Also, not because they make my fingers a cheesy mess, because I like to clean my fingers by sucking on them after eating Cheetos. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m disappointed because I was hoping the Star Wars Twisted Cheetos would tell me that I belong on the Dark Side of the Force. Instead they told me I&#8217;m on the good side of the Force. <\/p>\n<p>So how did the Star Wars Twisted Cheetos tell me I belong on the good side of the Force? <\/p>\n<p>When you eat a bag of Star Wars Twisted Cheetos, which look like normal Cheetos, they will either turn your tongue Yoda Green (good side) or Darth Vader Dark (Dark Side). I bought two bags of it and both of them turned my tongue green, meaning I&#8217;m a good guy.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you maybe thinking that this is a good thing, but I REALLY wanted to be on the Dark Side of the Force, because women love bad boys.<\/p>\n<p>Look at Colin Farrell and Russell Crowe. Both bad boys and both loved by women all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>So I guess it&#8217;s true that nice guys do finish last. Well I&#8217;m tired of being a nice guy and I&#8217;ve decided to be a bad boy so I can get all the women to like me.<\/p>\n<p>First, I&#8217;m going to get myself a tattoo and get a couple body parts pierced. Maybe I&#8217;ll get a tattoo of a dragon on my back and a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Prince_Albert_piercing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Prince Albert<\/a> (Warning: Link not safe for work.) because those things would really make me a bad boy.<\/p>\n<p>Then I&#8217;m going to get me a motorcycle, because women love bad boys on motorcycles, no matter how ugly the guy is. Either a nice Harley-Davidson or maybe a street bike. Also, I&#8217;m not going to buy a helmet, because I&#8217;m a bad boy and I live my life on the edge, baby!<\/p>\n<p>Ooh, I also have to get drunk at a bar, get into a fight, and get arrested by the police. When they arrest me, I have to be dragged because a bad boy would disrespect authority. If the cops beat me, I&#8217;ll just tell them, &#8220;Naw, that didn&#8217;t hurt. Do it again!&#8221; That&#8217;s what a bad boy would say.<\/p>\n<p>Oh wait. I forgot. <\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t get a tattoo or a body piercing because I HATE needles and I have a very low threshold for pain. I can&#8217;t get a motorcycle because apparently they don&#8217;t come with training wheels. I can&#8217;t get drunk because I&#8217;m usually the designated driver. I can&#8217;t get into a fight because I&#8217;m such a wuss that I&#8217;ll probably get knocked out by a midget.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder what else I could do to be a bad boy?<\/p>\n<p><small>(Editor&#8217;s Note: Thanks to MSNBC blogger and occasional Impulsive Buy reader Gael Cooper for introducing me to Star Wars Twisted Cheetos.)<\/small><br \/>\n<b>Item:<\/b> Star Wars Twisted Cheetos<br \/>\n<b>Purchase Price:<\/b> 99 cents<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Delicious just like Cheetos.
