Title: Japanese Cheetos suck.
Post by: Ichirou on August 27, 2007, 11:01:16 PM

I bought a bag last weekend, and it tastes like crap.  Tastes almost...sweet, and completely unlike REAL AMERICAN CHEETOS.  Damn, I was disappointed - the last time I had Cheetos was eight months ago when I went home for the holidays and the difference in taste was immediately noticeable.

Japanese Cheetos.  Don't buy them.  :-\

Yeah, I tried Japanese Cheetos, they're really strange. As Konbini-life put it, "they’re dipped in a resinous cheese sauce (see the package), which ends up taking and almost chocolate like texture. The crunch is super satisfying, but the taste doesn’t pack the punch that we all know and love."

American Cheetos are available in Japan, though:

They do taste sweet and are gross. Jagarico on the other hand are absolutely delicious, especially the new tuna-mayo flavour

Hahahaha, that's awesome, a blog all about convenience store foods. :lol

Yeah, man, Japanese Cheetos are SHIT.  Ugh.

I like shrimp-flavored stuff the best around here.

It's fun, it helps me keep an eye out for certain things at our Japanese mega-grocery store.

I admit, whenever I see something weird and unusual at a conbini, I always pick it up just to try it.  Weird sodas, snacks, limited time foods, etc.

I drank every single new thing I found at a conbini or in a vending machine when we were there. EVERYTHING.
