Flamin Hot Cheetos

Flamin' Hot Cheetos made headlines in 2012, with news outlets around the country picking up reports of that some schools were banning the snacks because kids were going batty for them and skipping meals for the less nutritional snack. In addition, students were spreading germs through sharing and making a mess for janitors with small orange finger prints all over the schools.

Doctors also warned some concerned parents were taking their kids to emergency rooms because the dyes in the snacks were mistaken for blood in the stool.
