My wife, Janis, and I visited our lake house in East Texas last weekend, and while we were there, we went to the local Brookshire's grocery store to pick-up something for dinner. I heard Cheetos was launching a new product soon, and I had to see if it was on the shelf yet. I found it: Cheetos Mighty Zingers. The vibrant metallic packaging made the bags easy to spot, and I love the name "Mighty Zingers" because it captures both the mischievous nature of Chester and evokes the idea of a flavorful snack food.
I had to choose between the two flavors of Mighty Zingers -- Ragin' Cajun & Tangy Ranch and Sharp Cheddar & Salsa Picante. I picked Sharp Cheddar & Salsa Picante. When I got home and tasted the Mighty Zingers, I was surprised to find there are actually two different flavors of tiny, bite-size Cheetos in each bag (quite the opposite of Giant Cheetos, which debuted last year). Best of all, I think Mighty Zingers tastes delicious.
Both flavor combinations of Cheetos Mighty Zingers are available in large bags in supermarkets, and you can find single-serve bags at convenience stores.
Watch-out for a sample of Cheetos Mighty Zingers inside Frito-Lay's 22-count Flavor Mix multipack in March, and on May 9, there will be a coupon for Cheetos Mighty Zingers in your Sunday newspaper.

I got a sample of the mighty zingers rajun cajun and ranch mixin the mail. They were so good I wanted to keep them too myself but then my kids got home from school and I had to give them some. They loved them too! I cant wait until they are finally sold in our stores here in Harrison, AR. They make a great and tasty snack! Thanks for the sample!

We purchased Zingers (Cajun/ranch) several times while wintering in the Rio Grande Valley in Jan. and Feb. We loved them. They were a great balance between spicey and NOT. Problem is, we haven't found them since we got back to Minnesota. When will we find them locally? Thank you.

Hi, John. I'm sorry to let you know that we're no longer making Cheetos Mighty Zingers! They were slowly phased out earlier this year. We do hope you'll check out our other great Cheetos flavors though. http://www.fritolay.com/our-snacks/cheetos.html
Thanks for your comment. - Kristin

You should definitely bring back the Zingers...why "phase out" something so popular that hardly stayed on the shelves? Does not make much sense one would think. Basically goes against consumer-driven market thoughts....
