FLAM1s

FLAM1s, also known as Flammin' Hot Cheetos, are a popular brand of puffed cornmeal snacks coated in a spicy, cheese-flavored seasoning. They are produced by Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo. The distinctive red color and fiery taste are achieved through a combination of artificial flavors, spices, and colorings, including paprika and red pepper. FLAM1s were first introduced in the United States in 1992, and their popularity has since spread globally, with variations and localized flavors available in different countries.

The snack's intense flavor profile has made it a cultural phenomenon, inspiring memes, recipes, and even fashion trends. Despite their widespread appeal, the intense spiciness is not for everyone, and some consumers find them too hot to enjoy. The ingredients typically include enriched corn meal, vegetable oil, cheese seasoning, whey, maltodextrin, and various spices. Nutritional information varies slightly depending on the specific product size and formulation, but they are generally considered a high-calorie, high-fat snack with a significant sodium content. FLAM1s are a staple in convenience stores, supermarkets, and vending machines worldwide.
