My twins sister and I were eating a bag of Cheetos and I started reading that back of the bag out loud. It said something like "Warning. Eating Cheetos can be dangerous..." The bag then proceeded to name off all the warning signs, like the orange fingers. So without reading anymore, we panicked and washed our hands and mouth-- terrified we were going to die or something. I went back to the bag to read the rest of the warnings. Turns out the punchlines at the bottom. I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure it said something like, "Cheetos are dangerously Delicious."
