Should I Add Chitos to Pasta?
I love innovation and, for the most part, I think the value of some foods is doing us all a disservice, but some things cannot be justified and this blonde needs to be stopped.
Watch. If the mashed potato fiasco taught us anything, it’s that I don’t know how to distinguish between sincere (but bad) posts about food and frank posts with shit, and further investigation showed that I was cheated again. I really thought Getty (whose TikTok is mostly about very cool hula-hoop videos) was genuinely advocating for people to brew Flaming Hot Cheetos and toss the resulting intensely red goo with Kraft. So silly.
Anyway, I did it and got Joel to do the same, and you can watch the horror unfold at your leisure. I did not expect that I would have liked Getti’s Mac ‘n’ Cheetos, but I was surprised by how much he was not impressed. It wasn’t good, but it was very, very soft (and red). Melting corn snacks into a paste produced a substance that tasted not like cheese, but mass-produced corn gruel, and the Flaming Hot powder, which was not in vain applied to the outside of the snack, was completely hidden. (If you want a Mac that really looks like the Flaming Hot Cheetos, you can buy the box for about a dollar. Thanks capitalism!)
Aside from wasting perfectly good Cheetos, the most annoying thing about the Mac Getti was its aesthetics. This is one of the ugliest food I’ve ever cooked and I hail from the land of aspic and jelly salads. But the real horror unfolded after Joel and I said goodbye and turned off the cameras. You see, what Getty misses is that once this unholy marriage between Kraft and Chito cools down to room temperature, it turns into a very nasty ball of mass food horror. I hated this. I still hate this. I will always hate this.
