You know these will wend their way to Korea soon enough. I won't be trying them voluntarily.

If it was "Pepsi Flavored Sweet Corn Puffs" would you try it? That's all it basically is. If you eat any kind of sweetened corn puff cereal, which is basically every sweetened cereal, or if you eat those chocolate poofs you can get at the family mart, then its the same thing, only Pepsi flavored.

They're not mixing cheese powder with Pepsi. It didn't say that. It's a completely different product. Like Cinnamon-Sugar Doritos. No, its not Doritos with cinnamon and sugar thrown on as well, its basically a churro in chip form.

Steelrails actually managing to argue with someone in a thread about Pepsi flavored Cheetos?

Jesus Christ... you really do argue for the sake of arguing don't you?

You posted that at 9AM. Take a rest man. Go outside and get some fresh air. It's gonna be alright dog.

OP. Trying to make them sound like some sort of horrible Asian concoction, but when you break it down rationally you realize its basically a breakfast cereal in snack form.

I'm enjoying my breakfast and hangover. EPL season kicks off tonight, between that and the Lotte game, its going to be a long one. Gotta save strength.

I can picture Steelrails as a kid, watching Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure with friends, during the scene with Death and Battleship, leaping to his feet, shouting, "That is NOT a battleship. That is a Pohang class corvette!"

"You sunk my...Pohang class corvette?_?"

That and being the kid with no friends because he argued with everyone all the time and could never just sit back and relax.

Don't quit your day job. You prognostications of my past are far from accurate.

I'm adopted and ended up switching schools 6 times growing up because my parents went with private school flavor of the month. Obviously I'm non-confrontational and have an innate ability to become easily accepted, often to the point of being a sycophant.

Probably why I come here and argue so much. In real life I usually repress all of that and am uber-gregarious.

They won't come to Korea. None of the wacky flavors make it over here. I wish they did though. I've heard green tea kit kats are the bomb yo.

First he might point out that said scene is from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, not Excellent Adventure.

How about Pepsi flavored chapstick? I saw Coca Cola and Sprite flavored chapstick at the main foreign food mart a while back. Let me now inwardly reconfirm that marketing is one of the most disgusting occupations on the planet. Alright, check.

As God as my witness, I thought that the title of that article was "Pepsi Flavored Cheetos are Thing in Japan". That's probably the misconception that made me think that it was some horrible Asian concoction. I'm blaming being misled on all of the Japanese writing on the original picture of the packaging.

The only cereals that I eat are oatmeal, grits, barley, groats, buckwheat and cream of wheat. And excluding champagne, none with bubbling beverages.

Were you imagining a Pepsi-Cheese flavored blend?

I don't think it's meant as a blend.

A cola-flavored corn snack is not some ridiculous idea. A cola-cheese one is.

Well in America, we have Oreo Os and other sugar corn puff concoctions.

Most snacks and kids cereals are basically the same thing. You could take half the sweet snacks on the shelves, pour milk on them, and serve them as cereal and most people couldn't tell the difference.
