Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, probably one of the most popular snacks of all time, has just been immortalized by a TikToker named @sunday.nobody. Continuing his knack for funny yet interesting meme concepts, which include a 21st-century religious manuscript that’s actually a robot-written transcript of “Shrek”, his latest elaborate creation took four months.
According to Insider, the sarcophagus is 3000 pounds, made of reinforced concrete, and was built to withstand the wear and tear of time. More specifically, to bury a single bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos “for future civilizations to find.”
Posted to TikTok on November 6th, the video has since gone viral, gaining over 10 million views. In the video, viewers can see the process of the Seattle-based TikToker building the sarcophagus from scratch. It’s clear that few things can inspire such a level of dedication as a tasty bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Either that or just plain boredom.
Fortunately, he had some help from a friend to achieve his mummified snack dream, although that didn’t save him from getting some bruises. From molds and dyes to Jimmy-rigging a way to flip over a 900-pound headstone, he finally managed to complete the sarcophagus. For the final touch, laser-cut on the headstone for future humans, or aliens to find, are gold-letter ingredients for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.
Afterward, he purchased a bag of the spicy snack and cast it in resin before placing it inside. To ensure it lasted damage-free from any potential seismic activity, he cleverly suspended it using a wire string. With the Flamin’ Hot Cheeto bag absolutely safe and secure, he put a hermetic seal on the sarcophagus and buried it.
At its burial site is a monument with the inscription “Historical artifact buried below. Do not open for 10,000 years. Year buried 2022.”
Naturally, the comment section went wild, with one TikToker saying, “This may be the best way to describe our generation.”
Betting it may inspire a future following, another comment read, “My man is starting a religion in the future 💀.” Unnecessary Inventions, a popular inventor of unnecessary things, was even impressed, commenting, “The dedication to this project is astounding.”
With thousands of comments, the one that probably best encapsulates everyone’s collective feeling is, “The only heartbreaking thing about this is knowing I’ll never see it get found.”
