According to Cheetos, 99% of people snack with their dominant hand and The Other Hand campaign imagines what it would be like to continue snacking and go about daily life completing important tasks with a non-dominant hand. [Cheetos'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handsfree-house) newest campaign captures a sketch artist's failed drawings, plastic surgeon's botched procedures and other humorous predicaments that [loyal fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skittles-obsessed) might face as a result of refusing to put their snack bag down.

"From missing high-fives to daily task mishaps, this campaign is an ode to the fans who will do anything for their favourite snack," said Tina Mahal, SVP of marketing at [PepsiCo Foods North America](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lays-x-messi-chip-bags), in a press release, "We’re showing the world that it’s okay to use your Other Hand and embrace the mess.”

Through a series of out-of-home ads and a 30-second video, Cheetos playfully dramatizes the consequences of a snack too good to give up.
