3/17/2003: Giant Chee-to displayed



A few weeks ago, in a Cellar thread, I (roughly) pointed out that the world was a good place because someone was selling a giant chee-to on Ebay.

This is the one! It turns out that it's now in the hands of a small Iowa town, who plan to put it on display somewhere.

With Chee-to technology, anything is possible.

Truly magnificent, UT.

Also, I like your new tag. I like her too... always had a thing for female standup comics.

Wait, Live with Jimmy Kimmel is still on??? Wow. Maybe I should watch it. I was assuming it'd be cancelled within a week.

ebay cancelled the auction for the second time (which was up to 57 million or something goofy like that) and the original owner donated the cheeto to the town, which was desperately in need of a tourist attraction.

I wonder how they'll store this sort of thing. Air tight chamber, and hope it doesn't rot or otherwise decompose? Limited time tourist event, I suppose.

Yea the show is still on.. in the DC area the ABC channel doesn't show it but since i use an antenna I get whatever i can get including the Baltimore ABC wich shows it.<br> It's great he has a new co-hoast each week and even Janeane Garafolo was on as a co-hoast, she was funny. When a guest comes out on stage they all do shots of Vodka.. even though they call it something else.. I think one week it was orange juice but when they poured it out it was clear. Last week it was purple cough syrup.

It occurs to me that the IotD blog view people don't know that we're talking about the Cellar user title, of which mine is currently "Still likes Janeane Garofolo".

As for Kimmel, without Adam Carolla, Jimmy's just a big ol' jerk with a mic. This might be OK on cable, but on network it's ridiculous.

Question What's that?

Hi!

Please excuse my ignorance, but... er... what is a "chee-to"?

A chee-to, commonly referred to as "cheesy love", is the finest dining one can have. Created and distributed by the Frito-Lay corporation, chee-tos (pronounced "chee-to") have a long history of greatness.

I refer you to http://www.cheetos.com for more information.

This is why a war with Iraq makes sense! Unless we can depose the horrible dictator, Saddam Hussien, people in Iraq will not be able to see the giant Chee-to! Because of their government's repressive rules regarding computers and the Internet, they were not even allowed to bid on the Chee-to when it was on E-Bay!

The news today said food relief will be the first thing in behind our army, let's hope they remember to bring Chee-tos!

Viva la America!

Do not taunt us with cheesey goodness, infidel! That is why we hate America!

The guy in the picture is holding a "standard" Chee-to, which is puffed corn coated with a bunch of chemicals intended to put you in the mind of something similar to cheese but not exactly cheese.

It is the final product of decades of snack food research.

Wouldn't the final product of decades of snack food research be those Cheetos that turn green when you add spit?

It is displayed inside a lovely Lexan(R) box on a blue or purple velvet pillow (complete with tassles). I know it was Lexan, because they apparently sponsored the box (it had a Lexan sticker prominently displayed on it). I don't have any word on the sponsor of the pillow.

Knowing what I know about Chee-tos, rotting or decomposition shouldn't be a problem.
