Origin Story: Sweet Southern Heat Barbecue first premiered on American shelves around 2019, and it become popular enough that the people at Cheetos, the neon orange cheese colored snack, wondered what it would taste like if it was paired on their irregularly shaped lumpy corn puff. While technically, this is not a Lay’s bag of chips, since it is a Lay’s flavor, we decided to include it here anyway.
