The items, which range in price from $5 to $30, are available online and in stores for a limited time. A rep for Forever 21 said the collection is a response to the high popularity of the extra-spicy snack food. “Flaming Hot Cheetos fans are so fanatical,” vice president of merchandising, Linda Chang, said in a statement. “Over the past couple of years, we have seen their love for this food illustrated all over pop culture, and in particular, via social media.”
Indeed, Cheetos chompers online are already raving about the Forever 21 collection.

It seems the appetite for trendy, irreverent swag based on beloved brands – which should be welcome news for distributors helping clients develop their own merch campaigns.
