you obviously hate chips

I had a friend whose mom was a food scientist for Hershey designing the newest chocolate bars. The #1 goal is to get consumers addicted, even before making the product taste good (though obviously those often go hand in hand, but they knew the subtle differences!).

With chips, the texture and msg bomb do the trick. I'm less familiar with chocolate since I don't really eat sweets but the goal is the same.

thank you @zeke for bringing back US Politics as the topic. I feel safe now.

Not so fast

Congrats.

I have never eaten a handful of chips in my entire life and never will.

0 is the far better option over 7 or 8.

I lost a bunch of weight and the biggest thing was not eating any chips for about 6 months.
Worst 6 months of my life, but I now just do what you all say...I either don't buy them or I eat them all.

Luckily, I'm also kind of stingy, and 5 bucks for chips?
Nope

I never said that I had that willpower either...

I’ll splurge $7 for 2 bags of covered bridge. But plain and simple or salt are the best flavours

Chips are so fucking good. Best junk food of all-time and it's not particularly close.

F@ck Nvidia and AI, gimme Ms. Vickie’s jalapeño!

They are basically drug traffickers.

far more precise and manipulative than drug traffickers tbh. they've perfected how to exploit every single part of your subconscious and senses.

I swear they made Doritos Sweet Chili Heat as addictive as heroin. Completely nailed it.
