Ode To Flamin' Hot Cheetos

Oh the joy,
Oh the splendor
Oh the PAIN!
The first little bite is bold, not only on the part of the biter but on the burst of sudden flavor that is different than any other experience. That’s not so bad, you think, so away you go with three or four other red dyed chunks of crunch. Wow, now that is hot but wait……….
Air gets in as you talk and well, let’s just say it fans the flames.
Away you go searching for liquid, hot, cold, coke, water, anything…..
Out of desperation, still holding the bag of Cheetos, you grab the collar of your shirt and fan and flap it, as if that will help. Then you wave your hand in front of your face seeing red fingers and after wondering if your body is about to burst into flames as the red indicators at the end of your arms suggest, you realize you now have red dye on you clothes. As your eyes begin to water from tears of grief and tears of, well, being a sissy, you quickly reach up and rub away a tear but within a Milo-second the pain hits yours eyes and your body is thrown into a lurching dance and you are now hoping around somewhat moaning and still looking for liquid. Soon, after an hour or so, everything cools down and you tell yourself, “Oh that wasn’t so bad” and you reach for just one more.

I used to work at Ft Worth ISD and the kids would eat these all the time and so I thought that I would just try them to see what the big deal was. Well, let me tell you, if you think you would like to try these then be ready for an experience that will change your life... not only will you lose sleep from the heart burn later that night... you will start to crave the darn things.

Updated: Liberty my dog also likes these but she to thinks they are hot. I offer her a flamin' hot cheeto and she reaches out stretching her neck as far as she can and then she moves her lips back, out of the way of the cheeto and takes it and eats it. It is really funny to watch her work to keep her lips out of the way. I am sure they burn her lips just the same as they do mine.
