True story: at one of my previous jobs I was in charge of a database that maintained insurance records for employees of various client companies that used our services. In our database we had a list of job titles. One of the job titles was “cheeto extruder”. It’s true that this job title was in our database, but I cannot guarantee that it was an actual job title at our client company (who was a maker of various edible products, including Cheetos) - maybe some HR person at the client company had entered it as a joke?
Well, the machine exists, so it is logical to assume that someone runs it.
. . . not to mention the bag of multi-colored penis-shaped pasta I bought in Venice.
Is that multi-colored pasta shaped like penis, or pasta shaped like multi-colored penis?
What were they called?
‘Extrudate’ is now my Word of the Day. I must use it to annoy.
Penicelli?
God, I do love the Dope.
Yes, but is there really some poor soul that does that all day, and has “Cheeto Extruder” printed on his/her business cards? On the other hand, you probably get to eat all the Cheetos you want, so maybe this is a sought-after position.
Frito-Lay doesn’t have any listings for it in the career opportunity sections on their site at least. I would think they would just be called Machine Operators since most plants make multiple products, not just Cheetos.
Interestingly enough, if you mispronounce penne (like the pasta) so that it has one ‘n’, i.e. pene, it means ‘penis’ in italian.
