I donno, I regard it as sort of like the prize in a box of Crackerjack. Essentially useless, but kind of a bonus and part of the charm.

It's potato-scented air. You're supposed to discard the chips, just like the dessicant packet with new shoes (which probably taste better than potato chips these days).

Actually bits of air coalesce inside the bag and form chips. They are dangerous

Used to eat 'em in Germany. Also used to eat fries with mayo.

Than again, I absolutely love peanut butter, cheese, pickle and mustard sandwiches so what do I know?

That was how we ate fries in my household. Well, mayo mixed with catsup.

Fries, tater tots, hash browns... mom would save leftover mashed potatoes and fry 'em up for breakfast, like hush puppies.

My source for chocolate-covered potato chips has moved from PEI to Ontario. This makes me sad enough that I'm going to attempt to make my own, possibly this week.

I'll let you know how that goes...!

Don't dismiss the value of air biscuits! They give you room to think.

You laugh, but don't mock it 'til you've tried it. They are surprisingly good...even downright addictive!

I hope you don't find chips in that. I could see the problem there.

Order some. Try them.

If my homemade attempts don't work, I'll probably order some too. I just figure it might be cheaper to make them myself and that way I can have them more often!

Not at all. I'm claiming that your supposition lacks supporting evidence. Just anecdotally, I viewed the link, then weighed myself, and I gained not an ounce.

When I get mad I storm around and clean stuff. Ergo madness is slimming, and it gets your house clean.

Can't be too different from chocolate covered pretzels. I'd try 'em.

See, I do that too, but then I have a clean kitchen and am inspired to cook. When the kitchen is nasty, I don't cook.

Ergo, laziness is slimming.
