What the what?!

Yes, that is exactly what it looks like. Strawberry Cheetos. Strawberry cheetos.... Sounds like it's time for another food abomination post! Now, my grandfather happens to love Cheetos, so when I saw this gem I couldn't resist buying a pack. And it only took me 3 months from the purchase date to open it.
As you can see, it looks like pig intestines and just about as appetizing. And for those of you who are still pondering what this disaster is, let me clarify. It is a regular cheeto covered in what Frito Lay refers to as strawberry chocolate.
I couldn't hold back my curiosity, and took small bite of one. The cheeto had about as much taste as a freeze dried piece of cardboard, and the strawberry chocolate, which lacked all strawberry taste, could be described as a mix of liquid plastic and lard.

Honestly, this is not the worst thing I've seen Japan do to food. There's chocolate covered pringles, candied squid and octopus (think seafood roll-up), soba and ramen ice cream, etc etc etc. Even still, these were pretty disgusting, and I threw the rest away after taking a few pictures.

LJ will be so disappointed. Cheetos and candy, together. And you threw them away... Luckily he can't look through your trash like he would do if you were in NO.
