Making cream stew with Cheetos? That's weird Making Cheetos flavored like cream stew, Japan's favorite wintertime comfort food? Still weird but in a crunchy, creamy, delicious kind of way!

Cream stew in Japan, these days anyway, is made much like beef stew, hashed beef or curry: from blocks of “mix” melted into a boiling pot of meat and vegetables. The result is usually better than one might expect, depending on the brand of stew mix and the quality of the meats and veggies used.

Now Frito-Lay Japan has captured the essence of hearty Japanese cream stew in their newest snack flavor, Cheetos Cream Stew. Even if you can't read the language, the bubbling pot of creamy yumminess on the bag acts as a workable translation.

According to Frito-Lay Japan, Cheetos Cream Stew corn puffs combine the sweetness of corn flavor with the classic creamy goodness of cream stew. Added bonus: a pleasing crunchy texture most stew-eaters won't experience otherwise unless they forget to de-bone the meat before cooking.

Frito-Lay Japan also invites snackers to enjoy the taste of Cheetos Cream Stew to the point where it becomes habit-forming. That's nice of them but also a bit cruel: Cheetos Cream Stew corn puffs are scheduled for official retail release on December 2nd of 2013 and are only to be sold until March 31st of 2014. Wise habitual snackers had best order mass quantities now to prevent withdrawal symptoms later.

Ketchup flavored chips are worldwide.

 

[Data West]

All of this Asian marketed weird ass chips just taste like corn chips.

 

[layzie1989]

Jalapeño Cheetos are amazing. I wish we could have more interesting favors like the various Asian chip companies.

 

[Chezzymann]

Ketchup flavored chips are worldwide.

Still weird, but tasty nontheless.

 

[RM8]

My barf everywhere.

 

[vas_a_morir]

I do this every time Frito-Lay releases something in japan...

but man, Japanese Doritos and Cheetos fucking SUCK!!!!! They taste burned, stale, and have none of the flavor that you have come to expect from the US counterparts.

 

[The Lamp]

My barf everywhere.

You ever had chocolate covered saltine crackers? or chocolate covered pretzels? I'd imagine it's the same basic thing. salt + sweet. Sounds good to me.

 

[TCRS]

Why not have a stew flavoured popsicle with your stew flavoured crisps?

From the nation that brought you squid flavored ice cream

They have 1000 different "corn potage" flavored stuff, but they don't have the nerve to sell Salsa Verde Doritos here.

 

[SaintZ]

'Murica?

But seriously, what?! Salty and sweet? Gross.

 

[Steelrain]

Those buttered popcorn Cheetos they got are ridiculously good

 

[ponpo]

Dontacos are good though.

Will try. Some curry chips are aight.

 

[minor effort]

I will say I hate whenever Pringles releases their Balsamic Vinaigrette flavor here because I know I'll buy them way too often.

 

[BlackGhost]

Chocolate chips aren't disgusting at all...

 

[The Lamp]

But seriously, what?! Salty and sweet? Gross.

Have you ever had salty and sweet? Like seasalt ice cream? Chocolate covered saltines? It's pretty great.

 

[Hip Hop]

"Frito-Lay Japan"

Yup, Japan. Always Japan. Why can't anything cool like this come to the U.S.?

 

[Busaiku]

But seriously, what?! Salty and sweet? Gross.

So you never have chocolate with nuts?

 

[The Technomancer]

'Murica?

This actually looks really really good

 

[shira]

 

[minor effort]

"Frito-Lay Japan"

Yup, Japan. Always Japan. Why can't anything cool like this come to the U.S.?

Don't get too jealous. I assure you these will just taste vaguely sweet and salty like every other "weird" flavor you see from Japan.

"Frito-Lay Japan"

Yup, Japan. Always Japan. Why can't anything cool like this come to the U.S.?

These special flavors usually aren't very good. I swear Japan is like a testing ground for whatever batshit ideas some exec can come up with. I remember when they tried to sell Milk flavored Fanta. Shit was gross.
