The Cheetos brand is commonly recognized by association with its second and current mascot, an anthropomorphic sly, smooth-voiced cartoon cheetah named Chester Cheetah. Chester first appeared in television commercials in 1986, known for concluding Cheetos advertisements with slogans, which have evolved over time.

The cheese puffs' greatest quality, Witherly says in the article, is its ability to melt in your mouth. “It's called vanishing caloric density… If something melts down quickly, your brain thinks that there's no calories in it…you can just keep eating it forever.”

Flamin' Hot Allegedly Launched a Janitor's Career In 1976, a Frito-Lay janitor named Richard Montañez managed to get a meeting with the CEO about a spicy new flavor of Cheetos that Montañez had been creating in his spare time. The CEO loved the recipe and it eventually became known as Flamin' Hot Cheetos.

Popular snacks like Fritos and Cheetos, which are made of highly processed corn, contain little to no nutritional value, according to The Daily Mail. That's because once corn snacks are fried, loaded with sodium and tossed in cheese, "they become some of the unhealthiest things you can eat."

Cheetos are scientifically proven to be addictive. Once you tear into a bag, it's hard to stop, and there's a reason for it. According an Oxford study, the brain associates the crunching sound with freshness, so you might be convinced that what you're eating is more appetizing than it really is.
