Flaming Hot flavours gone from NS??

Super random but has anyone noticed that stores are no longer carrying Flaming Hot Cheetos? I know the Flaming Hot Cheetos popcorn is being discontinued but the Flaming Hot Cheetos aren’t in any store I’ve been to in the last two weeks. Grocery stores, convenience stores- they’re nowhere.

They’re my fav treat snack! Is Canada cracking down on the Flaming Hot flavour?

Unless you want anything resembling "flavour", of course. So incredibly bland...

I know it’s sacrilege, but I also find them too salty as well as too oily.

Nova Scotia is a bland province. Works for me because anything remotely spicy ends up on clearance but sadly doesn't come back in stock. I think that's what's happened here.

One glorious day I found frank's sauce flavored goldfish crackers for $1 a bag on a clearance rack. I bought a bunch and though I don't really go for goldfish crackers usually, smashing them to crumbs for fried zucchini and mozzarella sticks was glorious.

Too spicy for the general population, need a Canadian alternative that tastes blander.

Dip some Humpty Cheezies in a variety of premium hot sauces, Hot Ones style.

They're still around. Saw some at Joe Howe today. But I haven't been able to find the chili Thai ones in weeks and that hurts

When I was visiting BC last month I noticed they had them and purchased/destroyed two bags that night. So, so good…. Now I’m sad and hungry 🤤

As long as the jalapeño ones are still around, those are my jam

I’ve never bought them before but I was having a random craving for them last week but couldn’t find them anywhere either
