Okay I swear the next blog post will be about Bronycon but I gotta blog about this. · 5:44pm Aug 14th, 2017
So like, a year ago I was in Walgreens buying… something, and I came across this.
So fast forward to today, just over a year after I made that original blog, and a friend who requests to be not named sent me something after I said $1.50 was outside of my budget.
Yes, they went onto eBay and ordered me crazy chip flavors. This is insane. I don’t deserve friends like these. But that’s not even the best part.
The best part is that because this friend didn’t know my legal name, I now have official mail with my Fimfiction username on it.
And that just tickles me pink.
neat!
Yeah, the Szechuan chips were part of a set of four different Olympics-themed chips: one for China (previous hosts,) one for Greece (creators of the olympics,) one for Brazil (hosts of that year,) and one for India (probably some reason, idk what tho.)
The Szechuan chips were kind of meh imo- tasted of "heat" (comparable to ketchup) and little else. The Greek tzatziki chips were also basically renamed sour cream, and the Indian curry ones were renamed barbecue. Never tried the Brazil ones, but I think they were meat-themed or something .
In any case, all vastly superior to the "chicken and waffles" chips released a few years prior. X_X

Well I’ll tell you now, the Everything Bagel ones are good.

Neat! I'll give 'me a shot at gencon later this week, then.
You better share those with me, Syeekoh.
Wait, you mean those flavors are out already? I thought they were still voting on them.

The Brazilian chips were actually really good! Meaty, yes, and very nicely seasoned. In fact, I have a food review video coming up... Soonish, where I review three of those four flavors. Look forward to it!

We gotta get that Mulan Szechuan Teriyaki dipping sauce, everyone! It'd go great with these chips!

You're going to start doing food reviews? Can't wait.

Doublecool! I think my 7-11 might still have a bag or two -I'll give them a shot!

Uhh... just be sure to check the expiry dates. c.c
Ok, that is so cool on every level. You have a great set of friends. Enjoy your chips!
Wow, new flavors are popping up everywhere.

I really do.
Didn't know your name, but did know your full address.
Sounds like you have a stalker.

This is someone I wouldn’t mind stalking me.

I guess that can be said about anybody who sends you free food.
(Well, unless it's laced with poison.)
Huh...Guess geeking about chip flavors is a thing....
You kind of forget the need for market variety in chip making business...after all we've all heard the "ponies don't normally wear clothes," argument...and reason Carousel Boutique is still in business is the same as why there are now so many flavors of these think.
Your not sell chips or clothes or whatever your product actually is...your selling a brand.
