Sea Salt and Vinegar Kettle Cooked Potato Chips are a tool of the Devil. |
|
I see them on the store shelf, beckoning to me with their Siren song of tasty deliciousness, when, in the back of mind a small voice says, "Remember the last time you bought those, and like a moron ate the entire bag? Did you forget that the next morning your mouth felt like it was sandblasted, then etched with acid?"
I buy them again, anyway.

The Sea Salt and Black Pepper ones too.
I know that not eating them is the reason I'm down from a 46" to a 38" in slacks...and yet, both me and the Utz corporation know that I'm going to lie to myself and say "I'll ration them out, I won't eat them all and come back this evening for a second bag."
Two bags later, it's back on the treadmill for 3 hours to maintain calorie-neutral snacking behavior.

4. My local Kroger sells single serve bags. |

They are the Kettle brand. It's a good way of getting a fix without the risk of eating a whole full-size bag in a sitting. The only problem is that their flavors are limited. And, they damned expensive that way.

Especially those damn parmasan and garlic chips Boulder puts out. The last bag is permanently entrenched on my backside.

8. They are a great treatment for canker sores. |
|
I don't know how it works. Maybe it's the placebo effect. Maybe it's the astringent properties of the vinegar coupled with the antimicrobial properties of the salt. But whenever we get a canker sore around here, we get a bag of those chips, and I swear both the chips and the canker sore are gone in a day.

9. Warning: Wise chips contain Lactose. |
|
Check the ingredients list on Wise Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips.
It lists "Lactose (Milk derivative)". I'm lactose intolerant and
became ill after eating them. Who would think to check Potato Chips
for Lactose???

10. That's actually fairly common for potato chips |
|
Lactose turns up in all sorts of products because of it's versatility as a binding agent.
