The other day while I was grocery shopping I was faced with the choice of whether to buy a 16 ounce bag of tortilla chips or a "super sized" 20 ounce bag of tortilla chips. Thinking that I am usually pretty unhappy when I run out of chips, I thought that the larger bag would probably be the best.
I was wrong.
Here's the problem: the thin corn chips on the bottom of the bag can't withstand 20 ounces of pressure. So after eating what I estimate as 16 ounces of chips, I was left with 4 ounces of crumbs that were next to impossible to eat.
So next time you're buying tortilla chips, remember that the best value is that one bag that will have the highest average of edible chips
Or what you could do, would be to lay the 20oz bag on its side, flat side down, so that the pressure would be so much less cause there'd be only a few chicps on top of every chip! *looks up* does that make sense?
Ahh, definately a good idea, but think of this: in the store, the bags are kept vertically. So most of the damage is done before control of the storange is switched to you.
Therriault just sent me this link and I am dying laughing. Your chip dillemma was enough to get us rolling laughing over here, has been a busy busy week. Good luck on the snack quest. Semper Fi dude.
