LOS ANGELES — An after credits scene in the new Flamin’ Hot Cheeto origin story features Chester Cheetah hinting at forming a bag of Munchies, the popular Frito Lay product that features a combination of several popular snacks, sources have confirmed.
“We’re so excited to begin the extended snacking universe, or ESU,” said Steve Williams, CEO of Frito Lay. “After Flamin’ Hot‘s premiere on Hulu and Disney plus today, it’s going to be what Iron Man was to the Marvel movies back in 2008. We sure hope it is, at least, or else we’re really going to be out on our ass. We’ve really put a lot of money into our whole vision here. We think in a few years when Munchies comes out, however, it will all have been worth it. We can’t just rush into something as ambitious as Munchies, though, you understand. We have to build up to it.”
The scene, which plays after the closing credits of Flamin’ Hot, features the iconic Cheetos mascot waiting in the home of Frito Lay executives, and sees him making a wisecrack about “a little bag,” he’s putting together before cutting to black. The teaser not only confirms Chester Cheetah’s appearance in future pictures, but hints at a lot more things yet to unfold.
“Wow, sign me the fuck up,” said one attendee of a recent test screening. “I’ve been waiting a long time for them to make a movie about my favorite bag of chips, and now that they have, I’m just so excited that it’s only the beginning. Gee whiz, first they made movies about my favorite shoe, then my favorite old cell phone, and now this. Cinema really is alive and well!”
As of press time, Frito Lay had shocked the cinematic world by announcing that Martin Scorsese would be directing the Sun Chips origin film; Harvest of the Sun.
