    UPDATE: After consuming a not so fresh 26 year old bag of Cheeto's Cheesy Zig Zags which were probably discontinued by FRITO LAY back in the year 2002, the L.A. BEAST decided to call up the Frito Lay Customer Service number & let them know first hand about his experience. After talking with representative Jewel, she told the Beast that he would be receiving a letter from Corporate within 7-14 business days...and here today, the L.A. BEAST would like to share the contents of this letter with everyone...
    What does the letter say??

    I can't think of anybody else who would do this kind of stuff, eating an extremely expired bag of Cheetos, calling Frito Lay to tell them about it and framing the Cheetos bag along with the letter and the coupons he received, and of course document everything on Clip-Share. You're definitely unique Beast. Also Pepsico is so cool man.

      I actually called my cable internet provider once, network was out, blah blah blah.
      They ran through the checklist, and told me to double check the connections.
      Turns out, among all the high tech spaghetti, the power cord to the modem had somehow popped out.
      I plugged it back in, and everything was humming within a few minutes. Boy, did I ever feel like a yutz. 😖

    This bag of chips was created when I was born. For 26 years it sat, where ever it was, and for that duration of time I grew, I learned, I developed, I cried, I loved, I lost. While I experienced life, that bag of Cheetos had a life uniquely separate from mine, outliving even some people I knew. And here I sit, watching it find it's purpose and complete the task assigned to it by destiny. This video is so humbling to watch.

    The fact it's been 8/9 years since I first saw some of your vids, and coming back to see your channel now it feels like such a time capsule, the energy, appearance, style all feels the same. It's nostalgic for sure, but also just makes me thinking you're living in like this frozen moment of time or just unearthed you from a time capsule.

    • skippy62able
      skippy62able  2 months ago +804

      I 100% disagree. I was not clearly in the wrong. The language on the package was clear. They did not mention this bag is on us only if consumed within “best by date”. It just said if not fresh, this bag is on us. It wasn’t fresh nor did I know it wouldn’t be. I’ve consumed 50 year old Vietnam era M.R.E. ‘S that tasted as fresh as the day it was made

    Pepsico has great customer service. I called about 6 months ago to ask if they were discontinuing the Frito corn chips ( big Fan) as after visiting 6 different large retail stores I was unable to find them in the stores. They said it was a distribution problem due to covid and then sent me several coupons like you received. Awesome customer service.

    • Suburban Garden Permaculture Style

      I can assure you, the Frito will never go away... their top 3 products are doritos and fritos and cheetos.

    You know what I find more amazing and extremely scary at the same time, these snacks were two and a half decades old and although they tasted off, you didn't get sick from them. The amount of preservatives in them must be ridiculously overwhelming. It really makes one wonder exactly what we're putting into our bodies when we eat this stuff. Does that mean I won't continue to eat such snacks, no, but it still amazes me that this is possible. 😅🤣😂

      If there had been the tiniest lil break in the seal they wouldve all turned to dirt by now! Chip bags dont have normal air in them , they use a special gas that keeps the chips super fresh and makes it impossible for oxidation to occur till you open the bag! They used way less preservatives back than!

      I'm reminded of the scene in MASH where Frank Burns is complaining to Colonel Potter that the men are throwing away too much food. Potter asks him why it bothers him and Burns responds "what if the enemy were to get a hold of the food?"
      Potter's response is perfect, "We'd win the war." 🤣😂

      KumaBean Month ago +2

      I’m sure I’ve read that human bodies take longer to decompose these days as a result of all the preservatives in our food.
      Nitrogen is the gas that gets put into crisp/chip packets.
      Not only is it a dry inert gas that preserves the contents of the bag, but it also acts as a cushion to help prevent the crisps from being destroyed in transit.
      People moan about crisp bags ‘being full of air’, it’s not to rip you off, just looking at the price compared to the weight of the contents let’s you know you’re being ripped-off, it’s literally to protect the contents.

      I called customer service after watching the video, just to compliment the professional manner in which Jewel handled Kevin's call 😄. I felt that she did her job very well, with courtesy and good humor, and acted as a fantastic representative for Frito Lay. I told them that I was even inspired to go out and buy some delicious Frito Lay products, thanks to Jewel... I actually bought a bag of "Flamin' Hot Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles", which were new to me, and honestly some of the best chips I've ever had! The lady I got on the line, Kathryn, was both perplexed and amused by the situation, and appreciated hearing from a fan of the one and only, original LA Beast. I was also treated quite kindly, and of course, at the end of the call I told her to "Have a Good Day!"

    One of the learning experiences I had in grade school, back in the 1960's was to write letters to companies. I found the whole thing exciting and learned from that to do that frequently. I have gotten all sorts of things over the years, and it is oddly cool to have the confidence to do it. Before cell phones and google, I could call my local library and ask them for information, which they would find, and call me back. We lived out in the country, and it was hard to get to town, my mom didn't drive, and dad drove truck out of town a lot.
    It is still interesting you ate those things!

    Dear Kevin, LA Beast, Skippy62able, and once again THE MAN!!!
    I am so ecstatic, grateful, and blown away for what you have done with the items I sent you to your PO Box. When all the unclaimed lockers were cut open by members of our maintenance team you were the first person I instantly thought of when I saw those amazing vintage snack treasures inside. I knew in that moment I had to save them from being thrown away and send them into the right hands. The amount of creativity and research that was put into this whole idea makes me truly happy what you've brought to life from these vintage snacks. I'm sending you a thank you package in the next couple of days (no vintage snacks inside unfortunately).
    Have a good day everyone!
    Nick S.

    Hopefully everyone is aware that if you call that questions and comments line, or email their customer service, they will almost always send you a coupon for a free product. I once sent a suggestion to Kettle Chips about putting their tear punch in a different place on the bag and they sent me a coupon for a bag of chips. You don’t even have to have a complaint. They value feedback as data points on their products.

      I mean its definitely cool. But you would think any company would tell you "you should have eaten it before the expiration date".... But since it was 20 years old, they probably allowed a free pass since im sure they had a chuckle

    My Uncle would dial up Frito-Lay, Monster Energy and Nissan Top Roman all the time to claim that this store he shopped at was selling old products at random times. It was a total lie every time but back in the day when he started, he got a physical delivery of a case of soda from one of the companies and he would get SOME COMPANY (different one each month) to mail him free coupons for junk food. Your genuine situation and how you reacted to the coupons is hilarious 😂 I don’t condone doing what my Uncle did. Furthermore..bro, have you eaten like 17 year old peanut butter before? That stuff smells like sunflower seeds..
