Back on the sodium horse

3/4/2008

Well, it's been a while since the Mr Chips fiasco, and I've decided that in the name of frivolous and possibly masochistic blogging, it's time to continue my search for a good packaged salty snack. This "vegetable snack" cracker seems to be both ubiquitous and cheap, so I've assembled the following flavors for sampling:

(clockwise from top left) Pizza, Cherry Tomato, Tomato, Hot Welsh Onion, Cumin, and Shrimp Salad.

And because the blog likes to promote interactivity, I'll also agree to try another flavor of your choosing -- selection list here (scroll down to photo). If more than one person writes in, I'll sample the flavor that gets the most votes. In the case of a tie, I will go with whatever sounds better when I'm standing in the store. You have until Friday to write in, so if I have a salt craving this weekend, there may be a writeup fairly soon. No promises, though!

My pick is Ma La Tang. Those other flavors are too 'normal'...go out on a limb!

Well, now we know who's been paying attention <ahem>... Shrimp Salad's already a given, Tonester. Go sit in the corner and reread the post. :-P

Why don't you mix all the flavors you bought together in one bowl to create a new taste sensation? Wait...maybe that's what the Ma La Tang is. Possible combos: Pizza and sesame; chery tomato and black pepper; bean and...uh...hot welsh onion? By the by, "Hot Welsh Onion" sounds like a welsh woman with a great butt.

I vote black pepper . . . in hopes that it won't be too salty. (Can't stand salty chips).

I like your choices, but I'll bet that Cumin gets the nod for tastiest chip.

I'm gonna vote for Ma La Tang too. I mean, in theory it could be anything! I wonder if they change it up every month... just for fun. Or to be seasonable...

"Hot Welsh Onion" sounds like something whose definition you'd have to look up on urbandictionary.

Voting for 'Bean' seems obnoxious, so I'll toss my lot in for Ma La Tang.

Huh?

No, I haven't seen the movie, and yes, I chose the name anyway. I'm told an Asian woman with green eyes is a plot point.
