I've been wanting to run this poll for months.  Now that I'm laid up with a bad knee, and I need a break from picking fights at THR general, I can ask - Why the cheeto hate? 

Sure, they're the favorite snack food of basement dwelling, wookie suited politicos, but for more than sixty years, the Cheeto has been a staple in the snack food realm.

What say you?  Will the recent bad press diminish your cheezypoof love?
Are these sponge chips nothing you'll let cross your lips?

Have at it.

edit to add:  I like the crunchy ones

I prefer the crunchy ones.



I also tend to limit my intake, due to the dreaded orange finger syndrome.

I like the dynamite hot crunchy ones.

I actually find the Wal-Mart Great Value crunchy cheese puffs to be better than the name brand Cheetos.  The GV brand is perceptibly cheesier.

There's a really good cheese doodle we sometimes get at Walgreen's. They have a lot of cheese coating on them which is pretty good.

I also like the really big round container of cheese balls we sometimes get at Menard's.

I must admit that the original crunchy Cheetos are my favorite, but I like to try lots of different brands as well.

I just never cared much for them.  I'll eat a few sometimes when they're available at a party or something, but they don't tickle my tastebuds much.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I much prefer the crunchy Cheetos.  For some reason I always end up having to pick the puffy ones out of my teeth.  

I also like the Crunchy Cheetos as part of the Munchies "Cheese Fix" snak mix:

I voted other, since my bagged cheese snack of choice was Andy Capp's Hot Fries.  I've pretty much quit eating anything chip or cheeto like in my moderate effort to lose some weight and return to a reasonable level of fitness.  It seems to be working.

Puffs for me but I have a weakness for Planters cheese balls.

They still make those? I thought they pulled them off the market years ago. And yes, they are VERY good.

Crunchy.

The hot ones really didn't do anything for me, but apparently little kids love them.
