If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, who are you going to call? Chester Cheetah!
(We will do a workshop on this.)
In the annals of popular culture, there has never been a crossover quite like this: the meeting between America’s favorite ghost incarceration service and America’s favorite wildcat, who enjoys the taste of cornmeal enriched with ferrous sulfate, niacin, corn mononitrate thiamine, riboflavin and folic acid. (Have you ever read the ingredient list on the back of a bag of Cheetos? Yikes!)
That’s right. Just in time for the new Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire film, now there are Ghostbuster Cheetos brand. This is no longer the cheese that stays crispy; It’s the cheese that goes “Boo!”
(We’ll do a workshop on this too. There’s a reason I didn’t major in marketing.)
These are officially called “Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Smoky Ghost Pepper Flavored Puffs”. It’s because for some reason I eat any and all food inspired by movies I can get my hands on it, I tried.

As you can see, the Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Smoky Ghost Pepper Flavored Puffs bag (say that five times fast) is adorned with a large illustration of Chester Cheetah dressed as a Ghostbuster – because really, what makes you hungrier than the image of a cat wearing human clothes while drenched in slime?
As for the flavor, well, you can watch my full reaction to smelling and tasting Ghostbusters Cheetos for the first time below.
Final thoughts:
Did you see the part of the video where I almost choked to death on Ghostbusters Cheetos and became a ghost (or at least a ghost pepper)? Make sure you don’t miss out!
If you like spicy foods It is you like Cheetos (which probably describes a good amount of people, since Cheetos offers a standard Flamin’ Hot variety that is so popular inspired its own Eva Longoria film), this could be your path. It’ll probably help if you like barbecue chips, as the “smoky” aspect of Ghostbusters Cheetos definitely evokes a barbecue-flavored Lay’s.
One thing that might not be clear from the video, because it really only happened after I stopped recording: these things made me sweat more than the mayor of New York when Peter Venkman walked into his office. After a few puffs, the spice quickly builds up in the mouth. So that’s something to keep in mind.
As for the linked aspect of these Cheetos, using ghost peppers (or at least ghost pepper “flavor”) in a Ghostbuster products It’s a nice touch. However, it should be noted that spicy food is not necessarily the best option for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire specifically, since this is a movie about a ghost who freezes people to death while ghost peppers do the opposite in your mouth. On the other hand, if Frito-Lay had introduced a mentholated Cheetos product to simulate the cold atmosphere of Frozen EmpireI would have to file a lawsuit with the US Food and Drug Administration.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire opens in theaters on March 22. You can find Cheetos Ghostbusters Flamin’ Hot Smoky Ghost Pepper (Flavored) wherever the horribly spicy snacks are sold. I can’t imagine this having the cultural impact of an Ecto Cooler, but I imagine they will have their fans. As for me, I’m about to strap on my proton backpack and take my Ecto-1 to the grocery store. I hear there is now Ghostbuster Rice Krispies also treats.
