I preferred the Old Dutch Cheeze Sticks. I thought if I was going to have something bad it might as well be flourescent.

I have to agree. Cheetos!!! I have very fond memories of eating Cheetos. They were so addictive.
The orange fingers and the bubbles in your mouth when you took a sip from a Cold Coke in a bottle. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

I love them too, so yummy!!! Did you ever notice they didn't have an expiry date? That's because the radioactive isotope used to preserve them had a half life of 2 million years. That's at least another million years longer than it would take for the plastic bag to decay! Cool huh?

Absolutely love the Hawkins Cheezies. Great with beer or a nice dry red wine. :clap2:
