Artist Preserves a Bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos in a Sarcophagus for Future Civilizations to Discover

If something is worth doing, it’s worth overdoing. This is something that the artist Sunday Nobody understands. And preserving Flamin’ Hot Cheetos so that future civilizations can revive the practice of eating them worth doing.

Let’s face facts: civilization is on its way out, what with TikTok and flared pants and whatnot. In the style of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series, it’s time to prepare for the coming collapse so that the interregnum between now and the restoration of order and culture is as brief as possible—perhaps just a few thousand years.

Sunday Nobody is doing his part. He built a concrete sarcophagus that contains a single bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos along with the ingredients list engraved in gold leaf. The bag is itself encased in plastic and suspended on spring-loaded wires to make it seismologically stable. Then he buried the sarcophagus in the ground with a headstone instructing people to open it in 10,000 years, when humans will presumably be ready for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos again.
