• Does your candidate support Cheetos?

  My daughter loves Cheetos. LOVES. CHEETOS. Personally, I don’t care for Cheetos, but whatever; there are plenty of things that I love that she doesn’t. Yesterday when I picked her up from camp I had a small bag of Cheetos waiting in the car for her, a snack for on the way home. As she was eating them I thought I’d ask her: What would you do if they stopped making Cheetos?

  After a moment of silence, she replied that if she was the mayor, she would order them to make Cheetos. A year’s supply of Cheetos, actually. And if they didn’t make the Cheetos, she’d put them in jail. IN JAIL! There would be ingredients in jail for them to make Cheetos though, and once they made them, she’d let them go.

  As you can see, her plan revolves around her becoming the mayor. Which, isn’t too out of line I suppose, my husband’s grandfather was the mayor, perhaps it’s in her genes. However, I’m pretty sure he did NOT hold the power to incarcerate someone for making, or not making, Cheetos.

  I asked her: What if you weren’t the mayor, and someone else was? And this mayor doesn’t like Cheetos so they ordered the makers of Cheetos to NOT make Cheetos. Then what?

  Oh that’s easy, she’s simply not going to vote for them.

  And there you go. It all comes down to Cheetos.
