cheez-its vs. cheetos

you can incorporate the different varieties into your decision making process if you'd like, but you don't have to

cheetos are so damn tasty but the dust that gets left on your hand really sucks plus I know they are unhealthy as hell

cheez-its at least, you know, don't

you know, this is a really weird thread

http://cheetos.brohat.org/img/cheeto.gif

what can I say

Yeah, these are not comparable imo. Each fulfills a totally different snacking need.

king of cheese snacks: cheese, obv

cheese is too cheese-like to be the king of cheese snacks

White Cheddar Cheez-Its for the win

^

I cannot choose between the two, but in the spicy category

beats Flamin' Hot Cheetos

should be cheez its vs goldfish; cheetos vs cheese puffs

cheetos own cheese puffs pretty hard

and goldfish are a tier 2 snack

This thread makes me think of how much I hate it when people spell cheesy "cheezy".

and goldfish are a tier 2 snack

lol gtfo

goldfish start out pretty good but after a few minutes your mouth gets all dry and their appeal goes down pretty quickly...sorta fig newton-esque

agreed, eating goldfish devolves too quickly into just eating more for the salt... not cheesy enough

cheez-its, btw, easily

^so obv better

lol gtfo

Cheez-its

Cheez-it's have an aftertaste that I find unpleasant. Too bitter. Cheetos...straight YUM. cheezits go straight to level 2 with goldfish IMO

Although anyone who finds cheese too cheese-like is a disgusting savage, I will offer up as a gesture of goodwill the following musical tribute to cheetos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ-heqpjPh4&feature=player_embedded

never could get into cheez-its. if i'm in a social situation where they're the only option, and they're presented in a "look what i have...cheez-its, fuck yeah!" kind of situation, i'll endure it (heroically, stoically). i'd much rather have some cheetos, but the only thought i have when i'm eating cheetos is "i'd rather be banking", and also "i'd rather be eating doritos right now"

cheez-its are for people who are too uptight to enjoy Cheetos. There. I said It

TRUTHBOMB

you too good for cheetos!?

that said, having said that, with that said, doritos

wait why banking

dude likes banking, deal with it

even if i'm on a beach, enjoying a cold beer and a good book with a soft breeze, the first thing that comes to mind is "i'd rather be banking"

never said i'm too good for cheetos, i'm a fan of the whole triumvirate (cheetos-doritos-cheez-its). but the real dark horse here is smartfood

it's a sad comment on my life that one of the top google results for "i'd rather be banking" is me, making an "i'd rather be banking" joke two years ago on ILX.

anyway, cheetoooooooooooooooooooooooos!

i would be so pissed if my room was stained with fake cheese

i can't respect any snack that comes in a box

don't care for cheese snacks, i'm really just posting in this thread to annoy ppl

if i did like cheese snacks, then i would go for pirate booty

good-bye

how is this even a match up? cheez its are 50000000000000x better than cheetos

cheez its vs goldfish would be something but this is just

cheetos are even worse than doritos

i fuck w/ those cheesey puffs that used to come unlabeled in a clear plastic bag cuz they were truly light as air -- actual cheetos are way too dense

Jordan u are dead to me

cheetos are just really not good at all

you take back what you said about the doritos

YOU TAKE IT BACK

Jordan u deserve cheez its, u are not worthy of Cheetos

i wouldn't even crush a cheeto with my shoe

y'all are serious about your cheese-flavored snacks

Cheetos © Puffs > Cheez-Its > OG Cheetos

i rock rough and tough w/ my cheeto puffs

how is this even a match up? cheez its are 50000000000000x better than cheetos

god fucking bless you man

Cheez its are about as delicious as a doggie treat, fuck that shit

More like Che's zits amirite

Cheez Balls >>> Cheetos >>> Cheez-It Duoz = pizza Goldfish >>>> most other Goldfish varieties >>>>> original Cheez-Its >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> cheese puffs, fuck that shit

it's amazing and inspiring that Cheez-Its were around for decades before they came up with some new flavors that didn't suck. Smoked Cheddar and Monterey Jack Cheez-Its are as great an improvement over OG Cheez-Its as the modern safety bicycle was over the penny-farthing.

Cheetos win, for me, as long as they are of the crunchy variety.

But really, I'll buy a full bag of either of these (or Goldfish) and a bottle of chocolate milk on the way home after a really bad day at work.

has there ever been a non-Crunchy Cheeto? you're scaring me, bro.

oh I guess maybe non-crunchy Cheetos would be puffs, which are yucky.

A quick google image search reveals that most cheetos are of the crunchy variety these days, but when I think of O.G. Cheetos, I think of these puffy things:

http://recipepapa.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/cheetos-crunchy1.jpg

I'm wrong about which cheetos was original though:

Crunchy Cheetos (1948–present)
Cheetos Puffs (1971–present)

http://www.lance.com/img/prod/cat/lg/16.jpg

I formulate this question more as Cheez-its vs Goldfish.

yeah even though I consider goldfish tier 2, I would have included them if I were making this poll today

I really like the whole wheat goldfish, actually

Cheetos are just too dirty.

that sounds...weird. do they taste more like wheat or like cheese?

They give a better nuttiness to the cheese imo

I consider Cheetos in ball form only.
The long wormy Cheetos are a poor man's Twisties and I just can't abide them bc it makes me sad and craving Twisties.
(eyeroll yes yes Australia is awesome whatever whatever lol)

Have you ever had gougères?

http://www.scottrobertsweb.com/images/Trader-Joes-Jalapeno-Cheese.jpg

I am a fan of trader joe brand cheetos, esp these

Gold-n-Chees

I misread as

Gold-n-Cheeks

:D

I have never even heard of those mw but they look delicious

Hot out of the oven, they are exquisite.

What about Cheese Nips?

cheese nips and other fake cheez-its are absolutely revolting

I really just wanted to type Cheese Nips.

CHEEZ-ITS IN A WALK

CHEEZ-ITS IN A WALK

― Can you keep up? (Cheetah)

so many things wrong with this

There's a magnificent Treezy Forbeezy analogy hidden not too deep in this thread, but I just... I got nothing ;_;

for optimal Cheez-It enjoyment: douse w/ Tabasco; add a touch of extra salt; bake lightly to correct for Tabasco sog

NOM!

Cheezy Formeezy (cheezy meaning cheetos not cheezits)

White cheddar Cheez-Its are the best drunk snack imaginable.

Cheetos are just nasty.

boo

and no, Tabasco *flavored* Cheez-Its do not serve as an adequate shortcut to said process. Not by a long shot.

xxxp

white cheddar cheez its?
eyeroll

Hot & Spicy cheez-its wins this for me... I think I must be accustomed to the bitter aftertaste that VegemiteGrrl mentioned

but I eat acidic foods all the time and order my food extra spicy

the white cheddar ones don't have that aftertaste!

Have to go with Cheez-its btw, Cheetos are simply disgusting. Cheetos' the stuff of nightmares, drowning in a pool of the orange sticky mess it gives off. It's like gravel. Ugh.

do Cheetos come in ball form?

wtf is wrong with you people

CHEEEEETOOOOOS

Utz still makes cheese balls, but if the death of Planters Cheez Balls has left a huge hole in your heart, Utz balls probably can't fill that hole for you.

Utz balls r grate!

yes, my grief counselor keeps telling me that.

;_;

sorry for ur loss

*sob*

thanks VegemiteGrrl. I can't believe it's been over 5 years.

it gets easier...(pats shoulder)

White cheddar Cheez-Its are the best drunk snack imaginable.

White cheddar ones have a crumbly, slightly greasy feel that reminds me of Cheese Nips.

smartfood, people

http://i.imgur.com/YFDAg.png
There's so much beauty in the world.

got those Tobasco flavored Cheez-Its the other week and was incredibly underwhelmed. mediocre snack in all its incarnations, imo.

cheetos.

Tabasco

CHEESY, SALTY, CRUNCHY, AWESOME

there is a bar near where i work that gives free bowls of cheeseballs out with drinks. one of the greatest bargains in the neighboorhood is the Sportsman, a can of black label and a shot of evan williams. and cheeseballs. if cheeseballs aren't enough you can also get chili dogs and frito pie. </yelper>

^ I have been to this place. Totally forgot about it (& don't remember the name), but I remember the Sportsman (& other cheap shot & beer combos). $4, right? Near the Bedford L?

don't think I did too much eating there, tho. Sounds like I missed out :/

goldfish.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

eating crunchy cheetos now is pretty much the closest i'll ever get to a proust/madeleine moment, takes me back to second grade lunchtime instantly.

many xposts to pillbox, yes--the levee on north 3rd and berry streets.

I've made the sad realization that Cheetos seem to be universally accepted as the long twisty things...even though you can get them in ball form no-one really thinks of those as Cheetos, but that's the only Cheeto I know because long twisty Cheetoes are Twisties!

ugh

I don't like this poll anymore

Both now owned by Frito-Lay, btw. Cheetos date from 1948 and Twisties from 1950.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

in your face, Bates and Bowdoin!

YES

This poll is bullshit. Who eats cheez-its on purpose?

^^^^

DOWN WITH THIS POLL

i blame iatee

This poll is bullshit. Who eats cheez-its on purpose?

Who eats them accidentally?

I am friends with Cheez-Its on facecase and that Colby poll result is the ultimate wtf. Colby, like provolone, is the ultimate in "feels strangely like cheese but TASTES LIKE NOTHING IN MY MOUTH."

It's not strong enough!

Still waiting for mimolette or manchego Cheez-its

Ok, I can somewhat understand colby, but provolone is one of the more flavorful deli cheeses to me.

You know what else might be good? Pecorino Cheez-its; already salty.

Eww. xp

Colby is insipid but at least real provolone has a little bite to it.

Eww. xp

More for me!

No, I mean "Ew" to provolone. I will FIGHT U for the Manchego Cheez-Its, do you hear me?

Why? I'll share.

You guys cheese crackers are really easy to make -- you can have your manchego cheezits and eat all of them if you want
These are parmesan (cheese, salt, butter, flour, cream - blend, roll, cut, bake) and I made some topped with cayenne too and they were o_0 delicious
haven't made them in a while -- maybe it's time! toooootally unhealthy but worth it for special occasions

i have a treadmill and could try this

i wish he wasn't shirtless

BTW to answer the original poll question, Cheez-its are a bullshit snack and Cheetos offer a portal into the mind of God

needs a row of lime slices

pretty sure that cheetos are actually healthier than cheez-its too.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91j9juWFKxL._SY355_.jpg

i sincerely hope president trump deports whatever depraved savage came up with this atrocity

"cheez-its...but burnt"

gtfo

" "i'd rather be banking""

don't think i ever liked cheetos even when i was a kid and all junk food was exciting whereas i still eat cheez-its

While we're on the subject.

In the 1930s when the Hayes Office was at its peak, lowlife characters in Hollywood movies who were surprised during the commission of some petty crime were often heard to say, "Cheese it! The cops!" before scrambling off at top speed. This was because they were banned from saying "Jesus! The cops!"

write-in vote for Utz Cheese Balls

Planters' Cheez Balls are my absolute fave

those are good too

australian cheetos are cheese balls & in hs they had ones that were cheese & bacon flavored, the BEST

haven’t seen planters cheese balls in a store for many years but they are indeed the best

I find that some boxes of Cheez-Its Extra Toasty are not toasty enough.

Apart from that, and Utz Extra Dark Pretzels, I'm disappointed that well-done snack variants hasn't become a thing. I could stand to eat some burnt saltines with butter.

Also, it's Parmesan Goldfish for me!

Why doesn't Doritos ever bring back the Taco Doritos like they used to?

They did bring back taco Doritos! Also Parmesan goldfish are my general go-to non-orange cheese cracker, they’re the best.
Why isn’t there an extra salty cheez-it?? Toasty great but gimme xtra salt pls

I think the last time I saw Planters cheez balls it was at Target? Can’t remember. They’re so good i can taste them in absentía.

I've seen them around at some hardware stores in MN

Utz Chees Balls are a good substitute

grocery outlet had planters chees balls for a little while, can confirm they were v good

spicy cheese-its vs flaming hot cheetos would be a tough one for me but straight up it's cheese-its by a mile.

i used to hate cheez-its when i first moved here. like, the super tangy taste grossed me out. i like cheez-its more now that i have lived in the us for a long time & also maybe i am old & my tastebuds are dying? idk

I've never had the courage to try any of the Flavor Blasted Goldfish for fear that they will ruin regular Goldfish for me. I'm imagining an overdose of artificial flavors and chemical aftertaste.

I actually like the White Cheddar Cheez-Its, but too much of the powdered flavor at once starts to taste like chewing a vitamin C tablet.

recommend buying two or more bags of different flavored goldfish and mix them up.

WHat is dorotos? is it chee? is it plants? I do nto understand the essence of dotoro

i mostly like the bags of cheez-its at 7-11 that have a mix of regular and parmesan ones. haven't bought a full box in years

+1 vote for cheetos from this dude

Once you have Flavor Blasted, you never go back.

How can that cat sleep through all the crinkling?

its a very specific kind of asmr

Why doesn't Doritos ever bring back the Taco Doritos like they used to?
