I've posted nearly a billion pictures since starting X-Entertainment, and during that time, I've experimented with many different backgrounds. So, mental note: Never use shiny, reflective wrapping paper as a photo background ever again.
Unsightly glare aside, I'm pleased to announce the revival of a modern Christmas classic: All-new holiday edition Cheetos! I've been waiting for Chester to give into his festive yearnings ever since those tongue-dyeing bastards of 2005, and while these Cheetos won't turn your mouth radioactive colors, they're suitably Santaish.
Marked as a "limited winter edition," these White Cheddar Snowballs resist any kind of denominational affiliation, instead opting for a central theme safe for those of any and every religion: Snow!
The bag didn't lie. The Cheetos are humongous. You'll be torn between eating them and using them to drop fifty-cent sideshow hecklers into water tanks.
They're also a bit yellow, which isn't an ideal hue for a snack based on snow. Taste-wise, they're less like white cheddar Cheetos and more like stale regular Cheetos, but this is forgivable, as Cheetos is one of the few foods that's arguably better when stale.
Getting back to the size, it's really something, and I'm not sure if adding a nickel to the photo was enough to convey their enormity. I've never been more certain that I could kill another man with an armament consisting of nothing but Cheetos.
It took some serious creativity on Frito-Lay's part to figure out how to market giant, yellow, roughly-spherical Cheetos as a holiday edition. Even if it's a stretch, you have to appreciate the effort.

Teddy: The only parts I DID like about “Shrek The Halls” Were Puss in Boots (casting Antonio Banderas was genius, as is his overall animation) and Christmas parade that Donkey sees. But I liked “Merry Madagascar” slightly better. I liked the characters more (Penguins & lemurs!), even though the only voice to NOT come back was Sacha Baron Cohen as King Julian.
