PepsiCo Foods Canada
"Cheetle in Cheadle"
Citizen Relations
Cheetos lovers know all about the iconic orange dust found on their fingers after eating a bag of chips but few are aware of the official term for the dust: Cheetle. So PepsiCo Foods Canada, with Citizen Relations, erected a 17-foot statue of a hand holding a Cheetos Puffs snack in the tiny Alberta hamlet of Cheadle – “Cheetle in Cheadle.” The statue caught the attention of the public and drew tourists, and even got a mention by actor Don Cheadle. Mentions of “Cheetle” increased by 1,750% and Cheetos Puff snacks experienced a 23% increase in national sales.
