The brand makes its mischievous mark in Cheadle, Alberta with an impressive homage to Canadians' cheesy, orange-dusted fingertips
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Oct. 4, 2022 /CNW/ - Cheetos lovers are some of the most passionate snackers in the game, and they know that you can't enjoy the cheesy snack without getting your fingertips a little —okay, a lot—messy. That's why, today, the Cheetos brand is proud to unveil the Cheetle Hand Statue in Cheadle, Alberta—a monumental celebration of the iconic orange dust, Cheetle, in a hamlet that sounds just like it.
The Cheetle Hand Statue (CNW Group/PepsiCo Foods Canada)
That's right, Canada, there's an official term—and now a statue—for the powdery residue that's left behind after eating your favourite Cheetos snacks—whether it's Puffs, Crunchy or new Cheetos Popcorn. In fact, according to the dictionary, " Cheetle is the brand name for the powdery residue that gets on your fingertips while eating the savoury cheese snack, Cheetos." The more you know…
"Cheetos fans have always known that the delicious, cheesy dust on their fingertips is an unmistakably delicious part of the Cheetos experience, but now it officially has a name: Cheetle" said Lisa Allie, Senior Marketing Director, PepsiCo Foods Canada. "We're excited to be celebrating Cheetle and Canadians' cheesy, Cheetle-dusted fingertips on such a grand scale and in such a uniquely mischievous way."
Large, unconventional monuments have been popping up around the world for years, and now Cheetos is making its orange mark in Cheadle, Alberta. The Cheetos brand, rooted in mischievous fun, was on the lookout for the perfect home for its statue until it came across a hamlet in Alberta with a kindred name, Cheadle. (What could be more perfect?) Standing at almost 17ft tall, the Cheetle Hand Statue is of a hand proudly holding a Cheetos Puffs snack, with its Cheetle-dipped fingers boldly on show in central Cheadle.
"Cheadle is proud to be home to the Cheetle Hand Statue. Where else could the Cheetos brand honour the iconic Cheetle, if not here", said James Gosteli, President, Cheadle Community Club. "While our residents will be the first to see the unique monument, we can't wait for the rest of Canada to see it for themselves!" Canadians have until November 4 to visit the Cheetle Hand Statue on 400 Railway Ave in Cheadle, AB and pay homage to their love of Cheetle and Cheetos snacks IRL. If you stop by, make sure to share your photos of you and the statue on social media by tagging @cheetoscanada and using #CheetleinCheadle and #ItsaCheetosThing.

This will sound weird, but...eating Cheetos with chopsticks keeps your fingers nice and clean (until you drop one). It is also good practice for not embarrassing yourself in front of your date at the Chinese restaurant.

Should I order like the # 11, or maybe the Moo Goo Cheetos with rice and no MSG?

Also works great on any other dusty snack, like Takis. I like Fuego Takis, but hate having red fingers.
A set of dishwasher safe chopsticks are super cheap, and very convenient to have at home. And not just for Cheeto snacking either. There are lots of foods that are just as easy or even easier to eat with chopsticks than a fork (once you've mastered using chopsticks). Basically anything that's at least semi-firm and already in bite-sized portions.

Man goes to his Doctors Office for an issue with his pecker, it’s turned orange.
They run all kinds of tests.
Finally Doc does a physical exam.
Man says Doc the suspense is killing me! Am I gonna die?
Doc: No Sir, you’re healthy. But you need to stop watching porn while eating Cheetos!
That’ll be $750! .

What if you prefer the crunchy non puffy Cheetos do we get a statue too? We crunch Cheetos eaters demand equal representation, or we're gonna tear that down, with gloves on, so you don't know it's us....

Do you bring your own bag of Cheetos?
Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day

I loves me some cheddar jalapeño Cheetos, and I am serious about protection.

Serious Gastro Protection right there. No one will touch your guts for sure. Except I hope that's not a S&W on the left, but OK I guess for cheese thingys. Nice blades.

Jalapeño Cheetos be da bomb. Regular are too bland and Flamin' Hot just too much. Jalapeño just right.
