I. Have. Kettle. Cooked. Chips. *dances* This is my favorite type of chip that exists. I kinda wish I would have gotten the healthy variety since this Hy-Vee brand is nearly dripping in grease and salt, but the good ones were soooo expensive. Why is it that the healthier foods seem to be so much pricier than the shave-years-off-your-life stuff? Do they expect only yuppies to buy it or something?

Also, why is it that olive oil is considered so much better for you than vegetable, canola, or corn oil? They all have nearly identical nutrion labels, and I saw nothing on the package that made olive oil look any better than anything else.


These chips taste oddly like sunflower seeds. I thought that maybe the chips were fried in sunflower seed oil, but the ingredient list says otherwise. Does cottonseed oil taste like sunflower seeds? Does sea salt taste like sunflower seeds? Are sunflower seeds salted with sea salt? I love a good mystery.

my thoughts are scattered tonight. i keep finding more things i want to comment on.

when i was little, my dad had this jar of sea salt chunks that he bought from the nutrition store. my friend Stacy and i would regularly dig chunks of salt out and suck on them. it tasted just like regular salt but not as biting and chemical, if that makes sense. i don't eat sunflower seeds, so i can't tell you if they taste the same, but i imagine it's just kind of an organic saltiness.
