Taste: What does a Cheeto taste like? If you don't know, go out and buy some. It's the taste against which all other crunchy cheese flavored snacks are compared. Always look for the big Cheeto, (a.k.a. the Cheeto de Milo), the one with the extra big head that makes it extra crunchy. It seem like the percentage of really huge Cheetos in the can was lower than you would typically find in a bag. But you do get a more even distribution of sizes throughout the package than you would with a bag, where the little ones all settle to the bottom. The one downside of a Cheeto? The orange stuff always gets on our fingers. I almost didn't eat these at all, because Chester Cheetah is standing there on the can, setting the Cheese-O-Meter to "Dangerously Cheesy" — and I'm not usually one to ignore health warnings.
