Cheetosis a brand of cheese-flavored, puffed
cornmeal snacks made by Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo. Fritos creator
Charles Elmer Doolin invented Cheetos in 1948, and began national distribution
in the U.S. The initial success of Cheetos was a contributing factor to the
merger between The Frito Company and H.W. Lay & Company in 1961 to form
Frito-Lay. In 1965 Frito-Lay became a subsidiary of The Pepsi-Cola Company,
forming PepsiCo, the current owner of the Cheetos brand. Cheetos has been the
top selling brand cheese puffs in its primary market of the United States.
Ever imagined
this utility of ‘Cheetos’ which even their manufacturers would not have claimed
!!
In
Feb this year, they introduced the new limited-edition flavour -
making it the first and only time Cheetos has made a sweet version of
its iconic crunchy puff in the brand’s 67-year history. With Chester sporting
bunny ears and carrying an Easter basket, it's likely parent company Frito-Lay
is eyeing the kids' market with these. It is cinnamon brown instead of cheesy
orange. From the salty snack brand, Frito is trying to lure the sweettooth...
The domestic goat
(Capra aegagrus hircus) is a subspecies of goat domesticated from the wild goat
of southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the family
Bovidae and is closely related to the sheep.
There reportedly are over 300
distinct breeds of goat. Female goats
are referred to as "does" or "nannies", intact males as
"bucks", "billies", or "rams" and their offspring
are "kids".
The Online Sales is
picking up in India and many retailers are alarmed at its penetration and the
discounts offered. One of the top
leaders, Amazon is globally selling everything online – it is stated that one
can purchase all kinds of lawnmowers from Amazon, from old-fashioned rotary
push mowers to ultra-modern robotic mowers ~and that is not all, - they’ll even
let you rent goats to keep your lawn under control. This eco-friendly service
is being offered in the lawn care section of Amazon’s growing Home
Services. So, one can rent goats to mow
their lawn but not a person to do the yard work ! Amazon’s home turf in Seattle, of course, is
covered. Some California cities should be, too. Ruminant lawn care has been
championed by a couple major tech companies there.
Police
say Cheetos helped them catch goats roaming free in Savannah. Savannah-Chatham
police say these goats, which were found wandering around the city, will soon
be available for adoption.

Police
are crediting Cheetos and teamwork with the recovery of six goats found
wandering in midtown Savannah. “That was
our saving grace,” said Savannah-Chatham Animal Control officer Christina
Sutherin. “They started to follow a Cheetos bag. They ate the entire contents
of the bag.” After metro police were called about the loose pack of livestock
in the road at 52nd and Exchange streets, a patrol officer found the animals
impeding traffic and was able to corral them until animal control could arrive.
“They were foraging,” Sutherin said. “They were just out looking for food. They
were grazing on several people’s bushes and plants, along with some of the
shrubbery there along the side of the road.”
The
small herd created something of a spectacle for residents as it wandered on
Myrtle Street near Burroughs and 48th streets, Sutherin said. One man was able
to contain a juvenile goat in his fenced-in yard, and animal control officers
got the other five contained in another enclosure. A spectator with a bag of
the cheese-flavored puffed corn treats jumped in, and officers were able to
lead the sometimes noisy herd into an animal control vehicle, Sutherin said. “They
didn’t appreciate being handled very much or put on the truck, but for the most
part they were cooperative,” Sutherin said. Part of the trick, she said, was
getting the rest of the herd to follow the large male goat, whom officers have
named Big Daddy Goat.
Sutherin
said the goats belonged to a man who had been cited by property maintenance
personnel for keeping the animals within city limits, which is against
ordinance. He apparently moved them to an area near where they were found – he has since been cited for livestock at large. The
goats, now just “kind of hanging out” at animal control headquarters on Sallie
Mood Drive, will be available for adoption to approved individuals in a few
days. Sutherin said people who live in areas of the county where residential goats
are allowed must have at least 2 acres of land.
This was not the first time
animal control has been called for goats at-large, though Sutherin said it’s
the first time she’s encountered a herd.
“Goats
are notorious for escaping,” she said. “They need to have a very strong
fenced-in area, plus they can jump. They’re pretty agile.”
