Flamin’ Hot Cheetos gets pharonic treatment

A bag of the spicy crisps has been entombed in a 1.5 ton ‘sarcophagus’ that Tic Toker – builder @sunday.nobody hopes will preserve the iconic snack for 10,000 years. He says Flamin’ Hot Cheetos (FHC) may be the best salty snack ever created. And he wants folks far in the future to get a taste of its magic. How far in the future? 10,000 years!

His plan centres on a reinforced concrete box with the official FHC ingredient list engraved on its lid. Inside there’s a bag of Cheetos encased hermetically in a block of clear polymer resin and suspended from all surfaces within the big box by non-corrosive wires, in case of earthquake or whatever. Sunday.nobody says his monument is perfect. “The only heartbreaking thing […] is knowing I’ll never see it get found.”

Novelty Alert: Man eats 40 Chickens in 40 days

A Philadelphia man, Alexander Tominsky, set himself the challenge of eating a whole rotisserie chicken a day for 40 consecutive days. And he did it. But not without considerable discomfort and learning some important lessons. The former restaurant server decided he might make a few people smile if he pulled a chicken stunt. Well, he did more than that! As he cleaned up the final crumbs of the 40th chicken, and held up he plate in triumph, he was crowned The Philly Chicken Man. The Pennsylvania Historical Commission even erected a plaque, the final words of which proclaim: “It was not a party.”

And that’s the skinny…

… On what’s going to be making some of us a little fatter now through the coming Holidays. See you back here in 7 with a whole edition of Fast Food Week!
