That cheese dust has some serious history! Cheetos bronzer? Uhh, this is a joke. Or is it? The bronzer was creamy and orange, but sadly, did not taste or smell like cheese. However, the fragrance reportedly contained hand-extracted cheese oils, so it sounds like the name Cheeteau was right on target!

Upon entering the exhibit, snack-food aficionados were greeted by a life-sized statue of Chester Cheetah made entirely of Cheetos, of course. The creation of artist Christiam Ramos , the Cheeto-based statue required 30 family-sized bags of Cheetos, stood more than six feet in height, and took hours to construct. Cheetos snacks, oddly enough, aren't the only edible medium in which Ramos works.

In this commercial spot, Chester was costumed as a skateboarding Sanders, delivering a tray of the limited-time-only Cheetos Sandwich to some hungry skaters. The sandwich, available in , was described by Eater as "a comfort food mashup" consisting of a "crispy chicken filet that's smothered in Cheetos sauce" sitting atop a layer of actual Cheetos, all wedged into a bun.
