Chester Cheetah used to encourage Cheetos eaters to mess with other people. Now, he'll screw with anyone, including the Cheetos eaters themselves. In the "Piano" spot below, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, the English-accented cool cat helps one music-store clerk annoy another—the latter of whom just wants to get orange grit all over his fingers in peace. This revelation—that Chester is a dick regardless of what snack food you eat—is refreshing in a way. It's nice to see the mascot abusing the customer instead of the other way around.
