Wow. I’m floored by this revelation. And annoyed. Boo. (Don’t forget the Chinese also have put melamine in both dog food and now a children’s candy that is commonly given out during the lunar new year!)
But the best line by far had to be : “…but I assume it has something to do with starving the Irish.” I actually started giggling like an idiot at work. Thank you.

I’m not looking to start another Dairygold-esque discussion but I have one word for you. Tayto. Cheese and onion Tayto to be specific.

I’m so glad I stopped eating Pringles years ago, didn’t have a reason then but I’m sure glad now.

I love potato chips. I love all kinds. Ridges, extra thin, kettle…you name it, EXCEPT baked. As far as I’m concerned baked potato chips shouldn’t be called potato chips.

As any sciencey person can tell you, the goal of ridges in all areas of life and the human body is to increase surface area. So by introducing them to their chips, they can pack more salt and other flavorings into the same-sized bite, and thus get you thinking that their product is more flavorful, when actually you’re just eating more per bite. And now that we know that it’s all malowhateverblah, which probably gives you cancer or makes you turn green or something, I would be wary of the ridges.

It’s also a marketing ploy.

Never liked Ruffles anyway.
