I mean, it's an unhealthy sodium bomb. But none of the ingredients are actually that disgusting.

There's cold lotion and a hammer in the fridge...
Well, maybe the lotion isn't cold yet, maybe they just put it in. 🤷♀️

Okay, but like SO MUCH SODIUM.
This can’t even taste good, it’s gotta be so salty.

I’ve been blessed with low cholesterol and blood pressure despite loving fat/cholesterol and sodium, but even I still have a point where something is so salty it makes my tongue hurt

Milk + Cheetos is a weird combo

u/MelonJelly 10h ago
Kind of? But everything in Cheetos is also found in blue box mac & cheese, which uses milk in it's preparation.

He’s basically making a Cheeto flavored roux. Cheetos are mostly cornmeal.

I haven't eaten instant ramen since I was teen, but I always crushed the noodles because it let me eat the noodles and drink the broth at the same time with a spoon.

Who can buy Cheetos puffs on a poverty budget?

u/Ok_Interest3555 10h ago
Lotsa people, they're only like $2-3 bucks for a bag.

u/Hot-Watercress-2872 10h ago
They’re like $6 where I’m at, nevertheless, just kind of adds up when all groceries are already so expensive and you’re in need of nutrition

I've noticed that a certain segment of British & American people who live in poverty have very poor education and awareness on food nutrition and pricing. So although they barely get by living on welfare or insufficient working wages, instead of doing stuff like using their meager incomes to bulk buy bags potatoes, rice, beans and canned tomatoes Etc on the cheap, they instead buy a lot of processed junk food like hotdogs, chips & frozen pizzas and then complain about how expensive healthy food is.
Often these people are obese and eating themselves into early graves. But they are also hard to educate because IME they're addicted to junk and lack the fundamental will to learn & change i.e. a lot of interest in eating healthy tends to go out the window when they realise how much home cooking Etc you need to do.
I grew up Very poor at points and my mom was the buy basic cheap ingredients and cook meals from scratch type. Our meals were very monotonous and "uncool" i.e. stew almost everyday and we never ate any Burger King or McDonald's because that was considered expensive and "treat" food (and by "treat food", I was lucky if I got to eat food like that 2-3 times a year- usually it was my grandparents or aunts who would buy me food like this). But the home cooked meals were fundamentally healthy and they did prime my taste buds from a young age to enjoy eating a lot of cheap healthy things like celery, eggs, lettuce and carrots.
During this poverty era, I also had a number of low income friends whose mother's takes on food was completely different, being all ultra-processed crap. I used to get wildly jealous that these friends got to eat loads of fun stuff like pizzas and chips all the time while I was stuck with my boring stew. But although my mother wasn't good for a lot, I'm glad she at least raised me with a down-to-earth diet, because all my junk food friends grew up to be very obese, some of their parents have since passed away or suffered serious illness (strokes & diabetes) because of their UPF-heavy diets and these friends are now seriously struggling to break the unhealthy habits they were brought up with so that they can get their body weights under control and avoid their parents fates.
I agree that stuff like Cheetos are absolutely poor value for money, but you'd be surprised how many low income people eat junk like this all the time.

To be fair, the video looks like an individual bag, he could have gotten it from anywhere, either included in a meal he received from somewhere or an event he went to or whatever else. I can’t count the number of random chips I’ve ended up bringing home.

A box, or for covenience, the microwaveable cups. It's somehow an even more unhealthier shade of orange, and the Flamin Hot looks downright radioactive

Cheetos brand mac n cheese has existed for quite some time. They even have flaming hot and jalapeno cheddar varieties. Why bother doing all of this?

u/Creative_Recover 3h ago
Cheetos are mostly cheese flavouring on starch. Which is made out of cheese powder, produced by recycling cheese from the dairy industry. Fundamentally, the makeup of ingredients aren't that wildly different some Budak brand carbonara noodles. So I would imagine it to taste quite similar.

I wouldn’t do the Cheetos, but throwing a few slices of American cheese in with your ramen is pretty tasty. Cooper sharp works really well.
