Ha! We actually did class wide simulations like these when I studied poly sci. I would love to see them try it out as a way to communicate their different policies and how they intertwine.

Hey! I use chopsticks for Cheetohs. I can tell you that the orange crap will stain plastic chopsticks.
And, yeah, the debates are stupid.

Chopsticks for Cheetos is brilliant!
I usually use one hand for the duration and sanitize it afterwards.
From now on, I’ll use (disposable) sticks.
Actually, that’s probably exacly what marketing people are trying to manipulate!
chigau (違う)says
chopsticks aren’t just for cheetos
they are good for all situations requiring one clean hand
unclefrogysays
that is a pretty good idea but I do not think you could get any two candidates to agree to do that. it would require too much thought, honesty and humility and probably interfere with image, projection too chancey
If I could bring myself to eat cheetos I might try using chopsticks I could finally learn to use them

Sad that the ‘best idea ever’ for a presidential debate is to hold something that actually resembles a debate.
Chopsticks also make excellent tools for manipulating dental floss.
Politicians are often tools as well.

I learned the chopstick trick watching anime. Apparently it’s a thing in Japan.

Caine @10:
You must be eating the puffy type of Cheetos. I would think if you tried it with the crunchy type, the fork would just shatter the Cheetos. That is, if you are poking the fork into them and not scooping them with the fork. ;-P

I just unhinge my jaw and pour the bag contents down my gullet. Then I slither onto a warm rock and digest for several hours.
What a Maroon, living up to the 'nymsays
And to think that all these years I’ve been using Cheetos as chopsticks.

My mind immediately went to a rude place. And I don’t think chopsticks would be very effective.
I had a similar idea years ago when I was a fan of Donald Trumps show, The Apprentice. :P

A guy goes to doctor because he has an orange penis.
The tests turn out negative for any common condition and when the doctor questions him on his occupation he says he’s unemployed.
“Well, how do you spend your days?” asks the doctor.
“Watching porn and eating Cheetos.”

David Malki ! is fargin’ brilliant. I heartily approve of any post that links to not one but two of his strips. That is all.
Wait, that’s not all. I want to add that I really like this one too. OK, now that is all.

Don’t eat cheetos. Or am I engaging in victim-blaming?
Marcus Ranum says
PS – they are colored safety orange for a reason. And it’s not to signal “ripe! edible!”
