*** RELINE THIS MESS WITH YOUR AGE PLEASE ***


How in the bloody HELL can potato chips cost so much? I just spent 40 US
cents on a 1 ounce package of Frito-Lay Ruffles Brand Bar-B-Q flavored
Potato Chips and an equal amount for 1 and 1/4 ounces of Crunchy Chee-Tos.

Well, there were exactly 8 chips that I would call full-sized (approx. 5 cm
diameter) and a bunch of potato-chip rubble that MIGHT have amounted to
another 4. So big deal! 40 cents for 12 chips == 3.3 cents a lousy wafer.
Same story with the Chee-Tos. There were probably 35 respectable sized ones
(average length 4.0 cm) and a bunch of Chee-To rubble that may have brought
the entire package up to a solid 40. So these are only a penny each, the
fact remains that a Chee-To probably contains more BHA than it does milk
solids and cheese combined.


GRRRR! 80 cents for a lousy 350 calories!!
