Potato Chips?

[Lamb]

I really hated potato chips when I was growing up (unless it was Pringles). Now that there are some unusual flavored ones I think I like them which is why I need to hike 5 days a week

One of my favorite flavors is Kentucky Bourbon Barbecue! :xD:

Do you like chips? What flavors do you choose?

Never heard of that one but sounds good

I usually just wash mine down with beer but heck to each their own.

I never met a potato I didn't like...

I much prefer the regular POTATO flavored POTATO chips.

When I want bourbon, I drink bourbon.

Potato chips is a snack I can usually avoid. If I want a processed savory snack - I reach for a bag of pretzels or some of the flavored baked wheat products at the grocery store.

I want lobster flavored chips

MOST pretzels are super high in sodium! Sometimes I can find the no salt ones and they're just okay.

I loved Pringles when I was a kid...I would say, "Look Mommy! It's a hyperboloidal sheet! If I draw a triangle on it, the sum of the triangle's interior angles is LESS than 180°!" And then I would shove it in my face with a contented grin. She'd smile and shake her head.

Now I prefer kettle cooked chips instead of crisps, flavored with datil peppers. Their shape isn't as fun, but they are much more tasty.

You made geometry out of Pringles?

I might have exaggerated a wee bit there...it just may very well be that I didn't realize Pringles are hyperboloidal until I studied multi-variable calculus.

You were like...5, when you started that, right?

One of our grocery chains makes a "chip" with a hyperboloid-section shape too. They undercut Pringles - charge about 1/2 the price of Pringles for more chips in a near identical cylindrical container.

Yes, at least within 1 order of magnitude. :glasses:

We found as kids that the Pringles "can" made an excellent phone, along with monofilament fishing line.

As an adult I use mine to store potato, carrot, and sweet potato peels when I am watching a video while peeling said vegetables. They are excellent for this purpose. Having a nice plastic lid helps keep the peel odours contained until I get around to tossing out the rubbish.

I once suggested to some of my nieces and nephews they might want to try that, that I had fun doing that as a kid, and they looked up from their iPhones at me like I had stupidly suggested they do something outside.

That sounds like a great idea! :thumbsup:

Each new generation seems to have new technologies to divorce them from past habits and enjoyments. I liked playing outside as a child. I walked to school and when I received a bicycle I used it to go to school - this persisted until high school. Now children are transported in SUVs by parents to and from school and have all their "play time" booked with teams and groups and child minding centres. It seems a diminished life to me but it is all they know and they seem to abhor the idea of walking or cycling to and from school. There's too much parental fear too - fear of abduction, fear of violence, fear or accidents and so forth. I guess the next generation will have some other restriction thrust upon them and some new technology too. I like the technologies but I think that humanity looses something with each new technological gain.

When I was a kid, it wasn't uncommon that when I had my chores done that I would be turned loose on my bicycle to roam the streets, allowed to go wherever I chose. Now, the prospect of turning a child loose with a bicycle anywhere but the back yard, with parental supervision and 40 pieces of protective gear, would be criminal parental negligence.

I loved it as a child, and would get excited when I found a street I hadn't been down before. My mom and dad would just say, "be back in time for dinner."

I think today's kids, the vast majority of them, have no idea what it feels like to collapse in the grass giddy and winded from running hard and playing hard with their friends.

But they do know what potato chips are

Most don't spend enough time on their schooling. Mark could combine the two and teach geometry on Pringles.
