Cheetos Archives - Good Living Guide

A Texas woman has landed herself in hot water after she jumped into a zoo enclosure to feed the monkeys some Hot Cheetos.

CHARMED BY THE ZOO MONKEYS

In May, Lucy Rae was visiting the El Paso Zoo. Apparently, she was so charmed by the spider monkeys that she decided to join them in their enclosure.

She had to climb over a low fence, clamber down a hill and wade through an artificial lagoon to reach them.

Her stunt was caught on security cameras and quickly went viral.

NATURE’S ACROBATS

Spider monkeys live in the forests of South and Central America. Extremely acrobatic, they are known for their ability to swing easily from branch to branch.

Like all monkeys, spider monkeys are endangered.

HOT MESS

Animals in captivity eat a carefully controlled diet. It closely mimics what they would eat in the wild. We’re pretty sure Hot Cheetos are not on the menu.

Besides the danger to their diet, there are other dangers.

STUPID AND LUCKY

Wildlife experts say interfering with wild animals is traumatic for the animals and risky for humans. Monkeys will attack if they feel threatened, and spider monkeys are strong.

Rae, they said, was “stupid and lucky.”

PAYING THE PRICE

Rae ended up paying the price for her stupid stunt. The next day, the law firm that employed her announced it had fired her.

In a statement, the Lovett Law Firm said Rae’s actions were “irresponsible and reckless.”

It could get even worse for Rae. Zoo director Joe Montisano told the El Paso Times he intends to press criminal charges against her.

MANY CALLERS IDENTIFIED HER

He also said many people called the zoo to identify Rae after seeing the video. “Your friends will rat you out,” Montisano warned.

Let’s hope that deters anyone else who’s thinking about getting up to some monkey business.

The need to stay isolated at home is forcing some people to come up with creative solutions to their problems. One young man discovered that his dog could help make quarantined life more bearable.

A Crunchy Craving

Antonio Munoz is a young man in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, who really loves Cheetos and other salty snacks. Unfortunately, Mexico has instituted a strict self-isolation policy to combat the coronavirus.

Under the law, trips to the convenience store for a bag of crunchy, orange goodness are not considered essential.

After three days, Antonio’s craving had reached the point where he had to do something.

A Done Deal

He hit on a smart solution that involved his dog Chokis, an adorable chihuahua. Antonio wrote a note to the owner of a convenience store across the street from his home. He strapped the note and some money to his dog’s collar.

The note asked the store owner to give Chokis a bag of Cheetos and take the money from under his collar. Antonio also warned the store owner that Chokis would bite if anyone messed with him.

Chokis hit the streets and successfully closed the deal.

“Hello Mr. Shopkeeper. Please sell my dog some Cheetos, the orange kind, not the red ones, they’re too hot. She has $20 attached to her collar. WARNING She will bite if not treated right. Your front neighbor.”

Funny Photos

Antonio watched the transaction take place and posted pictures of it on his Facebook page. He captioned the pictures, “Day three of quarantine and I wanted my Cheetos.”

A Useful Dog Trick

After that successful run, he decided to give it another try. Chokis has come through every time. The clever pup has now been out three times to fetch his master’s favorite snacks.
