These Cheetos are different enough to make you feel like you are consuming a totally different product. Yet they have a familiar essence that is just right. Cheetos Stars Summertime Ranch really do make you feel like you are on a summer vacation and we can attribute that to the name of the snack and frankly the shape of the snack.

Cheetos Paws are obviously shaped like paws and that is pretty cute, right? They come in different varieties and flavors and they have a crunch that is just right.
