In talking to other nurses in my area, they are serving the demand. The high school only sells spicy chips like the spicy Doritos and flaming Cheetos. Our population is almost entirely Hispanic and the kids love these damn things. I'm sure the snack sales in the cafeteria help make up our insanely underfunded school, I just wish the spicy stuff was taken out of the mix at least.
edited to add: I'm In a large urban district so our local school has literally zero control over the atrocious food choices whether it is donuts for breakfast or any of the other processed crap we serve. It saddens me to see the free school tray thrown out in lieu of chips, even when it is crappy food choices.

Same here. My school is K-8 and 68% of our students are Hispanic.

Flaming Hot Cheetos vomit is quite impressive and colorful and smells a lot like battery acid. They might be a good substitute for ipecac syrup.

Sorry, I LOVE Flaming hot Cheetos, but I can eat Habanero peppers and only think they are warm. I love hot food, but just wait till one of your students puts contact lenses in after handling these peppers (and I speak from personal experience - forgot I had handled them, as I had washed my hands - the oil is persistent!) The pain is excruciating, but it DOES go away after much eye watering!
