The Flaming Hot Cheetos… They get in your MIND!

No Flam­ing Hots Week!

Orig­i­nally uploaded by SR

If I may use the ver­nac­u­lar for a moment, ele­men­tary school bul­letin boards are no joke! This board from one of the schools I work with edu­cates young­sters about the dearth of nutri­tional value present in flam­ing hot chee­tos and encour­ages them to eat health­ier by chal­leng­ing them to take a week off from eat­ing the afore­men­tioned flam­ing hots.

For those of you not hip to the urban ele­men­tary school young­sters’ taste in chips, let me say that the flam­ing hots (prefer­ably in their ubiq­ui­tous cheeto form, but also pop­u­lar their frito incar­na­tion) are the top of the charts.

As one stu­dent remarked recently, “the flam­ing hots, they get in your MIND”.

While my iphone cam­era does not do jus­tice to the board, let me assure you that it was awe­some enough to draw the atten­tion of one who’s seen far too many ele­men­tary school bul­letin boards over the past 8 years.
