I brought Cheetos to trivia. It was going to be a Cheeto buffet: Puffs,Cheetos-flavored popcorn (sadly, unavailable), and this new thing: Mexican Street Corn Flavored Cheetos.
I’ve had street corn. I remember it was tasty: corn dampened with a mild cheese sauce, a touch of spice, salt, and maybe a bit of lime. It tasted like 80% corn, 10% cheese, 7% spice / salt, 3% lime.
These Cheetos? 40% corn, 20% spice / salt, 20% cheese, 20% lime. The balance was all wrong. It tasted like cheesy foot acid. Over-salted cheesy foot acid.
I took a bite and advised against it. Then after seeing my face, three people tasted and made, yes, the same face.
And you. You want to try it now. If you do, believe me, you will make the face.

Street corn is to street corn Cheetos as pumpkin pie is to pumpkin pie Poptarts.
Common Household Mom – or as cherry cough syrup is to actual cherries. I didn’t know Pumpkin pie poptarts even existed.
