Half the bag is a waste.

Like biting into a rock. Waste of money!

Frustrated

AI Highlights
  • - I love Cheetos, but bags have been smaller for months.
  • - They're like nuggets or crumbs, which is irritating.
  • - I may switch brands if this continues.

First off, I want to say I love Cheetos, but the last six months when I have purchased Cheetos, they are very small in size in the bag. They are almost like nuggets or crumbs; it's very irritating.

I don't want to stop buying Cheetos, but I will have to find another brand if this continues.

I don't know why they would mess up a good thing. I'm beyond frustrated!!!

Loss:
$7
Pros:
  • Have the same taste
Cons:
  • Chips are smaller in size i dont like that

Preferred solution: A bag of Cheetos that are not little in size of chips. I want a regular size Cheeto not crumbs

Bugs in Cheetos Mac and Cheese

AI Highlights
  • - Found dead bugs at the bottom of the box after cooking jalapeño mac and cheese.
  • - The box seemed fine before opening.
Bugs in Cheetos Mac and Cheese

We bought a box of the jalapeño mac and cheese, and there seem to be no problems with the box. I opened it, put it in the pot, and started cooking it.

Then I took the packet out of it and set it aside.

Before I went to throw the box out, something told me to check the inside of the box. To my surprise, there were dead bugs at the bottom of the box.

Pros:
  • Tastes good
  • Kids love it
Cons:
  • Overpriced

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Check boxes for any deformities before you buy them.

Delivery guy incident for CHEETOS-VERY RUDE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The Cheetos delivery guy was unprofessional and in my face.
  • - I informed the company and gave details, and I would not buy this product.
Updated by user Jun 26, 2025

I think a representative from the company should make an effort to have this resolved immediately and not ignore it

Original review Jun 11, 2025

The Cheetos delivery guy was very unprofessional, rude, and in my face, representing a company that claims to care for their consumer. How can an employee represent a company like that?

I called the company to inform them and gave all my information. They never got back.

Don't buy this product. They obviously do not care about the consumer.

Pros:
  • Good for snacks
Cons:
  • Too much air in bag

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: NEVER BUY AGAIN

Paying more for less

AI Highlights
  • - The bag was half full and the rest was air.
  • - Most Cheetos were small in size.
  • - Consumers are paying more for less; quality control is needed.

I purchased a bag of cheetos which was only half full other half was all air. Also a majority of the Cheetos were small in size.Consumers are getting ripped off paying more for less Company needs to have better quality control of this product.

User's recommendation: Start providing better quantity and size because consumers are charged more for less due to corporate greed.

Stale cheetoes

AI Highlights
  • - Frequent Cheetos buyer; six party-size bags at Hannaford's in Plattsburgh, NY were all stale, and I seek a remedy to stay loyal.
Cheetos - Stale cheetoes
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

We faithfully buy a bag of Cheetos a day, if not more. Recently we bought six party size bags from our local Hannaford's grocery store in Plattsburgh, NY 12901.

To our surprise, they are all stale and we are extremely dissatisfied. My wife is pregnant and it's all she is craving so as you may well know, she was very upset.

Is there anything you can do to make this unsatisfactory experience better for us, so that we may continue being happy Cheetos customers? Sincerely, Chad Snow.

Loss:
$30
Pros:
  • We love cheetoes when they are fresh and cheesy
Cons:
  • This was a very bad batch they where stale and not as cheesy tasted like cardboard

Preferred solution: Full refund

They did not know this bag existed.. Must be a new hire?

All i simply wanted was a few bags or boxes of Munchies baked snack crackers hot flaming. They were around when I was in middle school and I never saw them again after like 2010.

Is there any way I can get my hands on another bag? If you guys have no clue what I'm talking about is there any way I can send you a picture of said product?

Pros:
  • Tasty nostalgic and quick tasty snack on the go
  • Great flavor
  • Do the right thing
