Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Limon isn’t just better than Takis Fuego, it’s better than every genuine Flamin’ Hot product on the market.
