"To Die For" according to the person who told me. Mon Jul 23 13:57:30 -0700 2001 0 Harry 1 1545779 Pennsylvania has the best selection of potato chips in the country. Lots of small, local brands. I visited a friend near Harrisburg a few years ago. We went to this huge supermarket and they had one aisle with nothing but dozens of brands of potato chips.

Tasted good, but left a greasy mouth feel. I wonder why. YUK YUK. Tue Jul 24 12:16:28 -0700 2001 1545773 0 Kent 2 1545817 I know what you mean. The crunch with the grandma utz is nice, but they are a little to... much. Try the old fashioned, I think that's what they're called. Whatever their name, they are the ones whose ingredients list is potatoes, peanut oil, salt. you can't argue with that, that's fewer ingredients than Kozy Shack rice pudding.

Knocks the knickers off Grannie's recipe. Tue Jul 24 14:46:07 -0700 2001 1545817 0 Shmingrid
