stones taught me to fly
love, it taught me to lie
life taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannonball

Unsatisfactory munchies

I've been laying off of the potato chips for quite some time now. Strolling through the supermarket aisles, I would actually find myself grabbing a bag or two off the shelves, taking them home, and then not touching them.

I was at T&T the other day and it happened to be just before dinnertime...hence I was famished. Passing the chip aisle, I couldn't help but be curious about all those crazy Asian flavours. I mean, you have the normalcy of ketchup, BBQ, all-dressed, sour cream and onion, etc. When you go to an Asian market though, there's seaweed, and curry, and wasabi, and spicy chicken, and the list goes on!!

Two flavours caught my eye; pizza and gyoza - the latter being a Japanese dumpling.

Well, I finally tried both of them tonight (yep, I actually BOUGHT the chips and ended up EATING them!). WHAT A LETDOWN THEY WERE!

The pizza chips just smelled....well, funky. They were supposed to be flavoured with gouda cheese, cheddar cheese, and....I think....pepperoni-like stuff? I dunno. It was just weird and made me super thirsty. You can always count on the MSG in there, I guess.

The gyoza chips smelled pretty good, I must admit. They didn't taste like anything in particular though...especially not pan-fried dumplings. They had a slight bite to them...and again, more saltiness.

The worst part of it all? They were both SUPER dinky bags (not that I would've wanted to eat more anyway), AND they cost $1.99 each. What a rip.

I'm going back to my good ol' Ketchup Lay's and Humpty Dumpty Onion Rings...if I ever get around to consuming them.

Pizza chips would have been appealing to me too. It's a sad world when even the chips people let us down. Ah well. Life's not fair, eh?

At least you can eat pizza, chips, or funky pizza chips.

Lay's came out with Wasabi and Curry chips. Haven't quite dared to take on these Asian-influenced munchies since the last disaster.
