Potato chips are a snack I can do without—I've never been a big chip fan of any sort; though once in a blue moon I might try a corn chip in some sort of Mexican dip, but I might not do that for years at a time.
My sister-in-law had some type of pita chips which I tried and rather liked. And I have tried some sea-salt bagel chips which were ok too.
But I can only eat these items in a particular way—first, open the bag and scan it carefully for any broken chips. Eat these imperfections immediately. The pieces don't have any calories anyway!
Later in the evening, when boredom arises and nothing too fulfilling is on TV, its time to try more chips: open the bag, scan again for broken or dark pieces and eat. Very slowly, very carefully (utmost concentration is required), rotate the bag on it's side, again pulling out only the broken pieces. Give the bag a light shake and start the process again, ignoring your son's dark eyebrows and the irritated glare.
"SHHH!"
"I'm being as quiet as I can! I only want a few! It's a stupid show anyway! I only like the broken ones!" I stage whisper.
"SHHH!"
This scenario proceeds for 10 more minutes….careful rotation, rustle rustle, careful rotation, rustle rustle…
"SHHH!"
rustle rustle, careful rotation, rustle rustle…
Then WHAM! A fist comes down out of nowhere and smashes the bag deep into the couch cushion!
"There. Now you don't have to search."

That's strange, I thought everybody liked heavily salted snack treats. I usually try to eat baked or no trans fat but I'm addicted to chips of some sort... is that wrong??
That's totally true though about the small pieces of chips... like cookie crumbs in the bottom of the bag-- I never eat cookies. Bagel chips are delicious, as well as pita chips... baked of course...
