The Color of Fear: What Cheetos Dye Did to a Mouse Will Haunt You: They say you are what you eat. But what if what you eat could see right through you? In a quiet lab, far from the noise of public scrutiny, researchers rubbed a common food dye—the same yellow powder that gives Cheetos their infamous glow—onto the skin of lab mice. At first, nothing seemed unusual. Just a little orange dust on fur. But then… something changed. Within minutes, the mouse’s skin began to change—rapidly. The fur thinned, then the flesh seemed to melt into translucence. Before long, the creature’s skin turned completely transparent, revealing the delicate web of blood vessels underneath. Its organs pulsed visibly, like something out of a horror film. It wasn’t an illusion. It wasn’t a trick of the light. It was real—and it was terrifying.
