    Woah - I generated a question!! Cool...

    Dear DAvid,

    Cheetos were never sold under the "Cheese Toes" moniker. "Cheese Toes" was the name the inventor, Charles Elmer Doolin, originally gave them, however, when the product was tested on focus groups, they invariably said, "Keep the flavor, lose the name." Interestingly enough, the "Cheetos" name was suggested by one of the members of the final focus group.

    Chester Cheese Toes had to change his name as well.
