Chips

Chips are a wonderful invention. They compliment one's sandwiches so well. Some people even put the chips INSIDE their sandwiches, which seems a little strange to me, but who am I to burst their happy chip bubble?
As I sat here reveling in this wonderful addition to our American diet, I remembered my long-standing frustration with this food item. Namely, why are chips made in anything BUT bite-size? Why are the large chips considered the "normal" size? The regular size should be re-named "crumble on your shirt" size! Why do they even make a chip that doesn't fit in a normal person's mouth? (some of you are pretty good a putting a shoe in your mouth so I imagine that a chip is nothing!)
Think about it, either you attempt to stuff a whole chip in your mouth and end up with a nacho cheese powder ring around your lips, or you try to politely bite off a piece, and the whole chip crumbles into your lap!

Maybe the first person who invented chips had an abnormally large mouth, but why should we all have to suffer because of it! The reason we see no change is that the elitists in the chip manufacturing world are disconnected with the real world. They don't know the chip-eating struggles of the working middle-class! Who's gonna stand up for the little guy?
Let me encourage all of you to join my "Bite The Big Chip" campaign and boycott anything but bite-size chips. Together, we can send a message to all those big-city chip manufacturers!

Popcorn

I love popcorn....I mean really love it. I get a craving for it about every other day. But just last night as I was getting ready to indulge my craving, I realized that the popcorn industry has apparently had some communication problems with the microwave manufacturers. If you'll notice on the back of most microwave popcorn bags, you are firmly instructed to NOT use the popcorn button on your microwave. Apparently the microwave industry has not gotten the memo because every microwave I see STILL has that button proudly displayed.

You'd think that the popcorn people would take the time to call the microwave people and either tell them how they could make a better popcorn button, or else enlighten them to the fact that popcorn never obeys time constraints, therefore a set time will not yield the best results, helloooo!!

Maybe that's the point! Sometime long ago, there was a fight between the industries and this is how they annoy each other....hmmm.....I should look into this....
