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.


These are great dipped in ketchup:

Serving size: one bag.
Herr’s Red Hot potato chips. East Coast chip. Pretty sure from Pennsylvania.
Lay’s Limón.
Holy fuck they’re good and addicting!
Going for the nostalgia factor here.
DickChips 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.Hey I’m running to Whole Foods to do an Amazon return. Does anybody want anything? You know, some organic shit or something? Last chance . . .
Zapp’s Voodoo Chips
That’s an excellent choice.
The Apollo astronauts brought these back from the moon:

Big Y, our local supermarket chain, makes their own chips. They don’t always have them but when they do you want to grab a bag.

Sweet, a little smoky, solid and stands up to a dip. Damn fine chips. Damn fine.
Going foreign right off the bat.
Ruffles Jalapeño Ranch.
I hear they have ridges
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
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.
The can:

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.
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.
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.
Really? Was slap ever a thing? Is that like groovy or neato?
You’re thinking of the at-home Slaps ICE Agents use to keep their families in line.
Pringles is all that and a bag of chips, funny enough.
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
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.
You’re funny and everything but should also be sent to Iran for salt and vinegar.
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.
Yeah. I understand.
To Iran with the all of you!
