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*

Next time he gets his own bag!
Posted by dread pirate romany (Member # 6869) on :
Have you checked the trash?
I would suspect him of finishing them, in which case he owes you a whole bag.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I did check the trash, although he knows he'd be dead if he did that.
Ooooh, I just thought of a place!
Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :
On the sofa where he was eating them!
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
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.
He just came in. We are going to have to have a talk about not hiding junk food.

Isn't this a good excuse to buy a new bag? Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
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?
Posted by maui babe (Member # 1894) on :
At least they weren't salt and vinegar potato chips... Yummmmmmm
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
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.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Crunchy or puffed, Ralphie?
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Puffed cheetos are an abomination. Chrunchy all the way!
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
There are times when puffed hits the spot, though. And I don't get "Cheeto arm" quite as badly with the puffed.
Posted by maui babe (Member # 1894) on :
ALL cheetos are an abomination!! <insert vomiting smilie>
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I suppose you think it's an abomination to eat potato chips with ketchup, too.
Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :
Are not! Cheetos rock!
Posted by maui babe (Member # 1894) on :
I think it's an abomination to put catsup on just about anything, yes. Also mayonnaise. But Salt and Vinegar chips are yummy...

That's right! Cheez Balls are the only way to go!
Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
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.

If I have to stop at the store for Kettle Chips on the way to wrok, I'm blaming Hatrack.
Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :
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.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
They are. *munches* Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Sure, you keep the cheddar and sour cream potato chips for yourself, and bring "veggie chips" to the Shinda. And HUMmus. Sheesh.

Hey, I didn't know you well enough to share. Plus, we'd finished all those in the car on the way out to CA.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
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.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I ordered some online one time. They weren't as good as using Heinz for a dip, though.
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Crap. No hummus in our vending machine, and that's what I'm hungry for now.
Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :
If I eat Honey Nut Chex Mix I can delude myself into thinking I'm eating something healthy.
Posted by maui babe (Member # 1894) on :
I'm eating low fat pita chips.. a poor substitute, but they're all I have.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
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.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
I am trying to trick my body out of a craving for salty, fatty snacks by eating Pringles. It's working, sorta.

Peanut Butter Captain Crunch is a healthy snack right?
*Don't answer unless you have the right one*
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I want hummus, now, too! Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
"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.
Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
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.
FG
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I like the Ruffles version better than the Lays.
Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
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.
I love potato chips. Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
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.
Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :
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*
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Bummer. Finished the pringles, and I still have the craving. <Goes to kitchen to get remaining Cheetos.>
Posted by Christy (Member # 4397) on :
*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...
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
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....

There's probably a whole bunch of British people reading this thread who are offended that we are calling them "chips." Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :
Ah, Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles. You have made my afternoon. You were delicious. I miss you already.
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

They should call their chips "freedom fries," and until they do we won't cater to those crisps-eating bastages!
Posted by Uhleeuh (Member # 6803) on :
I don't like regular Cheetos, they make me sick. I love Flamin' Hots Cheetos, though. Love them. I can't get enough of those.
Posted by dread pirate romany (Member # 6869) on :
Pirate Booty! It's like Cheetos, only it's health food!
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
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.

Cheddar and sour cream? Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

I'm eating it right now!!! Posted by dread pirate romany (Member # 6869) on :
The kids love shrimp chips, which grosses me out.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
shrimp chips do sound gross. The crab chips I'm talking about aren't crab flavored, but old bay seasoning flavored, which just makes them good and spicy, made by Utz, and the closest to me they're available is like Pennsylvania.

The only potato chips I ever seemed to be able to find in France were ketchup-flavored. Why do the French think Americans like ketchup so much? Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :
I'm not a huge chip fan, myself. My favorites are goldfish pretzels, and a new whole-grain cracker I found called "TLC - Tasty Little Cracker." Yum!!

TLC are excellent with Boursin herb and garlic. MMMMMMMmmmmmmm!

Since ketchup flavored chips are new to the US, maybe they got the idea from the Canadians.
Posted by babager (Member # 6700) on :
My kids have an ongoing battle as to which is better.. cheetos (the crunchy kind) or doritos. They are always trying to have me choose sides! Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Herr's has been making ketchup-flavored chips for several years, I think.
quote: Pirate Booty! It's like Cheetos, only it's health food!
And kosher, too.
Although I dispute the "health food" label. Better than Cheetos or chips nutritionwise, certainly. But hardly actually HEALTHY.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Mmmmm... Pirates' Booty...
Posted by Lady Jane (Member # 7249) on :
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Pirate's Booty and Veggie Booty was under a controversial cloud for a while because they did not have accurate info on the bag. It became a WeightWatcher's treasure trove, with ladies packing in the Booty, thinking it was many fewer points than it was. Vaguely flavored cardboard, that is how I would describe it.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Oh, I like it. As long as you haven't had real chips to compare it to in a couple of days, it's edible.
And I finished my chips. Posted by dread pirate romany (Member # 6869) on :

My husband is so used to eating TLC with herbed goat cheese, he says they taste "wrong" without it.
(Ok, Pirate Booty is not really health food, but they don't have trans fats or artificial flavors or colors.)
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I bet Papa Moose would think of it as "health food". That and veggie chips. Posted by School4ever (Member # 5575) on :
I should never have read this thread. I swore off junk food for Lent and now all I can think about is potato chips. *please leave me alone, you silly cravings*

You know what I made tonight? Lipton's Onion Soup Dip. With Wavy Lays. MmMmmmMMMMmmmm.
