Why do puffs hot cheetos are hotter than hot cheetos?

The "Puffs" version of Hot Cheetos may taste hotter than the traditional crunchy version due to the different texture and composition of the snack. The puffed texture allows for more surface area contact with the taste buds, enhancing the perception of heat. Additionally, the manufacturing process of the puffs may allow for more of the spicy seasoning to adhere to the snack, intensifying the heat sensation.
