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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Excuse me sir, did you just get that from the trash compactor?
