Ever since their first debut in 1990, Cheetos original Flamin' Hots have become a fan-favorite snack across the country. While fans enjoy the puff corn snacks straight out of the packets, they often turn the Flamin' Hot into a secret ingredient for many dishes. Such food experiments and innovations have only grown in the last few years, thanks to the internet and social media.

While enjoying a pack of Flamin' Hots, we came across a similar experiment on the internet - a Flamin' Hot Cheetos Burger.

Cheetos fans have always been experimenting with their favorite puff corn snacks, and while sometimes the results are astonishing, others may still find them a bit disturbing.

First introduced in the United States in 1948, Cheetos is a corn puff snack with a crunchy texture and is made by PepsiCo., a subsidiary of Frito-Lay. Fritos creator Charles Elmer Doolin invented the corn puff snacks in the Frito Company's research and development kitchen in Dallas, Texas. It was introduced to the market under the name Chee-tos, which was changed to its current name in 1998.

The initial success of the Chee-tos played a major role in the merger between The Frito Company and H.W. Lay & Company (1961), thus forming Frito-Lay. By 1965, Frito-Lay became a Pepsi-Cola subsidiary, which also led to the formation of PepsiCo. company.
