Move To Japan So You Can Eat Strawberry Cheetos

By January 28, 2008

Yes, you read that correctly. Strawberry Cheetos. They’re really Cheetos, and they’re really from Frito Lay, but they are only available in Japan.

Apparently, a “Strawberry Cheeto” is a plain cheeto dipped in some sort of strawberry frosting and is “actually very good,” according to one brave soul who tried them.

There are also Chocolate Cheetos, if you’re into that. They’re probably the perfect snack to wash down with an ice cold Cucumber Pepsi.

    @samurailynn:

    RE: Melon pan (bread)

    It’s not named “melon” bread for its taste, but rather for its appearance. Though there are varieties that taste like melon, the basic melon pan is pretty much “plain”…like vanilla cake in flavor.

    All the weird junk food in Japan is a response to a market that is easily bored. A lot of flavors are fly by night and all manufacturers do this sort of thing. It’s not a rip-off of what Pocky does. It’s what all snack makers do constantly (new flavors, sizes, and variations).

    @Rukasu:

    Pocari Sweat is a cure-all for when you are dehydrated, like 10 times better than Gatorade. They use to sell it in the States in the 80s and we kept a supply on hand, mostly for when we got the flu.

    When you have a fever, it tastes like manna from the gods.

    I yet to be amazed by Japanese snack foods, needless to say I’ve purchased a few boxes of Pocky for decorative purposes because they have cute designs, and then later gave the contests to weeaboo friends. Same thing happened with my Pucca cookies and Shrimp Flavored Chips.

    But oh God, I really want to try the mofuggin’ Kit Kats. Green Tea? Strawberry? Sounds delicious.
