[Frito-Lay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dill-pickle-hot-cheetos) drew inspiration from the well-known Flamin' Hot Cheetos taste to create their newest hybrid potato chip. The 'Flamin' Hot Tangy Chili Fusion' flavor of Cheetos combines the tangs of chili peppers, garlic, ginger, and citrus to provide a hot, complex, yet enticing flavor. On January 16, it will debut across U.S. shops in three sizes: 8.5oz, 3.25oz, and 1.0oz.

A large bag of Cheetos Flamin' Hot Tangy Chili Fusion ranges from $5.19 to $0.50 for an 8.5oz, 3.25oz, and 1.0oz, respectively. Frito-Lay has recently made available a tool for users to make [Cheetle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-pretzel-bites), also known as Cheetos Dust, in late November.
