It's been a while since I tried a new Cheetos, so when my friend Gloria (who has supplied me with many tasty (and some 'not so' tasty treats) that I have reviewed with my 'Timmy Tries' articles, I was excited!

"A new pizza-flavored Cheeto? Hell yeah!" She brought them over to my house, petted my dog Rusty (which is pretty much the only payment I give her), and then my wife and I tried them.

Was I still excited after the first puff? In a word... Nope.

Here's the CYA portion of my article so that the fine folks of Yakima know I'm not being paid anything for (or against) this review of this product.

My friend Gloria (who does NOT work for any place that would deal with the food or advertising industry) gave them to me, and as stated above, she got to pet my little dog for her troubles.

I'm reviewing this product because I'm a fat guy who loves to try these types of things.

Taste Test For Cheetos Puffs Cheese Pizza Flavored Snack Food

I opened the bag, and boom, it smelt cheesy! Always a good sign for a snack food that has cheese as part of its name.

Then I had one puff... and I was done.

When you think of a cheese pizza, you think of the 3 main things: crust, cheese, and tomato sauce. These puffs went HEAVY on the tomato sauce taste.

And the taste wasn't like pizza tomato sauce, but more of a tomato soup flavor, especially the aftertaste.

2nd Opinion Taste Test For Cheetos Puffs Cheese Pizza Flavored Snack Food

My wife, who loves Cheetos, especially the puffs, was not a fan either. She pointed out the 'more of a soup taste' to me, but once I realized it, that was all I could get.

A little while later, she informed me that she was going to brush her teeth because she felt that these puffs 'stuck around' longer than they normally do.

I laughed and warned her how that would go into the review.
