The Frito-Lay Cheese powder is nasty on keyboards.

haha.  I can appreciate that, though I also cringe at something so expensive getting that sort of treatment (the keyboard - not the giant cheeto...).

You would probably do well if you fashion a few Lysol Wipes into gloves/mittens.

You should have seen my sister's desktop keyboard. It was all dusty, so I thought she just must not use it at all. Turns out underneath the dust there were layers of spilled soda and coffee and food that had been collecting for the past 6 years that she had it. I didn't even bother cleaning it, just threw it out so she HAD to buy a new one, lol.

well, you are almost there : )

Now you need to eat the cheeto while you type on that very clean looking DAS.

Black and Orange go together like peanut butter and chocolate.
Make sure to take some pictures : )

i'd seen them at the gas station a couple of days before i saw that video posted here. but the ones for sale for 59¢ at chevron are maybe 1/100th the volume of the one in that video. and they did not taste much different from standard cheetos.
