Sounds like you have a stomach bug. They suck, but only last 24 hours. The worse thing is whatever you ate right before getting sick usually is something you won't eat again for a very long time! I had one just a couple of months ago. The last thing I had before getting sick was Olive Garden! Mind you it was the first time EVER I went to Olive Garden and I was really looking forward to it. But.............it will be a long time before I go back, if ever! Even though it wasn't what I ate, it was just that I was coming down with the bug!! Go easy on the food you eat for the next day or two. Stick with clear liquids and maybe some broth.

Answer 9

Cheetos are a crunchy, cheese-flavored snack made from cornmeal introduced by Frito-Lay in 1948, and currently sell about one billion bags per year in a number of countries. In some markets they are popular enough that the word "Cheetos" is often used as a generic term for any similar cheese puffs snack food, but it is, in fact, trademarked by the Frito-Lay company.

Cheetos are made in many different styles. There are "Crunchy Cheetos", which are fried. Some Cheetos are baked in ovens; for instance, Cheetos Puffs, Cheetos Twists, Cheetos Paws, and Cheetos Whirls are all "finished dryed" in very large throughput ovens.

Wise Foods, Inc. sells a popular version of the snack, Cheez Doodles.

One of the more popular varieties of Cheetos are "Flamin' Hot Cheetos", which are covered in a spicy powder. They also come in "Flamin' Hot Cheetos con Limon", which are also flavored with lime.

A distinguishing feature of snacks in this genre is their tendency to turn the eater's fingers orange or red. This is due to the powdered dyes used to color the corn tubes. In 2005, Holiday Cheetos Twists were introduced, which were made to turn the eater's tongue green.

The manufacturing process does not create uniform pieces. At times, exceptionally large Cheetos have been sold on eBay. The largest of note is about the size of a lemon, weighs half an ounce, and is preserved and on display in Algona, Iowa. [1]

Advertising
From the beginning, Cheetos' slogan was "The cheese that goes crunch!". That slogan remained until 1996, when it became "Dangerously cheesy!". This is the current slogan for the product.

Cheetos originally did not have a mascot, and in 1986, Chester Cheetah, an anthropomorphic cartoon cheetah character was introduced. Since his commercial was successful, the sly, smooth voiced cheetah starred in another commercial, and eventually, he became Cheetos' official mascot. He has even starred in two video games.

TV commercials for Cheetos have consistently featured a theme where Chester Cheetah desperately attempts to eat other people's Cheetos. Through the mid '80s and '90s, he was often seen sneaking up on an unsuspecting stranger at a beach or public park. The result would always involve cartoon violence like Chester clumsily getting his face smashed flat by a trash can lid.

Contemporary TV spots are beginning to portray Chester in CGI animation and in less antagonistic manner. A 2006 commercial has Chester defeating a rival chef in a baking contest to create Baked Cheetos.

A cheap recipe is the "Cheetos Sandwich" made from a base of two slices of white sandwich bread generously spread with cream cheese. As many cheetos as possible are heaped on one of the slices, then the second slice is placed on top and pushed down hard until all the cheetos are crushed. Cheetos are also a possible addition to tuna salad sandwiches. The cheetos are layered on top of the tuna as an additional filling. Everything here described can be done also with either Doritos or Potato chips or a combination of all the three for maximum flavour experience.
