You are probably referring to chipmunks. I don't think they actually have pouches in their cheeks (marsupials (kangaroos, wombats, etc) are the only pouched animals I know of), but Chipmunks certainly do use their cheeks to hold food. Humans do it too, though it's poor table manners to take a bite that big. Unlike chipmunks, however, we don't usually run around until after we've swallowed.
