« Beyond "Knowledge" | Main | The Game-Changer » A Cheeto Interlude25 Jul 2008 11:21 am
Spencer was inspired by Joe Scarborough to try out some Cheetos. "They start off good," remarked Ackerman, "but there's a rapidly diminishing return. Soon you wind up eating because you don't want to leave the Cheetos in the bag but you start pining for a tastier snack." He recommends pretzels or Fritos as superior alternatives. Comments (39)
I'd love to see a debate between Ackerman and Scarborough about Iraq. I'd give Smirky Joe three minutes before he was trying to deflect facts with 'jokes' about hippies and Saddam just needed a hug. 
Pretzels over Cheetos? Sad and pathetic. There's no hope for the younger generation at all.
Either a bad angle, or he's starting to head towards MY/MA style corpulence. Which undermines the Scarborough attack.
Are you sure Spencer hasn't been eating his Wheaties rather than Cheetos?
He recommends pretzels or Fritos as superior alternatives Typical liberal.
Time to shave dude.
Spencer's mom's couches don't match. What's up with that?
He recommends pretzels You know who else likes pretzels? Bavarians! You know who was from Bavaria? Adolf Hitler. This is the most egregious example of liberal fascism I've yet encountered.
Wow, I think Al just made a joke. I think.
He's not shirtless and I see no Hanes. Fail.
Scarborough specifically said the bloggers are barechested. What are you trying to hide?
Absolutely pretzels. Either the standard loop or thicker stick. With either you can dip the pretzel in Dr. Pete's Praline Mustard Sauce. A thin pretzel doesn't really have much scooping potential. I imagine 99.44% of you all haven't tried Dr. Pete's Praline Mustard Sauce, and I couldn't describe it. It doesn't taste like anything I've ever had before. But, of course, if you get addicted to Dr. Pete's, your snack bill is going to get ruinous. Not my fault. "Always dip responsibly" is my motto.
I hope Cohen doesn't see the tats.
Is there even a debate about Fritos besting all other snack foods? Corn, dude. Corn.
The ONLY things wrong with Cheetos are they make your fingers orange and sticky and they stick in your teeth too well. They set like concrete if you don't clear them out quickly. Fritos and pretzels.... psshhaw.
See, the problem is that Spencer is eating regular Cheetos, not Baked Cheetos. Baked Cheetos stay delicious until the very last, tiniest morsel. Regular Cheetos, because of the extra amount of grease, begin to coat your mouth and prevent you from tasting the cheesy goodness. Oh, and quit talking about Cheetos. Between you and Morning Joe, this is going to be the third day in a row I'll need to eat them. Mmmm.... Baked Cheetos.
All this talk of Chee-tos and no mention of the bizarre orange residue they leave on your fingers?
"You know who else likes pretzels? Bavarians! You know who was from Bavaria? Adolf Hitler." Actually, Hitler was from Austria, not Bavaria. Conservatives can't even be factual in their snarks?
Eating pork rinds gives bloggers an irresistable urge to write about Iggy & the Stooges.
Scarborough only respects bloggers who are surrounded by empty Absolut vodka bottles and who drink their way out of their first marriage.
I've never liked Cheetos -- they're like compressed styrofoam packing peanuts coated in cheese-flavored, fluorescent road-construction spray-paint. I might even eat Funyons before Cheetos, and I don't like Funyons.
I feel kind of guilty for being surrounded by fried chickens as I write this post...
Pepperidge Farm Pretzel Thins. Munch without guilt.
CHEEZ DOODLES!!
He's just pouring them into his face. Like a wild blogbeast. Raw!
On the other hand, you can eat Chili-Cheese Fritos all fucking day long.
Actually, Hitler was from Austria, not Bavaria. Conservatives can't even be factual in their snarks? You know who else likes Cheetos? Norwegians! You know who was from Norway? Benedict Arnold! So there!
Stephen A., you have pointed to the clear omission in this debate of the role of cheese doodles. Everybody knows Cheeto eaters are only liberals because Chester Cheetah was a brainwashing tool of the liberal media. Only those of us who grew up on the larger, more robust "doodle" variety have managed to come out the other end with unbiased opinions. Clearly "doodles" are the superior puffed cheese snack food.
These are actually pretty good, though I cannot afford moneywise or healthwise to eat them regularly: http://www.fritolay.com/our-snacks/cheetos-natural-white-cheddar-puffs_panel.htm
Chester Cheetah was a criminal. His love of cheetos drove his every action. I doubt it would have taken much to radicalize him to violence. It only stands to reason that you dirty smelly shirtless hairy hippy liberal bloggers would enjoy the same snack that a borderline bloodthirsty terrorist cartoon cheetah enjoys. Just turn yourselves in now and avoid the humiliation of having Morning Joe TAKE YOU DOWN!
Scarborough is exactly the kind of ugly American who needs to be sacrificed in some kind of Aztec ceremony. At the very least he needs to be bent over backwards and have a flaming hot cheetos enema shoved up his flat stupid ass. Some kid gave me one of those flaming hot ones and they're inedible. Your mouth is Chernobyl for at least 10 minutes.
He is starting to look kind of doughy. Cut out the junk food and get some exercise.
I'm not familiar with the baked-Cheetos. Do they glow in the dark, too?
I have that exact same blue and white puffy chair!
Ackerman is JUST NOW eating Cheetos for the first time? Was he deprived as a child? What's the story with that? I mean, do you know anyone who has never had a Dorito or a Pringle?
Pork rinds? What are you, some kind of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle? Raphael: So what are we gonna do? Splinter's out there somewhere. You want orange sticky fingers, eat the Sour Cream and Cheddar Lay's Potato Chips like I do. Or get red sticky fingers from the Barbecue Potato Chips. Cheetos are for the true lower class. They're for people who think Maggie Gyllenhaal is better looking than Katie Holmes or Kate Beckinsale.
For the true Scarborough effect, please have him rub Cheetos into his bare chest.

Moral? Munchies are a great snack food. You get your pretzel indulgence before Cheeto overload hits, and its all in the same bag!
