I just went to the Brooks Pharmacy and what did I find?

It's amazing to contemplate that not only did a room full of adults come up with that paragraph, but they also thought it a good idea to put on a package.

Here's some more:

"Spicy peppers and saucy flavors dance wildly across a crisp. Awaken sleeping taste buds you never knew existed. Spicy peppers with just the right amount of tang, combined with an authentic sauce have flames dancing high in the wok as the Szechuan ingredients splash from side to side. The taste will heighten your senses, while the flavor dances on your tongue. Spicy Szechuan Barbecue. It's a Pringles Select."

#1. So, ketchup flavor.

#2. They totally stole that entire block of copy from a package of Kasugai Gummy.

Regarding #1: More or less, although they're also a little garlicky..

Regarding #2: The Cinnamon Sweet Potato flavor has: "By adding a sparkle of cinnamon spice, this candy-like treat will have your taste buds delighted to the ultimate snack."

I think they may have hired the copy writer from the Wendy's near where I live.

I'll just ignore that bit about zombie tongues, and instead mention that I am for some reason physically incapable of reading "sun dried tomatoes" as anything other than "sundried tomatoes". It was hard even writing just now.

And I'm not even sure what that means.

Sun, Dried, and Tomatoes are all always capitalized on the package. So, please, it's Sun Dried Tomatoes.

That said, me too.

I looked at the ingredients and, to my surprise, it does actual contain trace amounts of sundried tomatoes. After all the potato crisp constituents are taken care of (dried potatoes, oil, flour, etc.) it lists these flavorings: "tomato powder, dextrose, onion powder, monosodium glutamate, garlic powder, spice, Sun Dried Tomatoes, ..." and then a bunch of preservatives and stuff.

This reminds me of a recent fast-food ad on TV. A staid British-inflected announcer's voice delivers the following line dead-pan:

Jalapeños explode in a river of molten cheese.

Is it FOOD, or a NATURAL CATASTROPHE?
