Fun Facts...

Flamin' Hot Cheetos, a beloved snack, have several fun facts. The idea for the snack was reportedly conceived by a janitor at Frito-Lay. While the details of the invention are debated, it's widely believed that the current Flamin' Hot Cheetos recipe was inspired by Richard Montañez's experimentation with a plain batch of Cheetos. Flamin' Hot Cheetos were introduced in the early 1990s and became a cultural phenomenon.

Global flavors:

Cheetos are produced in 22 countries and come in a variety of flavors, including ketchup in Poland and strawberry in Russia.

It sounds all kinds of wrong, but it tastes so right: Crumbling up 1/3 to 2/3 of a cup of Flamin' Hot Cheetos, mixing them with Panko bread crumbs, and toasting them with melted butter makes for a dangerously addictive upgrade to classic—or, in our case, Pepper Jack—mac and cheese. Sure, it's not an everyday meal, but as a once-in-a-while indulgence, it's pretty incredible.
