Hollywood actor Chuck McCarthy and his girlfriend who are self-isolating together were left with only 1 Dorito which made them think who would eat it.
The couple decided to put the precious piece of Dorito under a glass bowl to save it for later.
But Chuck who couldn’t resist himself eating the one last piece planned to do something that would blow your mind. He told Bored Panda, “We don’t know when we’ll be able to go to the store again because of the quarantine etc., and there was a lot of discussion over who got the last full Dorito, so my girlfriend and I decided to save it.”
He said they used to eat Doritos every day but now due to the lockdown they can’t. They had purchased several bags of Doritos to spend their quarantine period eating them.
“Before the quarantine, we’d have Doritos every now and then. We both love them,” Chuck told Bored Panda. “They’re comfort food, which is why we bought several bags going into quarantine, but it’s a hard chip to have self-control over when they’re in your house. You know. Have you ever had just 1 Dorito? Or just 15 Doritos? We kind of blew through the bags, which is why we said we weren’t getting more, making that last one precious.”
Chuck planned to make a paper mache replica so he can steal the real Dorito and eat it. He said, “I used wet toilet paper to sculpt a basic Dorito triangle. Added a little glue and yellow and ocher watercolor for color and structure.”
“I put the ‘chip’ in my toaster oven to dry it out. “I [picked up] the watercolor paints I was using on an illustration to give the wet TP a base yellow. I dried it mostly in my toaster oven, which I’ve since cleaned, then added more coloring, glue and tried to mold it,” he explained.
He never thought that this creation of fake Dorito would take 3 hours. Chuck continued: “I knew I couldn’t paint the spice specks on the wet TP without the watercolor paint spreading. I went to bed around 5 am. The next day, while my girlfriend was on a conference call, I tried adding actual spices from the old bag.”
“Added a little more color and glue, then let the “chip” dry overnight draped over an old pen, to give it the same wave form as the original. With the basic chip done and dry, I tried to figure out the distinctive Cool Ranch Doritos seasoning, red and green specks.”
He got worried when the watercolor paint spread too much so he decided to use the real seasoning from the old batch.
Chuck said, “I was worried that the watercolor paint would run and spread too much, so I decided to try a suggestion from the comments of my original post, and use real seasoning from the old batch that I fished out of the garbage and cut open.”
“I tried placing the seasoning on the “chip” but even with scissors and tweezers, it was impossible. Apparently, the only surfaces that the spices will stick to are Dorito chips and your fingers. Silver lining: Cutting open the bag gave me access to some missed crumbs.”
Chuck then used a needle to paint Cool Ranch red and green specks on his forgery. “I was almost positive my girlfriend was going to get off her call and catch me. It was a race against time,” he said.
“I was going to wait for my girlfriend to go to sleep to pull off the switch, but… my girlfriend decided she needed to take a bath, giving me an opportunity to pull off a daring daytime heist. And…”
Chuck’s girlfriend is still unaware of his mischievous act but she was glad that he cleaned the toaster oven. Chuck said that he and his girlfriend will definitely get more Doritos when the shops start opening.
“We need funny things right now,” he said. Chuck admitted that this pandemic has made a huge impact on his and other people’s lives.
He added: “We’re staying inside.
We’re wearing masks. I have no work or auditions or even side hustles, and my girlfriend is working from home now. Because our apartment is basically her office during the day, I find myself staying up super late doing art projects and posting stuff online, trying to not feel totally unproductive.
Of course, like everyone else, we try to buy a bunch of groceries at a time, so we go to the store less and we’re cooking at home way more than before.”
