    The caption seems pretty clearly not true, but assuming it were, there’s no way the rest of those aren’t going stale before he’s done with a quarter of the first one he opens.

      I bet it’s the start and or end of the run or something. Cheeto seconds. Maybe he slipped a guy $60 and the guy didn’t have to carry them to the dumpster.

    I wouldn’t have thought that the bags cost so much. They’re not that big. How much did the Cheetos inside them cost?

      Assuming the guy is 6 ft, those bags look roughly to be 2m X 1m X 1m, using that and a bit of chatGPT to do the maths because I’m lazy, we’re looking at roughly 2,500 large bags of Cheetos per clear bag

      Which I’m guessing is only if the cheetos are packed perfectly at maximum density

      But even if we half it and for every cheeto, there’s an equivalent amount of volume as space, then we’re still looking at a lot of bags, this is a bargain at approximately 5¢ per equivalent large bag

      The maths it did in python apparently:

      import math
      
      # Dimensions of a Cheeto
      length = 0.05  # in meters
      diameter = 0.01  # in meters
      radius = diameter / 2  # Radius is half the diameter
      
      # Volume of a cylinder V = πr^2h
      volume = math.pi * (radius ** 2) * length
      # volume = 3.93x10^-6
      
      # Volume of the bag
      volume_of_bag = 2  # in cubic meters (2m x 1m x 1m)
      
      # Number of Cheetos that fit in the bag
      number_of_cheetos = volume_of_bag / volume
      # number_of_cheetos = 509,296
      
      # Number of Cheetos per large bag
      cheetos_per_bag = 200
      
      # Number of bags needed
      number_of_bags = number_of_cheetos / cheetos_per_bag
      # number_of_bags = 2,546

      The Cheetos in the bags cost that much, not the bags themselves.

      How did you infer the plastic bags themselves cost the entire price?

    good to know that if I ever felt inclined, I could fill a room with cheetos for roughly 2000 at this price point.

    good. to. know.

    He spent $1,820 to be known as “The Cheeto Guy”, the food itself will be eaten but the real enjoyment will be his satisfaction from buying odd little fame. Dude sat down and decided to buy himself a “hail corporate” personality.
