Flavored Chips

     I love to snack, you love to snack, people all over the world love to snack. Chips are often the snack of choice but lately the flavors have gotten crazy. Recently I heard there was a Thanksgiving chip, which tasted like turkey, dressing and gravy. That sounds disgusting. I love turkey, dressing and gravy but in it's natural form, not in a chip. I guess I'm just a traditionalist.

     This made me think. If there is a Thanksgiving chip there must be many other flavors that are just as surprising. So I did an Internet search and here's some flavors found. Chocolate, garlic Caesar salad, beet soup, pig in a blanket, grilled cheese and catsup sandwich, mac n cheese, wasabi ginger, butter garlic scallop, mint, chicken and waffle, cappuccino, blueberry, sausage, whiskey and some I couldn't pronounce.

     I guess you could have chips for every meal instead of the traditional food. Maybe chicken and waffle chips for breakfast with a cappuccino chip to get your day started. Of course you could choose a healthier breakfast with a blueberry (brain food) chip.

     There are many choices for lunch grilled cheese sandwich chip or a mac n cheese chip or a just a simple garlic Caesar salad chip. Dinner could be a butter garlic scallop chip (seafood is always a healthy choice) or maybe simply soup, like a beet soup chip. Not sure, why anyone would choose beet soup even the traditional style.

     Then in the evening after a long difficult day you might want to kick back with a whiskey chip to take the edge off. I guess it would have to be straight up not over the rocks.

     A few years ago while on the way to Wisconsin we stopped at the Jelly Belly factory for a tour and they had more flavors of jellybeans than I had ever imagined. Some flavors didn't even make sense like vomit, booger, dirt, earthworm and rotten egg. I'm sure any flavor could be made into a chip or a jelly bean, like mango, chutney and burnt hair but, why?

     So next time you see someone eating a chip and they say "Holy Cow, this taste like crap!" Maybe they aren't exaggerating but merely describing the flavor.  "Just Saying...."
