Pepsi-flavored Cheetos now on sale in Japan - Polidicks

[quote=USA Today]Q: What's bright orange and fizzes? A: Pepsi-flavored Cheetos, of course. Huh? No, you can't buy them in the USA — at least, not yet — but the weirdly flavored combo snack is now being sold in Japan, where almost no flavors are too wacky to mix and match. The snacks, which hit shelves in Japan last month, will be sold there only for a limited time, says Frito-Lay spokesman Jeff Dahncke. For the moment, at least, there are no plans to bring the chips to the U.S., he says. But clearly, the world's biggest snack food giant is hip to the international food trend that's spread across supermarket shelves: flavor-mashing. Mixing flavors like Cheetos and Pepsi "speaks to consumers' short attention spans," says Lynn Dornblaser, new products guru at the research firm Mintel. "Consumers all want something absolutely new that's never been seen before." That, after all, may be about the best way to stand out from the estimated 20,000 food and drink products introduced each year in the U.S. alone.[/quote] [url=http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/08/15/pepsi-flavored-cheetos-pepsico-cheetos-snack-foods-flavor-mashing/2661811/?csp=usattumblr]Full Article[/url] A challenger to the Mountain Dew and Doritos throne?

truly u wot m8

i'd try it

Can I mail order some?

It sounds like something I would buy out of curiosity knowing that it would taste awful.

gross

Well, at least it isn't Cheetos-flavoured Pepsi. I can't say I've ever heard of crisps that tasted like cola before; this should at least be interesting if nothing else. If anyone gets the chance to try these Pepsi-flavour Cheetos, do give your impressions on them. [QUOTE=Desuh;41883488]It sounds like something I would buy out of curiosity knowing that it would taste awful.[/QUOTE] Reminds me of this one time I tried a bottle of soda that involved hot spice; I forget what exact kind it was, but I think it might have been some variety of Mountain Dew or Irn Bru. Regardless it wasn't to my tastes.

this reminds me about how frito-lay was trying to come out with locos tacos flavored doritos. I wonder how that went...

Some things shouldnt mix. Pepsi and Cheetos are one of them.

Alright. If this comes to America, I'm down. I'll try.

Needs Mountain Dew™ taste for the ultimate gamer fuel.

I'm suddenly reminded of cheeseburger smoothies.

Now for Mountain Dew flavored Doritos.

And people wonder why no one takes Japan seriously.

I hope they'll still be there in two years when I'm gonna go study there

Won't judge til I try, so as long as it doesn't devour my innards with acid like Pepsi does.

[QUOTE=RikohZX;41883653][img]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-barf.gif[/img] I tried those once. No one in the entire house liked them.[/QUOTE] I also tried them up because I heard they were limited time. They tasted pretty good but If i remember correctly (been over 6 months) They leave an onion/mustard taste.

[QUOTE=jiggu;41883954]I hope they'll still be there in two years when I'm gonna go study there[/QUOTE] are you going to study what compels the japanese to do this?

Why has no one made mountain dew flavored doritos yet? Has this not crossed anyone's mind yet or what?

I've had these they taste like weird cereal with a kinda cereal-cola esque aftertaste (terrible description sorry). They taste like garbage is all.

A bag is like 100 yen(1.15$ roughly) here. Hope you're not too disappointed...

[QUOTE=Liem;41883455]Can I mail order some?[/QUOTE] you could pay 25$ above or pay 3.50 a pack here with like 4-10$ shipping [URL]http://www.jbox.com/product/KNS958[/URL] along with the other flavor mentioned above with the burger for 2.40 [URL]http://www.jbox.com/product/KNS858[/URL]
