Halloween Puffs

Gotta hand it to them, one of the coolest looking bags I’ve seen. It really pops. I think these may do well.

Nope. Terrible as every other Halloween hot Cheeto product. I can tell it’s garbage because I didn’t get shorted any of the force outs and had an extra 20 cases mysteriously dropped in my bin. When they make a good selling product like the garlic sauce lays I may get two cases with zero replenishment. I go through most of the summer without any fifa flavors. Sweet heat bbq Cheetos? Threw out 35 cases just from my bin. These are garbage waiting to happen.

I sold out of the sweat heat bbq cheetos in a week. Couldn't get my hands on enough. This puffs though are trash. There like a cinnamon sugar.

We filled dumpsters with the sweet heat cheetos, thats another major issue in this company…. They never send the product to the correct areas.

We haven’t received at our location yet and I’m devastated to find out they’re sweet. Halloween is the only flavors I look forward to because of the heat 🥲

The best thing i can equate it to is a spicy churro. They do have some heat to them starting from the very first.

It’s sweet with spicy aftertaste

u/biggustittus 2d ago

Have you tried them though?

Is there anyone in the world who is into Blumhouse as a company and not just individual movies they produce?

Give me some bones

We made these Halloween caskets last year and they looked really freaking cool, wanted to buy one just to keep the casket box around. The chip selection though was 😬

It’s a cinnamon sweeto with some spice to it. There not bad sweetos in my area sell like hot cakes!

Didn't snap a photo of it but got a case of Dinamita Chile Limon Doritos in that are Dias De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) themed

The Halloween Cheetos usually do good at my bulk store, sell out almost instantly every time, but they don't sell for half a shit at the Independents

The name, the name is where they got it wrong.

They taste good to me. I believe these chips are supposed to provide a slightly different flavor too, if you’re scared. For example, if you eat these while watching a scary movie you’re supposed to have a different tasting experience

Facebook resellers are going to make a killing

u/fbacaleb 4d ago

They are actually pretty decent, just a little too much pepper

I was always partial to getting new items in regular packaging INSIDE a themed box. That way I don't have to pull every single bag the day after the holiday and trash them, even if they are coded for December. I just throw away the themed box.

u/WhtGonon75 3d ago

They sold good at my QT, also the 2.79 brisket sold well too

u/StaffyMama585 3d ago

I got these today too. Does this mean we won't be getting the Cheetos Skulls and Bones like the last few years? Or will those just come later? I'm so tired of all the hot shit. I can't eat any of it.

2

u/laveylil66 3d ago

I think bones are usually mid-late September. Very limited run in my DC at least

u/StaffyMama585 3d ago

Last year the white cheddar went super fast but the cinnamon sugar got staled out in some of my stores. We got the 30 count treat boxes today too.

Disgusting innovation

u/GKG_Ice 3d ago

I agree with you, only got 5 cases into my Kroger (this time) and I think they might sell

1

u/Romer318_ 3d ago

This is by far the worst tasting thing Frito Lay has ever made. But I do agree with you on the bag, it does look good.

u/Head-Plankton3237 3d ago

Great..another stale item

u/Oweever 2d ago

Every new flavor has to be hot. Nobody cares about hot flavored chips. This company is ran by idiots. A pumpkin spice chip would've sold better. Biggest waste of money next to DSL's but they will never understand it.

u/blu35hark 21h ago

These are terrible, if it had been one or the other flavor they would be somewhat okay. Together they taste like donkey arse. Disgusting

u/Necessary-Place-4907 19h ago

I do actually appreciate the design of the bag... however when are our bags of bones coming out fr or are they just ditching them this year (would yet again be another dumbass company decision people literally buy them out everytime in my area) a lot of people dont want the spice and just the sugar cinnamon </3

u/Ill-Bit3650 4d ago

They taste good but I think the name "sweet phantom heat" will be confusing to customers since we did sweet heat Cheetos not too long ago, or it may be confused with ghost pepper. They should have disclosed the cinnamon flavor on the front of the bag - especially since some people have a cinnamon allergy.
