Who likes em? Bush does. He got all pissed at the brits for not stocking them. I’m sensing payback from the dems for four years of Big Mac jokes. ---

Yeah, **oldscratch** , that’s what I’m talking about. Fritos? Gotta go with Cheetos, myself. Nothing like a thick layer of neon orange crap all over your fingers when you’re done with 'em. I call this buildup “moon dust”, seeing as how the moon’s made of cheese and all. I’m retarded. ---

My Fiance makes a great layer dip that the big scoop fritos are perfect for. Other than that I can’t stand them, the chili flavoured kind do bad things to my digestive tract. I prefer salt & vinegar chips. ---

Given the choice of Honey Nut Cheerios or Fritos at midningt after a full day of couch snoozing I’d have to make my self a peanut butter sandwich. ---

I just can’t bring myself to think of eating cheetos with a fork. isn’t scraping off the moon dust with your teeth half the fun? 🙂 ---

Cheetos with a _fork_? It’s not like I invite Martha Stewart over for snacks. Besides, I actually kind of like licking the stuff off my fingers. Keeps me in touch with my white trash roots. ---

Hmm. I’m not thinking of Cheetos actually. The big puffy ones are what I mean… cheese curls maybe? They’re actually fun to eat with a fork! ---

Yes, Upham, it does make you crazy. And woody, maybe you _should_ invite Martha over for dinner sometime. She’d be able to tell you which fork to eat the cheese puffs with! ---

Thanks, everyone, you’ve all cheered me up immensely (not that I was depressed, just bored). Unfortunately, I’ve gotta go to bed now (work in the morning - ah, hell) - so I’ve gotta take leave of these madcap shenanigans. Please continue on into the night, so I’ll have something to read on the job tomorrow. Buh-bye now. ---

A drive in in the South served up cheeseball night shows (All Hercules Night, Stupid Victims/Slasher Night) and one of the most heavenly concoctions I ate during my young life Frito Pie Take small or large bag of fritos and slice side open grate in cheddar cheese (how much you like) glop in steaming chili add more cheese, onions, hot sauce, whatever you like stick a fork in it…you are done Heavenly ---

Now I have a use for them.🙂 ::rushes off for elegant Cheeto breakfast:: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by posatyvo \* > \*\*I prefer salt & vinegar chips. \*\* Eww, salt & vinegar. I have bad memories of salt&vinegar. My first best friend was allergic to practically everything, so apparently salt & vinegar chips were the only kind he could eat. Whenever I went to the house, he was aways eating salt & vinegar chips. The smell made me sick and the taste was even worse. I’ve probably eaten less than 5 s&v chips in my life. Every time I eat one, it’s by accident, not knowing that’s what they are. They make me nauseated. ---

Yikes, there are people in the world who don’t know of the Frito pie? Those poor lost souls… I generally use taco meat, because I’m pretty sensitive to spiciness, but that’s some yummy stuff. ---

Just the regular Corn Fritos? Can’t eat them plain. I have to dip them in something. But, the ranch or BBQ flavored ones? No need to dip’em; they’re quite tasty by themselves. ---
