"The rumors on the internet are true: there is in fact a Cheetos Flamin' Hot Dill Pickle flavor," the Feb. 14 announcement read. The big reveal was styled to look like a memo sent to Cheetos employees about a leak within the company, with the new flavor serving as the prized information that was released early.
"Starting today, you can find Cheetos Flamin' Hot Dill Pickle in stores!" the fake memo said before adding that the new snack will be available for a "month-long flavor run."

The brand captioned the post by writing, "y'all won," a nod to the many fan requests for the new flavor to be made available for purchase. Cheetos later shared a video on Instagram on Feb. 18 suggesting that the brand's mascot, Chester Cheetah, was responsible for the leaked flavor reveal.
Fans reacted with excitement to the news as some sought tips on where to find the new flavor as others said they had already purchased bags of the new snack for a taste test.
"Who needs these? I DO!" one fan wrote as another declared, "we need to find this flavor ASAP."
"Lol saw them yesterday and we got some," one Instagram user commented. When Cheetos' official Instagram account asked for a review, they responded by writing, "DELICIOUS IM GONNA DRENCH IT IN PICKLE JUICE TO ELEVATE IT 🥰."
"I love them!!! I bought 10 bags lol 😂," one customer admitted.
"I've never needed something so badly in my entire life," another Cheetos fan said.
Despite the excitement, some fans seemed sad that the Flamin' Hot Dill Pickle flavor is only slated to be available for one month. "Bro! Month long?!?! COME ON! You have a lime flavor!! Keep the Dill Pickle Flavor!" one Instagram user wrote as another agreed, writing that instead of one month, "We demand 10."
"Pleaseeee make it stay forever ♾️," another Instagram user requested.
