Why are Cheetos so good?

[Yavin Shikanoko]

Cheetos, delicious Cheetos

[Enterprofilenamehere]

Because as a species, we've evolved to seek out and enjoy eating sweet and salty foods. Cheetos are very much the latter. Plus cheesy things just automatically taste good.

I guess I should have been more specific: Cheesy-flavoured things. Kraft Dinner, Cheetos, it's all good. By the way Cheetos do actually contain real cheddar.

No thanks, I'd disagree.

Fake cheese and starch dust. I'd sooner eat cardboard.

Unpopular opinion, I liked Cheddar Cheese Nips and miss them.

Ah yes, the good old Sunday Sport.

British journalism at it's finest. (well unless you include Viz in that, which is frankly awesome).

This jokes been around since I was a kid in the 70s. Some super market tabloid takes it and embellished on it. LoL.

The joke originated here in the USA from Hustler magazine in 1977. 😂

I doubt that as I heard it when I was at junior school before that. But then that's how jokes work - they roll around in cycles.

Yeah, the Daily Sport (or Sunday Sport now) is a cracker of a magazine. They've had other historical gems like
"World War Two bomber found on moon",

"Record smashed with 9 Creme Eggs stuffed up bum"

"Ten years ago the Lotto made me a millionaire, now I suck off dogs for Quavers" (coincidentally another cheesy snack reference),

or perhaps my favourite

"Gordon Ramsay sex dwarf found dead in Badger Set".

I used to get this paper for a while as it was great toilet reading.

You may be right. I first saw the joke in a hustler magazine submitted by a subscriber so it may indeed be older than I thought.

Tabloids have been banned from supermarkets here in the USA for quite some time, thankfully.

Have they? That's something I wasn't aware of. Cheers for that little tidbit - I love little nuggets of data like that.

I was about to comment that they don't even taste vaguely like cheese

Then I realized that's pretty accurate of all artificial flavors. Grape candy doesn't taste remotely like grapes. Strawberry candy doesn't taste remotely like strawberries. So I guess you have a point.
