How much do you love Hot Cheetos? Do you them enough to buy them for $35? At the rate we're going, that's exactly how much you are going to have to pay for them!

In case you missed it, or you haven't noticed when you're at the store, but we're in the midst of a Hot Cheetos shortage! It's not the end of the world, sure, but it is weird. When the pandemic started it was toilet paper, then hair dye then ketchup and now it's Hot Cheetos. It's a weird pattern!

It's not Fritos, it's not Doritos, not even Hot Cheeto Puffs, it's specifically Hot Cheetos- it's odd.

Much like the great ketchup shortage of 2021, there is now a black market for bags of the crunchy goodness- and they will cost you over $30!

The cheapest bag will set you back $10- and that's the party size!

If you're not down for paying these ridiculous price, you just have to be patient, they're not out of Hot Cheetos, but there is a supply chain crisis so it'll just take a while longer to see the shelves replenished. I hope it's soon because I am itching to make some of these Sprinkles Cupcakes!
