Companies send newspapers all sorts of products, in the hopes that nice things about said products will be published.

This is not one of those times.

Our lovely and talented food writer, Natalie Mikles, this morning received a package from Frito-Lay that contained -- among other things -- a bag of "Flaming Hot Giant Cheetos."

I am not -- would not DREAM of -- making this up.

Read the story: Cheetos goes big time.

Good. Grief.

The bag was opened and passed around. Most people -- the wise ones -- simply looked within at the contents, which for all the world resembled large marshmallows that served as props in a slasher flick, and handed the bag to the next person.

Those of us -- yes, us -- that actually tried one of the things discovered that they tasted like....well, like nothing. They have no taste or flavour or what have you. All these Giant Flaming Hot Cheetos do is create a slight chemical burning sensation on the roof of your mouth.

I think the phrase I used to describe these things was, "like eating crunchy air."

I guess one could say these things are junk food taken to the illogical extreme.
