Sun Chips Come From The Nuclear Warheads That Superman Threw Into The Sun

A friend of mine is always eating chips--all kinds of chips. It's quite impressive how well he mixes them up--he doesn't show favoritism, unlike most parents. Twas he who originally introduced me to Sun Chips. Remember those old Pringles commercials: "once you pop, youuuuuu can't stop!"? Yeah, Pringles were good....in the 90's. But the cylindrical container thing was a just a gimmicky fad (or maybe a faddy gimmick). Sun Chips are where it's at--you should go get a bag toDAY! You seriously need assistance to stop eating them. I had to go in the other room--no joke.

I'm not really a chip eater; I'm much more into nutrition. I mean, I'm a human, so of course I enjoy eating great chips. I'm just really good at moderating myself. There are, however, a few different chips over the years that have proved more difficult than others to resist eating more than a serving size at a time.

CRUNCHY CHEETOS (you can't share though because others inconsiderately lick their fingers between each bag reach)

PROPER CORN TORTILLA CHIPS (I'm from Texas), like EL LAGO, out of Austin. So fresh and natural and bubbly.

BAKED LAY'S ORIGINAL (just so good and so much healthier than others)

THOSE PREMIUM THICK CUT SEA-SALTED LAY'S POTATO CHIPS (it's like eating bagged home fries)

AS AN OBSCURE PICK: THERE ARE THESE STEREOTYPICALLY GENERIC CLEAR PLASTIC UNLABELED BAGS OF PURPOSELY BURNT AND NATURALLY MISSHAPED, THICK AND YET NOT UNIFORMLY CUT, OVER-SALTED POTATO CHIPS I'VE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND A FEW TIMES IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC, WHICH PUT ALL OTHER POTATO CHIPS TO SHAME (my goodness!)

AND THEN THERE ARE SUN CHIPS (besides the necessity to change rooms so you don't eat too many, they're WAY healthier than most chips)

Sun Chips even rival Baked Lay's in their nutritional value. Sodium is low, fiber is high, calories from fat are pretty low. It's as if they really are from the sun, the biological creator of all things. They're marvelous. Go get some.

Eat great things!
