The Omniscient Orange Tries to Control
I couldn’t resist adding a comment. I really need to be doing stuff to resolve my stuff with other stuff, but decided I need a break (obviously).
I recently purchased a large bag of Cheetos to create unique Trumpster projects and photographs with. It didn’t take long to realize it will possibly take 2 or 3 cases and dealing with the greasy orange residue they leave behind. (Hmm, a possible analogy!) You may be asking why I need so many Cheetos for a project? No, I am not using Cheetos to build a model White House from, although orange would be an appropriate color.
The problem I was confronted with is threefold. First, moments of anxiety caused me to eat them by the handful (I don’t even like them). This is reflective of a growing concern. After the 2016 election, “binging on disliked foods/snacks increased exponentially” a study in “Psychology Extremes Today” revealed, “This politically motivated phenomena altered the harmless binging on comfort food for stress relief to a dangerous behavior at the self destructive level.” I fear for many Americans who are unaware of this condition and its severity.
Secondly, a destructive mood sets in. I mindlessly started breaking, smashing and destroying Cheetos. I pulverized 30 of them using a large rubber hammer in a matter of minutes. It was a mess, but had a calming therapeutic effect.
The third and final issue was a question. Would the calming effect be more effective on larger scale? With the help of the local fire department, the Cheetos bag was placed in a grease fire burn pit and set ablaze as a training exercise. The preservatives and additives added a nice color to the fire, but other than taking an hour for all the grease to burn out of the Cheetos, it didn’t provide any additional stress relief.
So, I concluded, in order to complete a project, I will need more Cheetos than I had expected. I will focus on pulverizing them with my rubber hammer to reduce the quantity needed.
One last question. How do you remove the greasy orange residue “they” leave behind?
