The first time I saw this commercial, I completely thought of my kids (my CCA students). I couldn’t remember who sang this song but I remember hearing it being played during dodgeball for the gym class. My CCA kids LOVED hot Cheetos!!! I remember that for every single Kleenex raffle I had for 12 years, The students ALWAYS wanted a big bag of hot Cheetos as their prize if they won.
I clearly remember my first year teaching and there was something going on in school and the kids had bags of Cheetos that they were eating for lunch that they had to eat in my room. My Mom had just dropped off a smoothie for me because I was eating completely organic back then and I was hitting it hard! The kids were sitting at their tables and eating their lunch. I was drinking my smoothie. I watched them eat as I sipped the straw of my smoothie and I told them, “I could NEVER eat red food!”
I remember a student who sat toward the back responded with, “But, you will eat purple food?!” The shake I was drinking was purple. I looked down at my shake and started to laugh. A student gave me one hot Cheeto to eat and it was completely DISGUSTING!!! I told the class that I will never eat red food again! Artificially red food! It took a couple times for me to watch this to remember who sang it.
So when I found out it was Fall Out Boy, I had to search for a video and I found one that I will leave here because it reminds me of my kids. My CCA kids:
