13. Those are especially tasty
alas, these are mere Lays brand. Still, they are vinegary and salty. I used to make my own in a pinch by laying out a load of chips on a clean dishtowel, sprinkling vinegar over them, then picking up the corners of the towel and spinning it over my head to dry them a bit.

3. Salt & Vinegar are great -- I love the Dill pickle flavored chips
though. The Canadian ones much more than the US ones.

4. Salt and vinegar is my favorite
has been for a long time. There used to be a really good brand here in southwest Ohio called Hometown. They're now defunct, but they had the best.

11. My main problem with them is upending the bag at the end
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 10:50 PM by qnr
and pouring everything into your mouth. It's like the broken chips dripped out all their excess vinegar and it was absorbed by the crumbs at the bottom.


And nope, sorry, don't see your avatar? If it is one you designed, did you remember to put the personal/ before the number?

18. when you eat your fork stays upside-down in your left hand
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 11:09 PM by Skittles
cold, damp, rainy weather doesn't bother you
you have bought sweets with farthings, ha'pennnies and sixpences
you call your mom MUM
steak and kidney pie sounds good
you say HAPPY CHRISTMAS instead of MERRY CHRISTMAS


Skittles = all of the above

:hug:

.. when you pour yourself a homemade shandy and your friends look at you like :wtf:

.. when you live in America and bitch about the lousy local transport system

.. when you join the American military, but never really got into that "Standing at attention during the National Anthem" bit - wondering why just being obligated to do so wasn't a big enough form of patriotism in the first place

.. when you drive by school bus stops in the middle of spring and still see Moms and Dads waiting at that stop's corner in their SUVs and hate them for it :nuke: :-)
