Sorry I can't help you on this. Funny post actually, but also
interesting. It reminds me of a retailer who wants to buy a bunch of
inexpensive plain tee shirts so he can print stuff on them. I'm in
the habit of eating a small 50 cent bag of cheetos almost every day.
Even though I know nothing about how to go about flavoring such an
item, or even if such an item exists, I think for reasons I can't
explain that maybe it would be easier to experiment with those thicker
cheese snacks - the ones that are like cheetos except they're softer
and fluffier - cheese puffs I think they're called. It seems like
they would absorb things easier. Pretty interesting it would be to
walk into someone's home and they come out with a big tray of cheetos,
saying, "Here, have some of these home-made cheetos I just made up."
I suppose it could be done. Sounds like it could be work though.
That's always a turn off for me.

Thanks,
TJ
