In 1503, the great Renaissance artist, Leonardo da Vinci, found himself stuck in a creative rut.
As he sat amidst his workshop, surrounded by half-finished masterpieces and scattered sketches, he reached for a snack. His eyes landed on a bag of Cheetos, and in that moment, inspiration struck!
Thus, da Vinci began to see the world in a different light. He envisioned the curves of the Cheetos as the perfect model for his Vitruvian Man.
The rest, as they say, is history. Or, in this case, Cheetos history.
