There\u2019s nothing like the holiday season to get the gossip mill up and running: who\u2019s getting married, who\u2019s getting divorced, what new Cheetos flavor may or may not be coming out. Okay, that last one might be just us, but I know you perked up when you read that (you wouldn\u2019t be here otherwise). The Reddit town criers are back on their usual mis<\/s>information tirade, there may or may not be some merit to the excitement around the possibility of a Flamin\u2019 Hot Dill Pickle Cheetos flavor hitting the store shelves soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAre Flamin\u2019 Hot Dill Pickle Cheetos Really Dropping? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
According to the r\/snacking Reddit<\/a>, a Facebook post depicting a green and black bag featuring Chester Cheetah holding a pickle began circulating about a week ago, and ever since then crazed Cheetoheads have been trying to crack the code of if and when this new flavor will be dropping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A Facebook user claiming to be a Frito Lay worker commented on the post, saying, \u201cThey will be out as a limited-time only item in February.\u201d Alas, even my Gen-Z internet-detective skills are no match for the challenge of verifying if any part of their claims are true\u2014but Instagram user snackolator, who has proven to be a relatively reliable source, is also reporting<\/a> that these spicy dill pickle snacks are on their way to shelves in February 2025. Can\u2019t believe everything you see on Facebook\u2014or can you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s not like we haven\u2019t been faced with this debacle before. Thanks to stunts like Lay\u2019s very real IHOP<\/a> and very possible Cap\u2019n Crunch<\/a> collaborations, we here at Sporked <\/em>are quite familiar with the work of major companies trying to trot out product excitement whether or not the product is even released. Ever heard of the hit marketing strategy \u201cpost an edit of the flavor you\u2019re considering releasing online and see what the people say before you actually release it?\u201d Hey, now you have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Though we don\u2019t know if this is exactly what Cheetos is doing (or if it\u2019s just a Facebook user with some really good Photoshop skills playing a massive prank on all the foodies on the internet, which would be kind of mean), it\u2019s not stopping the rumor mill from churning out new content every day. Touche, Cheetos (or random Facebook user who\u2019s really good at Photoshop. Touche). <\/p>\n\n\n\nNo, Really, Is This Real?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
