Take a trip to the refrigerator wherein you will surely decry the presence of that “purple stuff” and reach for Sunny D instead. Matches well with the alluring crunch of the Cheeto. This will leave an elegant dusting of cheese protein concentrate on your fingers for a bout of after-snack licking to relish long after the last enriched corn meal morsel is consumed.
