Buddhas Carved Out of Cheetos

If you were thinking what we were thinking — then you’ll agree that there’s just not enough Cheetos-related art in the world. Japanese artist Koshi Kawachi looks to change all of that, with a series of 107 Buddhas carved from a Cheetos-like Japanese snack called umai-bou. Officially-titled Tasty Buddha, the puffy snack series was part of Umai-botoke: The Snack Age — an exhibit of these and other junk food art.

And, if you’re into food-related moments of zen, perhaps Buddha could hold your butter for you too.
