An Open Letter to Hot Cheetos

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Winthrop chapter.

Dear Hot Cheetos,

Now you must know that I live and breathe for you. You are my ultimate favorite snack. How can you not know? Every time something that has to do with Hot Cheetos is posted, I immediately get tagged in it. True love, right?

You are the absolute perfect thing to munch on. You come in different shapes and sizes, and you have a variety of flavors. You can be cheesy, spicy or even extra spicy! Some people say that I’m obsessed with you and they probably think that because I buy a bag of yours every time that I go to the store …… but obsessed? No. I just love you so much. Whenever I decide to snack on some Cheetos, it’s as if I can’t get enough. You’re not the type of snack that you can munch on a bit, set down, then munch on again later. Once that seal is broken, there’s no going back. You either go big or go home.

You are my favorite creation, my go to snack. I have not come across any other amazing comfort food. You have such a bold personality and I’m sorry that not everyone can appreciate that. But I sure can. You’ve been around since I was in elementary school and I am so grateful for that. Who would’ve thought that my life would change the day that I bought my first bag? Sometimes I can’t help but think that we are meant to be. Snack in crime or partner in crime? You are both. I can be so selfish when it comes to you because after all, who would even want to share their Hot Cheetos? Not me – call me stingy but I just want you all to myself.

You are so unique. You can be mixed with lemon juice and hot sauce or you can even be mixed with nacho cheese! With either creation, you are STILL perfect! How do you do it? You will always leave a mark on me (literally – red stained fingertips) and I will always love you for that. You have been there for me through study dates, binge-watching and road trips. I hope that after reading this you can see just how special you are to me. With that being said, I’m off to buy yet another bag!

With Endless Love,

The #1 Hot Cheetos Fan
