PLANO, Texas, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As college students begin a new semester and cuffing season looms, Flamin' Hot® is asking fans to keep their options open – snacking options, that is – and "Cheat on Flamin' Hot® Cheetos®" with every Flamin' Hot snack they see on campus. Chester Cheetah® himself is offering lucky spice lovers a "Hall Pass" to give one (or more) of the 25 different snacks from the Flamin' Hot portfolio a chance.
Starting today until November 30, fans can join Gabby Windey, TV Personality & Podcast Host, via Instagram or FlaminHotUniversity.com to find opportunities to win a "Flamin' Hot Burner Phone" – a flip phone with a one-of-a-kind Flamin' Hot design, a free year of cell service, and one special someone on speed dial, Chester Cheetah. When called from the "Burner Phone," Chester will make good on his "Hall Pass" offer by delivering a spicy selection of Flamin' Hot sidechips to winners' doors. The delivery also comes with a promise that Cheetos Flamin' Hot will always be there if you and your new sidechip ever want to snack.
"I love Cheetos Flamin' Hot, but take it from me - you can't reach your spiciest potential without trying different flavors and exploring your options," says Gabby Windey. "There is no reason to settle for just one flame when Chester is cool with you having hotties like Fritos® Flamin' Hot® and Funyuns® Flamin' Hot® in your rotation."
