So if my friends were in a place where they didn't have access to Hot Cheetos in their lives, you freakin' bet I'm going to bring them as many as I can whenever I see them. Because a life without these fiery chips is truly a tragic one, and no one should ever have to undergo that type of withdrawal. That's why I want to give hella props to Emily Mei, who was stopped by airport security for suspiciously carrying more than 10 bags of the spicy cheese chip in her carry-on bag for her friends in Korea.
Emily posted a video on Twitter earlier this week recalling the time her bag had to be checked by a TSA agent because of the absurd amount of chips she had in her luggage. "Will never forget the day TSA stopped me cuz they thought I was hiding shit inside my bag cuz all I had was like 20 bags of Hot Cheetos 😩," she captioned the tweet.
LOL you guys, when she said she had "like 20" bags stuffed in her bag...she was not exaggerating at all.
In the video, you can see the airport security worker literally pulling each Hot Cheeto bag from her Louis Vuitton tote with their gloved-protected hands, and rubbing them with a wipe of some sort. All the poor girl was doing was trying to be the Cheeto supplier for her friends in Korea, who apparently have a hard time finding the chip in stores near them.
"For everyone who's asking why I had so many bags of Hot Cheetos, apparently it's hard to get in Korea so my friends always ask me to bring it for them LOL," she updated her followers.
Since she hasn't said otherwise, I'm going to assume that our girl Emily and her 20 bags of chips were given the okay to go to Korea. Proud of you, boo. You did it.
We can understand why packing bundles of Hot Cheetos in a bag to a trip to Korea may seem a little sus—so, also shoutout to TSA for being on top of it.
Point being, get you a friend that is willing to jump hurdles for you just so they can get you your favorite bag of chips. If that ain't a real one...idk what is.
