Not just any potato chips. My Cheddar and Sour Cream potato chips! My absolute favorite! He was the last one to use the chip clip, so I asked him to put the bag away last night. Now I want them (I am very hormonal and craving salt and fat right now) and they are nowhere to be seen. Not in the pantry cupboard, not on the table, not on the kitchen counter, not left carelessly in the living room. He better not have taken them with him. And he's 1 hour 50 minutes late, according to the time he said he'd be home for lunch. (Not that I mind that too much if he's making money.) Hmph. *grumps*

Have you checked the trash?

I would suspect him of finishing them, in which case he owes you a whole bag.

I did check the trash, although he knows he'd be dead if he did that.

Ooooh, I just thought of a place!

Sure enough, they were in the cupboard above the sink where we keep the cereal, crackers, and other boxes too tall for the pantry cupboard. He put the baby's cookies there the other day, too. [Dont Know]

He just came in. We are going to have to have a talk about not hiding junk food.

I just got done with a bag of cheddar and sour cream chips... weird. I very rarely let myself eat such trash, but today I just had to do it. Are you sending me brainwaves?

I would totally point and laugh and call this thread pitiful if I hadn't been in the exact same situation concerning a bag of "Cheetos" recently.

So shameful.

There are times when puffed hits the spot, though. And I don't get "Cheeto arm" quite as badly with the puffed.

I suppose you think it's an abomination to eat potato chips with ketchup, too.

I think it's an abomination to put catsup on just about anything, yes. Also mayonnaise. But Salt and Vinegar chips are yummy...

Yes! Crunchy Cheetos when you want Cheetos or Cheez Balls when you want a puffy orange powdery snack. No puffy cheetos. They're an abomination.

I'm afraid I may have to go to the snack machine and get some cheddar and sour cream chips. I'm pretty sure there are some in there, and they're starting to sound really good.

Sure, you keep the cheddar and sour cream potato chips for yourself, and bring "veggie chips" to the Shinda. And HUMmus. Sheesh.

Ketchupqueen,
Do you know that in Canada there are Lays' ketchup potato chips, and that they are awesome? I have even seen them in our store this past year.

I ordered some online one time. They weren't as good as using Heinz for a dip, though.

Annie, I am trying to trick my body out of a craving for salty, fatty snacks by eating chile pepper hummus with baby carrots. It is even working.

"I ordered some online one time. They weren't as good as using Heinz for a dip, though."

I am not a ketchup lover, which is why I probably liked them better than I would like chips dipped in the real stuff.

Hey! There is Lays cheddar and sour cream chips in our vending machines!

:munch:

I'm usually a potato chip purist -- refuse to eat anything other than the regular chips, no flavors.

Now you went and made me hungry for potato chips, and I don't have any around the house cause I don't need the salt and fat. [Grumble]

I love potato chips. [Big Grin]

RE: Cheetos.

They are my weakness. Crunchy, puffy, in small ball shapes... no Cheeto is too low nor too high for my sensibilities. All Cheetos have equally arcane powers to bind me to eating a whole bag in one sitting, whether that bag be 8 oz or the 64 oz 'family fun size'.

I can no longer have them in my house. Within moments the bag is opened, the pupils are dilated and the fingers are covered in tell-tale orange Cheetos dusting. They are my master and I... I am their slave.

I think I might have to stock up on ketchup chips before I move to the states. Or get some of my minions here to mail me them periodically.

*mourns the thought of no ketchup chips*

*whine* Hatrack!!!

I'm starving for cheddar and sour cream ruffles, crunchy cheetos and/or hummus (although I generally prefer garlic to chili pepper)

We may have cheetos in our vending machine...

Cheetos are stale. Usually Mooselet is the only one to eat them, and I guess I don't give them to him often enough to keep a "Super Size" bag from going stale. Oh well. I wonder what I'll have after I finish them....

They should call their chips "freedom fries," and until they do we won't cater to those crisps-eating bastages!

I don't like any thing with powery orange cheese stuff on it, so more for the rest of you. But I'll take sour cream and onion or salt and vinegar chips. The best are "crab chips" but they're not available in land locked states.
