If You Lure the World’s Largest Cheeto to Rural Iowa, They Will Come

An Iowa DJ spearheaded an effort to bring the world’s largest Cheeto—for the uninitiated, Cheetos are a crunchy American snack product coated in a thick, orange faux-cheese powder that inevitably ends up caked on your fingers—to rural Northern Iowa in an effort to stir up tourism. The super-sized Cheeto, which is comparable in size to a small lemon, was discovered when Navy Petty Officer Mike Evans, stationed at Pearl Harbor, bought a bag of Cheetos for his 3-year-old son. Does this sort of thing happen in other countries, or are Americans the only people who will travel thousands of miles to see junk food?
