My PS5 started making a noise like a tiny angry ghost trapped inside it last Tuesday.

Turns out a single Cheeto from a late-night gaming session had somehow migrated into the fan housing. Anyone else had a snack-related console crisis?

A single Cheeto, that's a new one. My old PS4 sounded like a jet engine because I used it as a coaster for my coffee mug for a solid year. The heat warped the plastic base. I'm not a smart man.

That coffee mug coaster thing is brutal, @matthewp52. My buddy killed his Xbox One by leaving it on a shag carpet. It sucked in so much lint and dog hair the fan just quit. We opened it up and it looked like a fuzzy gray brick inside. He had to buy a whole new one.
