Keep per amended CFI - widely used without context:
    • 1980, Patricia Vernier, The California Factor, p. 41:
      Her stomach could survive any patchy appeasements, but she couldn't find the damn Cheetos anywhere in the kitchen.
    • 1982, Roger Rapoport, California Dreaming: The Political Odyssey of Pat & Jerry Brown, p.156:
      Or, they could follow the example set by their new boss, who crammed concise lists into pockets stocked with Cheetos munched in lieu of lunch.
    • 1991, Joseph T. Tobin, Dana H. Davidson, Preschool in Three Cultures: Japan, China and the United States, p. 161:
      You get fights over food, or the kids make trades, like they trade their whole sandwich for three Cheetos.
    • 2002, Rida Allen, The Legacy Tree, p. 4:
      Changing into her bathing suit, she promised her parents she would be careful, grabbed a bag of Cheetos and set off with Peanut toward the pier.
    • 2003, Bryna Siegel, Helping Children with Autism Learn, p. 209:
      If he says, "I want Cheetos," thank him for asking, and give him a few Cheetos.
    • 2005, Julia Slavin, Carnivore Diet, p. 211:
      He stealthily glided into the kitchen, looked at all the food, daintily picked up the bag of Cheetos and went to sit in the dining room.

I haven't looked at all of them, but I think the three quotes from Preschool in Three Cultures, The Legacy Tree, and Screamfree Parenting are good, which would be enough to pass. DAVilla 02:44, 14 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
