Cheesus: Jesus Found in a Cheetos Bag


Ah me. Jesus has made yet another food-based appearance, this time in a Cheeto cheese curl. Why is it so often food? Is Jesus bored with the bland cracker at communion? I guarantee taking communion will be much more popular if they substitute Cheetos.

These stories are always so silly. Yes, that particular Cheeto looks vaguely human. Yes, it might even look--again, vaguely--like our traditional image of Jesus. Well, if Jesus was quite deformed. . .and orange. I know I'm repeating myself, because in my brief time blogging this is at least the fourth thing either Jesus or Mary have "appeared" in.

My biggest questions are, 1) if Jesus (or his mom) want to appear to humans, why is it always in a kind of stupid way? Wouldn't the Jumbotron in Times Square be a little more effective? And, 2) what the heck makes you think it is Jesus (or moms) anyway? We don't know what either of them looked like, and even if we did, lots of people look like that. This Cheeto could just as easily be Willie Nelson.

Can you see Jesus in this Cheeto?
A couple of years ago, the youth director at Memorial Drive United Methodist Church in Houston was snacking in the church youth offices when he noticed an odd-shaped Cheeto. Upon further inspection, Steve Cragg determined he could see a familiar image of Jesus in the shape of the cheese curl.

One of the church youth named the item in question 'Cheesus. . .'

  1. I concede that the Cheeto in question does somewhat resemble
    Jesus. If so, all the other Cheetos must be Jesus' droppings, because he was in that bag a long time before it was opened. When he had to go, he went! Sort of gives new meaning to the expression: "Eat Shit!"
