Puffy Cheetos vs Crunchy Cheetos

[Perfection]

Which is the superior cheese-flavored snack?

Note that I'm not including Flamin' Hot or Jalapeno Cheetos or the other products. Those are fine snack products but I just want to focus on the Crunchy vs. Puffy Cheeto divide.

Thanks a lot. It's 2 am and nothing is open here...

It depends upon my mood. I voted crunchy 'cause that's usually the way I roll

Why would I want to put such poison into my body?

The crunchy ones, though letting the poofy ones dissolve instead of just forcing them down your throat is also quite good.

You're gonna die anyway.

I always though "cheese-doodles" were the crunchy ones and cheetos were the puffy ones... apparently both come in both types... learn something every day... Thanks Perfection

Funny, I always thought the opposite. I wasn't aware that there were puffy Cheetos until I was in college. And for good reason - they suck. Crunchy all the way. You can put them on sandwiches.

Sounds like somebody inhaled

 

[Lexicus]

I prefer puffy cheetos in general

Oh, totes crunchy. Not even a contest. If a puffy one were lying unattended on the ground, free for the taking, I'd regard stooping to pick it up a waste of energy.

In fact, it's the perfect case study on the impact of texture on the enjoyment of food. I can't imagine the active ingredients are significantly different, but oh, the difference of cheeto and cheeto!

That always was the dumbest argument for not being healthy. I don't attempt to a healthy lifestyle for longevity specifically although I'm not eager to die.

I do it so I'm healthy and attractive while I'm alive. When I'm old I don't want to be decrepit, ideally I'd like a strong heart, a sharp mind and a hard dick well into my eighties if possible (if human civilization survives that long). Eating junk food is not furthering that goal (I have enough unhealthy habits without it).

Metalhead, you are a culinary genius!

Metalhead, you are a culinary genius!

I was putting Puffy Cheetos on sandwiches back in the early 70's. I am not sure when they figured out you could make them crunchy. I like crunchy ones on chili, because they stay crunchy instead of melt and disappear. Of course the crunchy ones do not last that much longer, but I am a fast eater.

Both are gross and disgusting.
But the puffy ones are better.

 

[Birdjaguar]

They make crunchy ones?

 

[Valka D'Ur]

They make crunchy ones?

They certainly do. I looked this up online, and around here they're usually just called "cheezies" and there are both puffy and crunchy ones.

Showing up just to say you abstain from something and then harshly judging that behaviour is kinda jerkish. No one buying cheetos thinks they're alternative carrots.

I'm crunchy, oh I'm definitely a crunchy. If there are no crunchy I'll go puffy, but I'll not be satisfied as I would with crunchy. Puffy leaves me feeling empty, another proof that we are what we eat.

As far as the Cheetos brand goes, I like the puffy kind. As for the crunchy type, I prefer Cheezies (I don't think these are sold outside Canada.)

In my experience, these have a much sharper cheese taste than the puffy ones, and they are very crunchy.
