    If a single normal bag can turn a person’s finger orange, can you imagine what these did to the guy?

      Those bags don’t look well sealed either so he’s going to be eating and peeing rocks.

    The caption seems pretty clearly not true, but assuming it were, there’s no way the rest of those aren’t going stale before he’s done with a quarter of the first one he opens.

      I bet it’s the start and or end of the run or something. Cheeto seconds. Maybe he slipped a guy $60 and the guy didn’t have to carry them to the dumpster.

      You should know: if you have anything like cereal, cheetos, doritos, potato chips, or crackers and they’ve gone stale, but the taste itself is still OK; if you put them in the oven spread out on a pan at 350 for a few minutes, you can make them crispy again. Often times even better than when the bag was brand new.

      Keep a very close eye on them while doing this. It may take 4 minutes to make them awesome again, but just a minute later they could taste burnt. After a couple minutes just grab one and try it every 30 or so seconds.

          I think it depends on if they are gaining or losing moisture while going stale. If they are softer, do this. If they are hard, stick an apple slice or two in the bag with them. This works for weed, too, if you don’t like how dry it is.

          But mostly seal your bags as well as you can when you set them aside. Bag clips help. It also helps to remove as much air as you can before you close it.

    I wouldn’t have thought that the bags cost so much. They’re not that big. How much did the Cheetos inside them cost?

      Assuming the guy is 6 ft, those bags look roughly to be 2m X 1m X 1m, using that and a bit of chatGPT to do the maths because I’m lazy, we’re looking at roughly 2,500 large bags of Cheetos per clear bag

      Which I’m guessing is only if the cheetos are packed perfectly at maximum density

      But even if we half it and for every cheeto, there’s an equivalent amount of volume as space, then we’re still looking at a lot of bags, this is a bargain at approximately 5¢ per equivalent large bag

      The maths it did in python apparently:

      import math

# Dimensions of a Cheeto
length = 0.05  # in meters
diameter = 0.01  # in meters
radius = diameter / 2  # Radius is half the diameter

# Volume of a cylinder V = πr^2h
volume = math.pi * (radius ** 2) * length
# volume = 3.93x10^-6

# Volume of the bag
volume_of_bag = 2  # in cubic meters (2m x 1m x 1m)

# Number of Cheetos that fit in the bag
number_of_cheetos = volume_of_bag / volume
# number_of_cheetos = 509,296

# Number of Cheetos per large bag
cheetos_per_bag = 200

# Number of bags needed
number_of_bags = number_of_cheetos / cheetos_per_bag
# number_of_bags = 2,546

      The Cheetos in the bags cost that much, not the bags themselves.

      How did you infer the plastic bags themselves cost the entire price?

    good to know that if I ever felt inclined, I could fill a room with cheetos for roughly 2000 at this price point.

    good. to. know.

    He spent $1,820 to be known as “The Cheeto Guy”, the food itself will be eaten but the real enjoyment will be his satisfaction from buying odd little fame. Dude sat down and decided to buy himself a “hail corporate” personality.
