Do you struggle with stained fingers after eating such toxic snacks as Cheetos or Doritos? Well, in the interest of helping my fellow man, I embarked on a long and calorie-laden experiment to see how to prevent finger staining while eating certain snack foods.
(That is NOT me in the picture…photo for illustration purposes only! The model is Miss Reagan and photo cred to Hypnox.)
After countless hours of hoovering up Cheetos (crunchy and puffy), I discovered that if my fingers made direct saliva contact when placing said snack chip in my mouth, the stains refused to go away. Thusly, I concluded that if you keep your fingers dry when eating the orangey snacks, you will be able to wipe away the doodle dust without leaving a sickly orange residue on your skin. Problem solved.
So now I eat all Cheetos with a spoon. Problem solved. Glad I could be of service. Excuse me while I go off to conquer world hunger and other such strife.


My! Look at her hair! What a funky look!

I have the very same problem with a snack called Wotsits.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wotsits
They look very much like whatever lady red/black hair is bathing in.
Would I not look a bit daft eating my wotsits out of a packet with a spoon at my desk. (breathe!)
I do my best to pour the Cheetos straight from the bag into my mouth. This doesn’t always go as planned. The risk of overload is great, not the mention the possibility of getting a Cheeto up your nose. I hate it when that happens, but my fingers are pristine.
Okay Curl, I have to say the hair looks remarkably like that salon mishap you had several weeks ago. And that white bathroom looks very clean and kid-free. I am guessing your husband orchestrated this little “boudoir photo” session. I know he enjoys snack food and punk hairdos. Throw you into the mix and BOOM! Fantasy of all Fantasies.
PS: I used to looove cheese curls!! Sniff..
We called Maddie “cheese curl” in utero b/c that’s exactly what she looked like in her first sonogram pic. What s cute lil cheesie she was!
daffy: you must send me along some wotsits promptly! i have to try these snacks for the sake of mankind.
peter: the pouring method was tested during my experiment, but i found the percentage of doodle dust that landed on my shirtfront and my hair made it a poor performer.
dishy: stop spreading rumors about me and a bathful of cheetos. i’m sending you a truckload of cheetos and the green mohair catsuit. and i want PICTURES.
How about chopsticks or, better yet, the super-wide straws they use for bubble tea?
You are so funny! The picture is a riot and would have been even funnier if it was you. I love cheetos myself and hate orange fingers too. Funny post.
[...] June 4, 2008 by curlywurlygurly Over the last few days, I’ve seen a spike in traffic to my site from the search of CHEETOS. You may recall that I wrote a post about Cheetos and the annoying way that they stain fingertips a hideous shade of orange–if not, prepare to be entertained by clicking here. [...]
the hair is a partial pull through orange wig, my hair is black
i never wanna eat cheetos again after seeing this pic LOL
I buy the mini-bags and hold it up to my mouth. Sure I look like a pig with a feeding bag but at least my fingers are clean.
