    Theorists, Cheetos are cow food. That's it, that's the Tweet - I mean video. Listen, I LOVE me some Cheetos. If you pop open a bag, I will not say no! That does not, however, change what these crispy snacks are. They were MADE for cows! Still don't believe me? Well, sit back and grab a snack. This will blow your mind!

    Fun fact: pizza started off in Italy as literally just scraps leftover from kitchens after hours which would be whipped together into a makeshift meal for beggars that was considered to be literal garbage to the culinary world. Nowadays, you’ll have to pay 20 some dollars just to get a slice of the stuff in some places and pizza is considered to be a favorite food to many (including myself).
    As an Italian-American this story has always fascinated me and I bet it could make for a good theory (or documentary of some sort)!
