I Can’t Stop Thinking About The Weird Cheeto Ingredients Video Everyone Is Talking About
I woke up this morning, checked my phone, and saw someone sharing a video of a woman pouring the various ingredients that make up a bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos into a tall glass while making YouTube thumbnail faces. I didn’t think much of it. By the time I finished eating my breakfast, that’s all my timeline was talking about.
On June 15, Keith Fitzgerald shared the video of the woman and the deconstructed Cheetos tube to BlueSky, where it went viral as people rightfully dunked on how silly it was. People began cracking jokes about the odd video, pointing out how, if you were to break down basically any food into its core ingredients, it would probably look weird and gross. It’s not like any of us were eating Cheetos because we assumed they were all-natural or healthy.
Need a follow up video exposing the seedy underbelly of making a cake from scratch.

fun to see that most of what is in cheetos you would find in any decently stocked pantry and that the more "exotic" ingredients are just a few starches and food colorings

Well I can think of one other Cheeto I’d like to see liquified down to its core ingredients. Folks

There is a video going around on here, and it's full of false information. Everyone knows this is where Cheetos come from, Chester's butthole.
