Sun Chips

The best damn chips known to man. The best kind (IMO) are Harvest Cheddar. Go out and buy a bag of these chips...sit down at your television and tell me that after watching some old M.A.S.H. re-runs and a few game shows...(breath) tell me that you have NOT eaten an entire bag. Sun Chips have been rumored to have been created by God himself.
They are so addicting, you won't even notice that you can't stop reaching for an extra hand full after a while.
The only way to stop yourself from eating a bag of these without noticing is to duck tape the bag shut. That is to say if you can even remember to stop eating them long enough to go and grab the tape.

Enjoy 'em.

Their new ad campaign featured Carly Simon singing the Beatles "Good Day Sunshine". The tagline: Good things happen when the sun comes out.
