Devon is the 6th of 7 children in his family. Growing up, with 7 kids, food (especially snack foods) didn't last long in his home. Anytime his mom came home from the grocery store with Oreos, Cheetos, or Soda Pop, they were gone in a flash! If you didn't get your share...it was gone before you knew it.In H.S, Devon would always tell me how he couldn't stand Cheetos...he didn't know why...they just grossed him out!
One day, his older sister overheard our conversation, about Cheetos, and confessed to him that when he was 5 0r 6 years old she told him that Cheetos were POOP so he wouldn't want to eat them and she could have them to herself.
If you look at Cheetos, you can see how, in a 5-year olds mind, they look like POOP.
Poor Devon!
Not only was he missing out on Cheeseburgers with ketchup, lettuce, and tomato (one of many things his "super-taste buds", as he likes to call them, couldn't stand), but was missing out on Cheetos too!
Now, 25 years later, he decided to put Cheetos Puffs to the test! He thought he might like the "puffs" since they don't look like POOP.
After one bite...he was addicted! His fear of eating POOP is gone!
In fact, he is soooo addicted that Cheetos has become a MUST NEED staple in our home. He has eaten them with his peanut butter toast, in the morning, with his sandwich at lunch, and snacks on them during American Idol!
He is CRAZY for Cheetos Puffs!

Cheetos Puffs are VERY good, I do like them. I am glad that Devon got over his fear of eating poop.
That is so funny that Devon's sister was so successful at fooling him. I thought it was the grossest thing when I first saw it, but I do have to say, it IS addicting!
aren't siblings great for a tease? My sister always teased me that I was adopted because I was the only redhead in the entire family of cousins etc. I almost believed her a couple of times. I love cheetos too, but I hate how the kids hands turn fluorescent orange after eating them.
That is hilarious. About two years ago, McKay would not eat chips of any variety. He had never tried them, but had made up his mind that he didn't like them. I made him try them one day, and now...he eats them all the time. What was I thinking? Why was I not happy one of my children wasn't eating junk? I think it was the principle of the thing.
That's so funny...Devon and his super taste buds! I want some cheetos!
Maybe he'd like broccoli now too! Did his sister say something gross about that too? Oh Devon!
That is so SAD!!! I'm so glad he got to try cheetos and truly enjoy the taste of heaven that they are. I can't buy those at all or I eat way too many. It was so nice to talk to you today. Hope you finished all your lettering and are free to have a great weekend. My sister and I are just about to go to the movie.
Hey Kimberly! Thanks for visiting my blog. I totally understand where Devon is coming from. When I was like 7, me and my brother had a ketchup fight in my mom's car. For like 5 years I hated ketchup. I definitely like it now, with cheeseburgers and Cheetos. I think I might have to go eat some now. :)
That is a ringing endorsement if I've ever heard one! I don't ever buy chips unless we've traveling but a friend introduced me to the Puffs and we always been them on the road!
Oh I'm so with him on this one! I love them dang things too! Can't stop eating them things once I start! ♥
Your family is so hilarious. I'm glad that you are continuously willing to try new things and expand your horizons . . .
Ha!Ha! That is so funny!!
Hey!
I'm so glad that Devon now knows the goodness of Cheetos. I like that he's trying to make up for lost time.
I bought my ticket to Utah! I'm so excited!
Hey!! Maybe there is hope for other foods being introduced to those "super taste bud":::::::))))))))) Good luck,!!
Maybe he'll chance some cold cereal someday(hohoho) with no siplings sticking out their tongues full of cereal which made him hide his face behind the cereal boxes on the kitchen table so he could not see them....gross....
That's pretty funny. Its weird how things we don't even remember from our past can have such an effect on us into adulthood.
I think it would be impossible for any of us not to have some little qwerk or other, without realizing it even.
