Monday Morning Mock Draft: All Dressed, Father

Guten Tag, drones.

I’m whipping this up at 11:24 pm EST, not because I forgot about it but because out 14-year-old cat deigned to sit on my lap as I watched the USA-Dominica game, (the Dominicans got absolutely hosed on the called 3rd strike, and that umpire needs to be investigated for gambling), and when that happens I simply am not allowed to move.

The circulation is just now returning to my knees.

So let’s make this quick.  This week we draft potato chip flavors.  In order to increase the draft pool the same flavor can be drafted more than once, so long as it is the same flavor by a different brand.  The brands often make a big difference:  Lay’s for instance, although the featured image, makes trash chips that are too thin and that fall apart if you try to put some onion dip on them.

Do better, Lays.

(fun fact, is you take the comma out of that last sentence is the advice the counselor told Brett Favre during marriage counseling)

We are drafting potato chips.  You cannot take Doritos, or Fritos, or tortillas chips, or anything other than a potato chip.  You will anyway, but you can’t and it won’t count.

With the first pick I will take the classic flavor, sour cream and onion.  The brand I will go with is Connecticut’s own Deep River Snacks and, coincidentally, from Deep River, CT.

Kettle cooked and crinkle cut, as God and Sonny Jesus intended.  Also Deep River donates a portion of each sale to charity, (and a different charity for every flavor, which is neat), so you can feel a little less guilty about loading your cardiovascular system with a bunch of greasy salt.

The rest of you are on the clock.

More on this in the evening thread but it took my two sons, my wife and a quad with a plow only 6 hours to clear out our driveway. I was, uh, ‘supervising?’

/that quadriplegic really held her own after the second whipping, gotta say

Unsurprised

It wouldn’t have taken a second whipping, but whipping the human head requires good aim.

Tim’s All-Dressed, thick cut are the GOAT.

—–

I’ll just take this opportunity to opine on chip in general.

Tim’s has Dungeness Crab chips. Those are good. They taste like Old Bay. Pretty tasty.

Tim’s Jalapeño – genuinely spicy, so that ways nice.

Tim’s Smoky Pepper Bacon – again, thick cut. They do taste like pepper bacon, and they’re really good, I haven’t seen them at the store recently when I was in the mood to buy junk, so, that’s something.

Tim’s Secret Sauce – not really anything special. I guess it’s supposed to be like McDonald’s sauce or smash burger sauce, but it doesn’t taste like that.

Tim’s Hot Honey – yeah, that’s what it tastes like.

Hawaiian Luau BBQ – too sweet.

Hawaiian Sweet Maui Onion – too sweet.

Lay’s All-Dressed – Technically the same flavors as Tim’s, but they are not nearly as good.

Lay’s Chili Limon – Too acidic

Lay’s Bacon Grilled Cheese – Dogshit

Pringles Pizza – same as pizza-flavored Goldfish, which is to say that it’s vaguely marinara flavored and forgettable.

Pringles Carnitas – Actually, pretty pretty good. Tastes close enough to pretend

505 Hatch Green Chile – Pretty close to green chile. Too sweet, though.

505 Hatch Red Chile – Pretty close to red chile

505 Salsa Con Queso – I don’t know what that’s supposed to taste like, but it is just vague and forgettable

I’m here late today so I assume all the good stuff is already taken, but that’s ok since I don’t eat potato chips all that often nowadays anyway so when I do eat them I’ll just legally tamper with y’alls picks or something

WCS

Redshirt caught flak earlier, but I’m with both of you. Unless they’re crabby chips, or a restaurant makes their own in house, I’m pretty meh on chips.

yeah right

The pride of Burlington Iowa and one of the finest chips I’ve ever consumed.

They were featured on a Sunday Gravy episode too.

Before the corporate takeover by Snyder’s, these were the finest chips I ever had. They still exist, but not quite the same.

OK second round. Something tells me my choices here have little risk of being Blair Witch’en.

Three thoughts-

1.) “Now introducing Rustica Maxxx! All the flavor, twice the rust!”

2.) An insult that few folks could come back from: “You’re dumber than an Italian potato chip!”

3.) “Rustica-ribbed for everyone’s pleasure.”

2Pack

Those ribs may just be a Ruffles rip off I think…

I have nothing to add (usually get store brand as my white trash heritage demands) but this post is making me very hungry.

Those look good

My wife announced last night she was making chicken meatballs. My grandfather would have been horrified. So to offset that I smoked a pack of Camel filterless, smashed down a six pack of Bud heavy, drank about three miniatures of Carstairs bourbon, and proceeded to ruin the dinner with crass jokes, random yelling, and pushing my dentures out of my mouth to terrify my children.

2Pack

First round. These are really good. Old school.

Here goes the Pic format game again.

Apparently 1936 is a year that is remembered fondly in Italy?

In 1936, Fascist Italy, led by Benito Mussolini, solidified its imperial ambitions by completing the brutal conquest of Ethiopia, culminating in the proclamation of the Italian Empire in May and forming Italian East Africa. Internationally, this led to ineffective League of Nations sanctions, prompting Italy to align with Nazi Germany, creating the Rome-Berlin Axis. 

2Pack

The San Carlo company had nothing to do with all of that background noise. They simply strove to provide the best snack food to the people catching on time mass transit.

I’d be worried about the expiry date on those chips.

Another Mock Draft I can’t participate in. What? I don’t like chips.

It’s an important source of sodium and fat molecules that force you to exercise for limited periods of time. It’s cheap and easy like LowRatio, it costs next to nothing, you can eat them off your stomach, there are so many varieties.

/somebody’s been play-acting as an American all these years!

It’s not that I don’t like chips, it’s more that they all seem to be cooked in sunflower or whatever oil and that’s all I can smell, so don’t eat much of them

So good, you’ll crash a boat into a bridge to keep others from getting them first.
Ah, I can feel the heartburn already!

I’ve been trying to edit the picture of this!

If I Blair Witch’d, we’ll need a ruling. I saw your post, but without an image of description, I didn’t realize this is what GG was trying to claim.
Get Lowratio out of his holding tank…

No, you successfully posted before me. You win this time, Mr. Bond!

Some people say it was a fad, but apparently it sold well enough to be mass produced decades later

Pennsylvania chips are great, and these are the GOAT. Notice this is Snyder’s of Berlin, not those Hanoverian imposters

New York Deli Style potato chips.

In the purple bag.

You folks in New York know.

scotchnaut

These were a revelation-there’s nothing similar around here and that liquid smoke taste (which I can’t stand) that passes for bacon flavoring is subdued.

1. Ruffles Cheddar & Sour Cream. Simple. Classic. Delicious.

But a bigger bag than is shown in the image, of course.

would be right if bag was sized to actual amount of chips in them

These are great dipped in ketchup:

Going for the nostalgia factor here. Dick Chips in a Box! Hostess had the market sewn up so the only way Old Dutch could make any headway was to give you a shit ton more for the same price.

Arizona is going to beat Long Island University so bad that all the dead sharks washing up on the sideline will have Viejas Arena looking like the Port of Kesennuma.

This is my joke after reading that LIU depends heavily (#2 of tournament teams) on 2-pointers and gives up a ton of offensive rebounds. Line is 31

Brick Meathook

Charles Chips in a can! When I was a kid every kitchen and workbench shelf had a Charles Chips can full of something else. Buy ‘em for the can!

As far as I know they make only one standard chip flavor, but if they make more I’m picking the standard one. The regular one.

Also, Charles Chips are from Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania grows the best potato chips. Idaho grows baking potatoes.

Wow, an invisible can!

There some weirdness with posting this picture. I’ve got my top technicians working on it now.

Why isn’t there a visible reference scale like other pics?

For Blax, despite the fact that there is not a visual reference scale in any other pic:

I meant pics from Brick. You’re held to a higher standard.

Brick Meathook

These are off the internets. I have a can on a shelf in Los Angeles (just there for decor, to make it look like I do something), though I’m currently back east, with no can, but I’ll buy one and get it express shipped in an hour and take a picture. Yeah, that’s what I’ll do.

Gumbygirl

I have a Charles Chips can I keep change in. Lost the lid in one of my many moves. They used to deliver them to your house!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Pringles Sour cream and onion. I don’t think I’ve had them in about a decade, but I’m sure they still slap as the kids say.

What’s that? I’m being told the kids do not in fact say that anymore, but that these chips do indeed still slap.

Brick Meathook

Really? Was slap ever a thing? Is that like groovy or neato?

Gumbygirl

They’re boss!

blaxabbath

You’re thinking of the at-home Slaps ICE Agents use to keep their families in line.

scotchnaut

Pringles is all that and a bag of chips, funny enough.

blaxabbath

I’ll have some of those Kettle Juh-lap-enos chips.

And a dollar’s worth of mild pepperoni.

/a sales rep for this company did a presentation for our buying group and it went something like this

Rep: “And that about wraps it up-any questions?”

Some Guy: “So these are kettle chips?”

Rep: “Yes, that’s the brand,”

Some Guy: “But are they kettle chips?”

Rep: “No they’re not.”

Some Guy: “That’s a little confusing, isn’t it?”

Rep: “In what way? It’s a Kettle brand chip.”

Some Guy: “Who’s on first?”

/ok, the last sentence didn’t actually happen

scotchnaut

These came on the market in Canada in 1987 thanks to Vickie and Bill Kerr. Damn, they were so good but we can’t have nice things for long so they were bought out by Frito Lay in 1993 and they stopped cooking them in peanut oil shortly thereafter.

salt
blaxabbath

You’re funny and everything but should also be sent to Iran for salt and vinegar.

Brick Meathook

When I first visited relatives in Canada when I was a kid and I watched them put malt vinegar on fries I thought I was on Mars. Now I really like it.

blaxabbath

Yeah. I understand.

To Iran with the all of you!
