habanero CHEE-TOS

[MizzouRah]

I love you!

[terpkristin]

Are they new? I've never heard of them.

/tk

[B & B]

TGIF used to make some potato skins (snack chips in the grocery store) that were also habanero but they were quickly discontinued. So delicious.

I tried one of the other flavors and they were terrible, but the heat on the habs was perfect, couldnt stop eating them.

My advice = enjoy them cheetos while you can because it might not be for very long.

[MizzouRah]

Are they new? I've never heard of them.

/tk

Yes.. grabbed a bag at Quick Trip yesterday and can't find them close to home, so I'm going to make a run today and clean them out! :lol:

[JeeberD]

I read the thread title as Habanero Cheerios, and as much as I love spicy food, I was disgusted...

[MizzouRah]

Now THAT would be interesting!

:lol:

[Dodgerchick]

I've had flaming hot, but not habaneros.

[Crapshoot]

ditto. That's exactly what I thought!

[MizzouRah]

They are a tad hotter..

[stevew]

I read the thread title as Habanero Cheerios, and as much as I love spicy food, I was disgusted...

So did I.

[MizzouRah]

Ok you knuckleheads.. I changed it to CHEE-TOS!

[M GO BLUE!!!]

pics pls

[B & B]

I have a feeling that most ppl that read cheetos as cheerios are breeders who have had little F-trophies running around the house recently.

[RainMaker]

Let me know when they are as good as these.

Habanero Cheetos would do Andy Capps in his....

[CrimsonFox]

I love you!

if they are even half as good as Habenero doritos I MUST HAVE THEM NOW!

[CrimsonFox]

Sadly, the local grocery store did not have them. SO I got the flaming hot limon flavor. So yummy.

I haven't seen the Doritos version yet. :eek:

[MizzouRah]

Sadly, the local grocery store did not have them. SO I got the flaming hot limon flavor. So yummy.

This post just made me think of corn nuts chille picante.. heads off to store... :)

[Cuckoo]

I haven't seen the Doritos version yet. :eek:

Habanero Doritos were out for a long time but discontinued a couple of years ago. They were, without a doubt, my favorite chip. I think we had a Doritos thread where we discussed this one and some others. My feelings of anger and disappointment over them pulling this flavor were profound.

HOWEVER, apparently they released them as a limited time thing just before the Super Bowl. I didn't know about it until a week or so ago when I saw the little bags in a convenience store. I bought all they had (9 bags). :D

[Izulde]

This thread is making me hungry for Doritos and Cheetos. Especially Spicy Taco Doritos.

[MrDNA]

I don't like really any snack food, but living in Mexico made me fall in love with spicy Cheetos. I'm heading to the grocery store today and if I see this MFers they're getting eaten.

They were out of them at the QT!!! NOOOOOOO!!!! :banghead:

[Chief Rum]

It's a QUEST then!

[MizzouRah]

picture please of the Habanero Chee-Tos

I'm going hunting for them tomorrow!

:lol:

Give me those!

[MrBug708]

Found them at Ralphs today for $2 I think. My gf loves them

[MizzouRah]

I'm going to pack some for Florida. :)

[Abe Sargent]

They are in the vending machine in the hallway across from my doorway, about two yards away.

[Abe Sargent]

They do have a nice kick to em, but I still prefer good ol generic cheesy ones. They still have a bit of a cheese flavor, but not as much with the focus definately on the hot side.

[MizzouRah]

Boooooo Abe!

[Bad-example]

The Habanero Cheetos are undoubtedly too hot for me.

Jalapeno Cheetos, however, are pure perfection.

[Abe Sargent]

Boooooo Abe!

Because I just prefer the cheesy ones or because I have my own stash right across the hallway from my apartment door?

[MizzouRah]

Because I just prefer the cheesy ones or because I have my own stash right across the hallway from my apartment door?

Both! :D

[Passacaglia]

They have Strawberry Cheetos in Japan? That sounds awesome!

[Passacaglia]

So are these the same as Cheddar Jalapeno Cheetos? I was walking past the vending machine in my office just now, and someone was loading it, which reminded me to look for Habanero Cheetos. The guy asked what I was looking for, and I told him. He said he had them -- then he said they were jalapeno. And he gave me a bag, and said don't worry about it. So that was cool!

[Passacaglia]

Oh neverm ind -- post 18 tells me they are different. Hmm. Are jalapeno and habanero that different that they need separate flavors of Cheetos for them?

[terpkristin]

Darn, I went out to try to find them and only found the jalapeno. Obviously, I must try different grocery stores this weekend.

Pass....habaneros are much spicier, so in theory, yes, some people want it hot....er, hotter. ;)

/tk

[CrimsonFox]

Oh neverm ind -- post 18 tells me they are different. Hmm. Are jalapeno and habanero that different that they need separate flavors of Cheetos for them?


yes. Jalapeno tastes like jalapeno. Habanero tastes like habanero. Hope that helps :D

[CrimsonFox]

My Cheeto quest has failed. Went two 2 more grocery stores and 4 convenient stores and found no habenero cheetos at all :(

I found minibags of Habanero DOritos in a 7-11 though. Gobbled up 3 of em
mmmmmmmmmmmm

[Dodgerchick]

Goddamn, these are spicy. I think the roof of my mouth is numb.

[Dodgerchick]

Probably not a good idea to munch on these at 1:40am now I'm wide awake.

[MizzouRah]

:) Dodgerchick

[terpkristin]

I went to every major grocery store in my area to find them, to no avail (Wegmans, Harris Teeter, Giant, Safeway, Bloom). Didn't go to Super Wal-Mart or Super Target, but I think they haven't been rolled out this way yet...

/tk

[Dodgerchick]

PAWS OFF MY HABANERO CHEETOS!!!11!

[MizzouRah]

I can't find them in Florida.. but I'm still looking!

Way to go Dodgerchick!

[CrimsonFox]

Okay I finally found small bags in a 7-11. Good stuff. Not as hot as the Habenero doritos tho.

For those not finding them in grocery stores, try 7-11s and you'll probably only find the small 99 cent bags, not big bags like i did

[Izulde]

I went looking for these the other day but couldn't find them. Got a small bag of regular Chee-tos instead.

[vex]

Must. Find.

[MizzouRah]

So the cheeto lady at my wife's work says they must have been a special promotion because she can't get them.. well... well... f you!

:)

[Passacaglia]

I still haven't found them, but I did try some xxtra flamin' hot crunchy cheetos, and they are kicking my ass. I've gone through a 20 oz. bottle of water and I've only eaten half the bag. Does this mean I should not bother with the habanero?

[vex]

Haven't found them either but the jalepeno ones are awesome as well.

I think the flamin hot ones are hotter than the habenero ones. But the Habenero doritos are hottest of all. Get THOSE! :)
:devil:

[MrBug708]

They were 2 for $4 at Ralph's yesterday

[MizzouRah]

Move over habenero cheetos.. there is a new king in town....

drum rol.................

1st degree burn, 2nd degree burn, and yes.. 3rd degree burn Doritios!!!

I tried the 2nd degree burn Doritios last night and baby.. they were HOT! The 3rd degree were all sold out, but they are next on my list!!!

Oh baby.. I'm ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cuckoo]

My likey...

[stevew]

I like how they made the cool lime Pepsi Max to act as an accessory to the Doritos.

[k0ruptr]

the bag looks cool. err hot. err whatever

[CrimsonFox]

Today was productive. I cleaned out the 7-11 of:

1447

[Emmett13]

I forgot they had those Cheeto's X's and O's.

What a goof ass idea.

[MizzouRah]

Good job Crimson Fox!

[Cuckoo]

Found some Habanero Cheetos and gave them a try, but it was just a little too strange for me. I guess I just have it ingrained in me that the specific texture only belongs with cheese.

I sadly finished off my last small bag of the Habanero Doritos that I found a few weeks ago and haven't been able to find the 3rd Degree Burn.

[RainMaker]

Just picked up Doritos 2nd Degree Burn Fiery Buffalo. Kind of weird but decent. Have a feeling the 2nd degree burn will be my ass later today though.

[MizzouRah]

I just finished a bag of 2nd degree burn.. I love the taste of them!

If only I could find a bag of 3rd degree burn!!!

[MizzouRah]

Hey CF, those flamin hot fries are quite delicious too!

[CrimsonFox]

Hey CF, those flamin hot fries are quite delicious too!

yes they are! *munch munch*

[Dodgerchick]

Went to the gas station and got Fiery Habanero Doritos and they were great! Not as spicy as the Habanero Cheetos but really good. Then we ate the Jalapeño Cheetos and they were tasteless, probably because our tongues were numb from the Doritos. They had a sign for the 1st 2nd and 3rd degree Doritos so of course I asked about em and they sold out. I asked if they were getting another shipment and they said twice next week... guess I'm goin' back :)

[MizzouRah]

Yeah, the 1-3 degree Doritos have been hard to come by!

1st is good.. 2nd is really good... need to try the 3rd degree!

[CU Tiger]

2nd degree is awesome..... havent found 3rd degree yet.

Did pick up a bag of buffalo wing and ranch doritos, but havent had a chance to try

[Izulde]

Went to the gas station the other day to get some more 1st Degree Burn Doritos, but they were out.

Honestly, I think I'm good with 1st Degree Burn. They're plenty hot enough for me (I don't normally like food that hot/spicy) and they're damned tasty.

...But knowing me, I'll try 2nd and 3rd Degree just to say I've done it.

[Izulde]

I like how they made the cool lime Pepsi Max to act as an accessory to the Doritos.

I picked up a 2 liter of this stuff the other day specifically to pair with the burn Doritos. I'm gonna hang on to it until I find some more Doritos somewhere.

[Cuckoo]

I finally found the 3rd Degree Burn and also bought a bag of the 1st Degree Burn to try them. They're pretty hot actually and are very good if you like jalapeno chips. The 3rd Degree Burn are an OUTSTANDING replacement for the Fiery Habanero, quite similar, so I hope they get a wider release because the groceries around here still don't carry them. You have to find them at convenience stores and gas stations in the little bags.

[Dodgerchick]

OMFGWTF, I can't feel my mouth. Went back to the gas station and they had 1st and 2nd degree so I got 1 bag of 1st degree, and 2 bags of 2nd degree (I knew these would be a hit in our household). Tried 1st degree and my first instinct was to cough. You can feel the spiciness right away. They didn't really taste like Doritos though, they tasted more like corn. So I tried 2nd degree... holy fuck! I felt it right away. But man, they were so flavorful. Ant and I split 1 of the bags and our 5 year old ate 1 whole bag (!!!!!). My nose was a little runny and my eyes got a tad watery, but Jesus, they're fucking fantastic. I went back to the gas station and wiped them out of 2nd degree. I asked if they could order some 3rd degree and they said yes. Just in case they forget, I went to Walgreens to see if they had any and sure enough, they didn't. I asked to speak to a store manager and requested that they order 'em. He said the chip guy will be there tomorrow and he'll ask him... yay!

So there you go, I go to 2 places and request to special order these... I gotta have 'em! To cover my bases I'm gonna go to CVS and if they don't have 'em, I'm gonna ask to speak to their Store Manager so he/she can talk to their chip guy.

Oh, and I had to down 2 glasses of milk to extinguish the flames in my mouth. An hour and a half later and I can still feel it. You know how your mouth feels after eating Cap'n Crunch? Stuff shreds your mouth... well, it's pretty close to how my mouth feels but with a tingle in it. Even then, I can't wait to try 3rd degree!

[CrimsonFox]

GREAT STORY! THANKS! :)

[Izulde]

Man I can't wait to try 2nd Degree Burn, as I thought 1st Degree was pretty good.

I've gotten hooked on the much easier to find Spicy Nacho.

[MizzouRah]

DC,

I love the taste of the 2nd degree burn Doritos.. my oldest daughter finally tried them and was like, "these are soooo hot, yet soooo good".

:)

[MizzouRah]

Whoa! Your taste buds might, but your butthole won't!!!

[Dodgerchick]

dola,

went back to gas station #1 and they only had 1st degree. I asked where the 3rd degree ones were and the guy laughed and said the Chip Guy hadn't made his rounds.

Ya think they remember me by now? ;)

[Izulde]

I haven't tried the 1st Degree + Lime Pepsi Max yet, but I think my mouth is getting acclimated to 1st Degree Burn. I'm now at the point where I can pretty much polish off a small bag without pausing.

[MizzouRah]

Whoa! Your taste buds might, but your butthole won't!!!

Hmm... see now I'm gonna want a Lime Pepsi Max, that sounds great! I picked up a 24 oz beer bottle and was tempted to get Bud Lime.. I think? It's the beer with lime in it. Anything spicy and lime is a great combo.

[JediKooter]

Alrighty. Just had a bag of the 1st degree Doritos...Not too bad, I liked the jalapeno taste to the chips. On a hotness scale of 1 - 10, I'd give them a 4.

[samifan24]

So are these not available in grocery stores?

[JediKooter]

Found them at 7-11. Don't know if they are in grocery stores here though.

[Dodgerchick]

So are these not available in grocery stores?

sami, i haven't seen them at grocery stores. the best bet would be gas stations. at least that's where i found mine. you can always hound them to death like i have :)

[Dodgerchick]

Hey Mizzourah, here's my match made in heaven. Well, not quite, if I had 3rd degree, then yeah. Gotta work with whatcha have right?

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc59/Dodgerchick74/matchmadeinheaven.jpg

[samifan24]

I only found the 1st degree chips at my local gas station. They're hot but I want to try 2nd and 3rd degree. Hope I can find them somewhere. Is there a chain of convenience stores or gas stations when you guys are having luck finding them?

[Dodgerchick]

The gas station I usually go to is one of those smaller ones (____ Mart). Valero is my go-to gas station #2.

[MizzouRah]

DG - I'll take that combo too!

I still have not been able to find 3rd degree burn, but I have 8 bags of 2nd degree in my pantry. :)

[samifan24]

Are they only available in the little bags?

[Dodgerchick]

I've only seen them in the 99¢ packages (2 1/8 oz).

I went to Walgreens to follow up with the Store Manager and he said that the chip guy said he hasn't gotten a shipment in a while and that it might have been a one time thing but he's gonna check. I'm thinking he's misinformed... at least, I hope he is.

[JediKooter]

Had a bag of the 2nd degree and they were no more spicy than the 1st degree ones to me.

[MizzouRah]

Had a bag of the 2nd degree and they were no more spicy than the 1st degree ones to me.

To me, they are - not by alot.. but they have more heat staying power.

[JediKooter]

To me, they are - not by alot.. but they have more heat staying power.

It was weird, I was ready for the spiciness, but, it ended up tasting more like salt and vinegar chips with about the same spicy level as the 1st degree ones. I even ate the bag pretty fast too!

[Izulde]

1st Degree Burn + Lime Pepsi Max is decent, but nothing I'd rush right out and get again. On the other hand, the lime Pepsi Max has a pleasant taste just by itself.

I've gotten tired of 1st Degree Burn, by the way. The last couple bags I've noticed a *very* strong cream flavor which I don't especially care for, so I told my mom, who's been looking, that the 3 bags of 1st Degree Burn she found are fine.

But I have other news to report!

When I went to my usual gas station just now, they had *3* bags of 2nd Degree Burn, the first time I've seen 2DB live and in person! Naturally, I snatched all three bags up.

Haven't tried them yet, but will soon.

[Dodgerchick]

Yeah! Can't wait to hear how it goes :)

I went back to gas station #2 and they only had 1st degree. The 2 people I spoke with weren't there so I didn't ask. These seem really hard to come by; I might have to write to Frito-Lay and find out what the deal is.

[Izulde]

It was weird, I was ready for the spiciness, but, it ended up tasting more like salt and vinegar chips with about the same spicy level as the 1st degree ones. I even ate the bag pretty fast too!

Confirmed on the salt and vinegar taste.

The vinegar hits first, then the salt.

I think they're a little bit hotter than 1st Degree Burn, but still tolerable.

I won't be buying any more 2nd Degree, because I can't stand the taste of vinegar.

So there's just 3rd Degree left to try.

I went to Target today and didn't see anything there. They had the spicy nacho Doritos, but that was it.

[CrimsonFox]

Mmmmmmmmmm salt and vinegar is yummy!

I can't find 3rd degree burn anywhere. :(

Oh yesssssssssss!!!

[Cuckoo]

Sorry guys... I used the link to find them in my area and just assumed you guys knew about it. Should have posted anyway. I will offer a caution, though. It lies. Sometimes it showed me stores that weren't there and other times it showed me stores that didn't have the chips at all (Clerks even said they didn't carry them).

[Bad-example]

I tried the Wild Habanero Cheetos. It's like there's a party in my mouth and my taste buds just got gang banged.

[terpkristin]

As I posted on Twitter earlier, I was able to find the 99-cent bags of both 1st and 2nd degree burn Doritos at a local 7-Eleven. I had my best friend over for dinner and hanging out tonight, so after our dinner, we each tried one of each chip.

Initial reactions were that the 1st degree had a kick at the end, whereas the 2nd degree was initially hot and sweet, but wasn't bad. We agreed we could probably each eat half a bag of each. She had milk while she was eating hers, I had Sprite Zero (not a big fan of dark sodas in general).

I finished off the 1st degree ones first. What was eminently reasonable in the single-chip experience was something totally different when eating half a bag. ;) I felt like they had a slightly "sour" taste, and I had a little burn in my mouth when I finished them, but all in all, they were alright.

I tackled the 2nd degree ones next. Even in larger quantities, I found them sort of sweet, but the heat on them was much more noticeable. After finishing off that half bag, I finished my can of Sprite Zero and still needed more. So I poured a glass of milk and helped myself to a cornbread muffin (which I'd made earlier to go with the chili we ate for dinner).

All in all, I liked them both, but man does the impact intensify with more than 1 chip. ;) I think I'd eat them again, in single serving portions. I'd probably lean more to the 2nd degree, since even though they were hotter, I found the slightly sour taste with the 1st degree a little off-putting.

/tk

[Dodgerchick]

Mother fuckers, 3rd Degree Doritos not available w/in a 50 mile radius :mad:

I spoke to a couple store managers and they said that the Frito Lay guy said they no longer make 'em. Oh well.

[Dodgerchick]

dola,

i did buy 1st and 2nd degree tho. wiped them out

[stevew]

the frito lay thing always pisses me off cause bbq ruffles are never within a 50 mile radius

[MizzouRah]

I haven't seen a 3rd degree bag within 30 miles.

[samifan24]

I've never seen a bag of 3rd degree but I found the 2nd degree ones and think they're plenty hot. I'd like to try 3rd degree though. Does anyone know if 1st and 2nd degree are staying around if 3rd degree isn't? Are they all just temporary products or now part of the permanent Doritos line?

[stevew]

The only place with 3rd degree around here is in a place i'd never go.

[CrimsonFox]

It happened! I got BIG bags of both habanero doritos AND Habenero cheetos at local grocery stores! Woooooooooo!

[samifan24]

It happened! I got BIG bags of both habanero doritos AND Habenero cheetos at local grocery stores! Woooooooooo!

Are the habanero Doritos different from the 1st/2nd/3rd degree Doritos? If so I don't think I've ever seen a big bag of really hot Doritos in grocery stores near me.

I like the 2nd degree burn ones. Unfortunately I'm on a mission to eat healthy this Summer and lose a few pounds so this thread hurts.

[JediKooter]

I'm beginning to believe that the 3rd Degree Doritos were never made and was a ploy to sell more of the 1st and 2nd Degree Doritos.

[RainMaker]

Has anyone had the Cheeseburger flavored Doritos? They are pretty good too. :)

[MizzouRah]

Cheeseburger? Oh my... need to check those out!

[Izulde]

I like the midnight Taco Doritos.

[stevew]

Tacos at Midnight make me think of the invariable bathroom run at 1am. So I cant eat them.

I thought the cheeseburger ones sucked too.

I know it's probably the missionary position of snacks, but give me regular doritos. I didn't ask for all these flavors.

[CrimsonFox]

LOL I'm just speechless steve at that comparison :)

[MizzouRah]

Today I found...

Mr. Dragon's FireChips - Doritos

Kind of a wasabi tase to them, horseradish with a hint of soy.. not too bad...

I'm seriously scarred by a bad wasabi experience. These I will not try.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I am eating this cheeseburger Doritos shit right now. I feel so vile by eating them, but they really do taste like cheeseburgers.

[JediKooter]

Where the heck are these cheeseburger Doritos?? I haven't seen any out here.

[Pumpy Tudors]

In my hand.

[JediKooter]

In my hand.

Before or after a bowling session?

EWW GROSS

There always next to the Ice, Ice, baby!

[JediKooter]

There always next to the Ice, Ice, baby!

I've tried for 20 years to get that out of my head. Thanks...

[RainMaker]

My only gripe with the Cheeseburger Doritos is they go a little heavy on the mustard flavor. Wouldn't mind some ketchup style ones.

[terpkristin]

Dang it, now I really want some Doritos!

Alas.

/tk

[Danny]

Jalapeño Popper ones are awesome.

[CrimsonFox]

The habenero doritos that I've found are NOT the 3rd degeree ones or whatever. THey are in the same bag they used to be in. Regular dorito bag that's kinda light orange.

[Abe Sargent]

They stocked a ton of these at my local market last week.

[JediKooter]

Look what I just found last night at Safeway...Yes, I bought all 3 kinds.

[Dodgerchick]

$2.49? I hope these were the big bags.

[Cuckoo]

Found a bunch at our Homeland store here. I bought a couple bags a few days ago and have already gone through one...

[Izulde]

Now that we have a confirmed 3rd degree burn sighting per the Kooter, I'm going to redouble my efforts to find them. According to the Frito Lay place, there should be a ton round here.

[MizzouRah]

Well.. what's the verdict? Still haven't been able to find a 3rd degree and find the 1st degree much better than the 2nd degree.

[samifan24]

I like the 3rd degree the best, especially since I think the heat on the 3rd degree tastes the best (2nd degree were too chemically for me). I love that they sell big bags now.

[Dodgerchick]

Goddamit:

We're sorry, this product is not available within in a 50-mile radius. Please enter another zip code.

[JediKooter]

Goddamit:

2.49 was for the big bags. Isn't Frito Lay headquartered in Texas?

[RainMaker]

Not a fan of the 3rd degree and prefer 1st degree too. There are about 10 other types of Doritos it seems at my local 7-11.

Have they jumped the shark yet?

[Dodgerchick]

2.49 was for the big bags. Isn't Frito Lay headquartered in Texas?

Is it? I dunno. It might be a blessing in disguise cuz I'd tear these up... with sour cream. That's the best. You get the spiciness of the chip and the cool creamy texture of the sour cream. Good stuff.

[stevew]

Roasted Corn. The nekkid doritos are great.

[jeff061]

I was amazed to see 1st 2nd and 3rd at a local market. All previous efforts to find these mystical spicy snacks were not successful. Bought one of each.

+1

[RainMaker]

Are they still making the Cheeseburger Doritos?

[JediKooter]

So finally cracked open the bag of 3rd degree...I can only eat about 3 or 4 chips at a time.

[MizzouRah]

We finally have them in Troy!!! (3rd degree baby)

Just opened them up.. not as hot as I expected, but defnitely my favorite of the three - first impressions at least!

[Izulde]

I had a bag of 3rd Degree a couple days ago. My mouth screamed after about five chips. Not sure about the taste just yet.

We are living in the golden age of snacks. Had some smoky BBQ Ruffles extreme chips that were amazing.

Yeah and I'm now over 40 and trying to be healthy damn it ... why couldn't this smorgaboard of deliciousness have come out when I was in my 20's and having problem putting on weight rather than now when I look at food and gain 10 pounds ;)

[Matthean]

I think I'm getting over potato chips as a whole. When I eat them as of late I just wished I had something else.

[Passacaglia]

This is the new shit. So good.

They sounds good, but not reaching-through-flames-to-grab-them good.

[MizzouRah]

To my surprise, what do I find today?

These are hotter than the 3rd degree Doritos imo. Starts out with a lime taste and then goes right into the heat.. yummy!

The Doritos Roulette is a neat gimmick. Maybe 1in 10 chips is a fiery one, but they all look the same. Seems like it would be a fun game to play with kids.

None of them tasted hot to me. They need to be super hot, but to me and my daughter they all tasted the same.

[stevew]

you obviously have no tastebuds left then

[MizzouRah]

HAHA.. there hasn't been any snack chips that I've ever thought was super hot. Hell, hot tamales super hot are hotter than any chip maker can make. :)
