Cheetos® Debuts 'Other Hand' Campaign, an Official Celebration of Fans who Reserve their Dominant Hand for Enjoying Cheetos

Ninety-nine percent of people eat Cheetos® with their dominant hand, which means they need to live their life using their Other Hand... even if things get a little messy. Now, Cheetos officially celebrates those Cheetos lovers who have committed their dominant hand to solely eating their favorite snack with the launch of the Other Hand campaign.

Through a series of new digital spots, advertising stunts and a partnership with 2023 NBA Champion and Cheetos fan Jamal Murray, the brand shows the antics that happen when snackers attempt to use their non-dominant hand because they don't want to stop eating Cheetos.

Tina Mahal, senior vice president of marketing at PepsiCo Foods North America:
 

"Cheetos fans everywhere know the feeling when they need to get things done but their fingers are covered in that beloved orange Cheetle dust."

"Instead of putting the Cheetos bag down, they try out their Other Hand, and things often go hilariously 'wrong.' From missing high-fives to daily task mishaps, this campaign is an ode to the fans who will do anything for their favorite snack. We're showing the world that it's okay to use your Other Hand and embrace the mess."

To kick off the campaign, Cheetos teamed up with Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray to put his Other Hand to the test. Murray, like many other Cheetos enthusiasts, often needs to use his Other Hand while his dominant hand helps him enjoy that cheesy goodness. In fact, fans may have noticed that his recent high-fives have been a little… off. From slight misses to huge whiffs, Murray's recurring high-five mishaps during games are part of his playful dedication to the Other Hand lifestyle. 

 

Cheetos took the mischief to the streets with various out-of-home advertisements across the country, spotlighting everyday people – from copywriters to drivers – giving up precision to keep their Cheetos-eating hand focused on snacking. These stunts included a less-than-perfect parking job in New York City and a New York Times ad riddled with grammatical errors to further highlight the sacrifices made for snack satisfaction.
