Thanks, my 2 thoughts I had as a kid that I still believe at age 40:

1) A lot of the adults are pretty fucking dumb.

2) Stretching is stupid.

Good post, btw :)

This again. I can't believe people have resorted to bashing methheads (only if they're white, mind you) and saying they can't know what it's like to have a hard life because their skin isn't dark. This is despite the fact most of the welfare checks go to the black community. White people really love self-flagelation, don't they? I guess if that weren't the case, bands like Radiohead wouldn't exist.

This isn't even pointing out, btw, that more unarmed white people get killed by cops more often than black folk do. Or that most of the crime is committed by black folk despite them being a very small minority in the US population, so of course cops are going to run into them a lot and this in turn will of course, mean more confrontations between cops and black folk (yes, I know I said more whites get killed by cops but given the population difference, the fact that blacks ALMOST reach white folks' numbers is pretty eye-opening).

On top of that, most of the cities going to shit due to the "protests" are democrat-run states. So, I guess systemic racism is due to the democrats running things...? If someone could genuinely explain this to me, I'm all ears.

Pretty sure by now that Sour Cream and Cheddar chips don't exist in Canada. It's a bummer not being able to try the best chip... ah well, back to all-dressed.

you and i are in total alignment on the chip universe, but I don't eat chips all that much so take that for what it's worth.

easy way to upgrade a bag of regular fritos: eat them with a good slice of sharp cheddar. Fantastique.

Awesome read! If you want to take your tastebuds on a little trip to paradise, I recommend Frito Pie: Chili, shredded cheese, sour cream, and Chili Cheese Fritos. So good.

also, I honestly think Pringles are a little gross and weird in that the texture is different than any other chips. I feel like Pringles are to chips as Sunny D is to orange juice. It's like, it's not quite the real deal.

as someone who creates logos for a living, absolutely fucked to learn about the 'TiT' in Tostitos being two people enjoying chips... wtf? Apparently, I've just been blindly shoving snax into my facehole.

Salt and vinegar chips are a sandwich topping. Eating too many makes the tongue do squirrelly things, like licking the toilet tank lid in a savory bar.

I am reading this while sitting at my kitchen table with a margarita and eating Tostitos Hint of Lime. They are so good! That’s funny. I have cheese dip and salsa left over. There is only enough cheese dip to satisfy one person. If I were to let my kids know that there is a small amount of cheese dip in the house for them to share it would turn into an argument. Therefore, I sit here hiding the cheese dip behind the Tostitos. I didn’t know what Dots are until you explained what they are. I thought you were talking about that horrible hard gummy candy you get at the movie theater. I like those pretzel things and thanks for the mustard recommendation. Reg Lays are the bomb and Ruffles with some French onion dip and red wine is so good to me. Trader Joe’s has a caramelized French onion dip that is really good. You should try it.
