SALT LAKE CITY — Did you ever dip a nacho into a bowl of melted cheese and slowly lift the nacho up to see how far the cheese would stretch before it snapped? A team at Doritos might have been thinking about the same thing.
To accomplish this feat of modern civilization, a few things were required: a large Dorito, a tall pile of cheese and a helicopter.
The result: 49 feet of cheese stretching into the sky.
Truly, one small step for a Dorito, one giant leap for cheese-kind.

CNN said this was part of a cheese-pulling trend on Tiktok.
The stunt begs a few unanswered questions. How big was the Dorito? Did all the cheese go to waste? How long will this record stand?
