all that and a bag of chips


Advertising for grocery items rarely works on me and more than that I am not one to buy new products; I buy what I like and what I know. That being said, back in the day I did buy green [and purple] Ketchup just because it intrigued me. All of this aside, yesterday as I was walking the aisles of my grocery store I was stopped dead in my tracks by one particular product; Thick Cut Ball Park Hotdog flavour chips. The name got me thinking of how delicious a hotdog is at a ball game but I could not even begin to comprehend how that taste translates into chip form. I went on President's Choice website to investigate this product further and I was informed that the chip is infused with ketchup, mustard, relish and hotdog flavours- how do you put those into seasonings? I then read a product review on the website from an annonymous fan, "...there was an explosion of flavour in my mouth. I was first hit with a smokey grilled hot-dog flavour. As I chewed, other flavours started to come through. I definitely tasted the relish and then it finished with the distinctive mustard flavour. It is so neat how there seems to be "layers" of flavour in these chips(presidentschoice.ca)" Although I am intrigued I am not completely sold on the idea of a hotdog in chip form. Why not just go to a ballgame and enjoy the real deal?
