“[My friends and family] are proud of me for following my passion,” social studies teacher Roddy Story said.
Cheetos have been influencing Story’s life for many years. Although this problem is ongoing, Story speaks out about it and how he deals with the addiction.
“The Cheetos problem has been plaguing me since my teenage years. It wasn’t as big of a problem in high school because I had a fast metabolism, but now every time I eat Cheetos, I get immediately fatter,” Story said.
When Story was asked to describe his feelings for Cheetos in a song, his response was “Everlasting Love.” His addiction to Cheetos began when he was a young boy.
“It was like the sun had shone for the first time,
I think I was seven. The sky got a little bit bluer, the sun got a little bit brighter. In fact, the Beatles song ‘Here Comes The Sun’ started playing. [I had the same feeling] when I got married and when [my son] Walker was born,” Story said.
Story’s biggest problem is that Cheetos are considered to be socially unacceptable due to them being both fattening and messy.
“I can’t eat them as much as I want to, so I save the empty bags and just sniff the Cheetos dust at the bottom for a quick fix,” Story said.
As Story explained, some addictions are an everlasting love.
Story mentioned that if there were ever to be a discontinuation of the Cheetos snack, he would do anything he could in order to get that last bag of Cheetos.
“I would go get it, by any means possible. I would steal a car; murder. That bag is mine.”
