CHEETOS has discontinued a few flavors throughout the years that did not make the cut when it came to their popular counterparts.

Many cheesy snack fans know of the original crunchy Cheetos and its spicy opposite the Flamin' Hot Cheetos, there were five products in the Cheetos lineup that were scrapped.

Another spicy take on Cheetos that was short-lived was the Flamin' Hot Chipotle Ranch flavor.

These were similar to the original Flamin' Hot Cheetos, but they had chipotle ranch seasoning that gave the heat a nice cut of coolness.

Fans were so distraught over the chips' discontinuation that a petition on Change.org was created in 2020.

"Chipotle Ranch Cheetos launched into the market about two or so years ago," the petition read.

It continued: "For the several years that they have been on store shelves, they have been somewhat hard to come across.

"From what I’ve heard, gathering only positive reviews about them, they were hard to find because they were so popular amongst people like me."

It is unclear why the flavor was discontinued, but the petition's creator called it an "injustice" to remove them from the market.

CHEETOS CHEESY CHECKERS

Frito-Lay has come out with many shapes of Cheetos throughout the years.

If you were a '90s kid, you may remember Cheetos Cheesy Checkers.

The waffle-shaped Cheetos first hit grocery store shelves in 1995, but only lasted until 1998, Mental Floss reports.

"I have spent at least a sum total of 45 minutes today thinking about the Checkers and how bad I want them," one fan wrote in a Facebook group in 2010, according to the outlet.

CHEETOS CRACKER TRAX

Another fun shape that Frito-Lay tried out was paws. There have been many versions of this variety of Cheetos, including Cracker Trax.

Cheetos Cracker Trax was first released in the '90s and stayed around until 2008.

Cracker Trax was baked to deliver a crispy bite and came in Cheesy Cheddar and Spicy Cheddar.

Cheetos fans can still get the shape of Cracker Trax with Cheetos Paws that are currently available.

HONEY BBQ CHEETOS PUFFS

While Flamin' Hot Cheetos is known for its spice, the chip company also made a sweet and cheesy snack.

Honey BBQ Cheetos Puffs did not just taste like your average BBQ potato chip because they kept some cheese flavoring in as well.

The sweet and savory snack was introduced to fans around 2011, but in 2015, Pepsi Co confirmed to Mental Floss that the Honey BBQ puffs are “not currently in market in the U.S.”

It is unclear when the Cheeto flavor was first removed from store shelves.

CRUNCHY CHEETOS SALSA CON QUESO

Another flavor that fans may remember was Crunchy Cheetos Salsa Con Queso.

This chip was a huge hit as it was offered in the extremely popular crunchy Cheeto option.

Hints of spice, lime, and tomato were added to the iconic cheese seasoning.

The Cheeto flavor was released in 2000 and lasted until 2008.
