Somebody shot my wife's potato chip

[BrasilNuts]

There she was, eatin some cheddar and sour creme chips [gag] when she whips this out. Looks like someone shot a hole in it. Well, I thought it was weird.

You're all wrong!!!!

One potato chip to rule them all

One chip to find them

One chip to bring them together and in darkness bind them.

That's called a 'Millionth' chip.

During chip production, all the cut, pre-fried chips run down a conveyor. To maintain quantity & quality control the chips all have to be individually inspected & counted. The Person doing the inspection (the Chip Counter) is given a small punch, like a ticket punch at the movies, & when they've counted a million chips, they punch one to let the management know exactly how many are produced during a shift. Punched chips, also called 'Millionths' are usually collected & handed in at the end of every shift, because it's much simpler for management to count a small stack of millionths that to have to manually count how many chips have been produced. Counting individual chips would be hard work, monotonous & pointless.

The fact that you have one in your possession tells me that one of the Counters has obviously been neglectful & dishonest during their shift-count, possibly because they're embezzling money in a complex criminal scheme. If I were you, I'd immediately contact the manufacturer & make them aware of the obvious criminal conspiracy taking place in their factory.

's all true. Honest!

I don't know if that's truth or a load of crap, but I'll buy it. I'm gonna go tell the wife that now. Thanks Rob.

Evidently you guys have never been to New England!

My oldest brother lives in New England, but I guess I'm missing something - is New England the land of holy chips or something?

I actually eat at Krystal more than White Castle. I only go to WC when I need some real sliders.

I like them both, can you honestly tell the difference?

Yep,

They both give me the raging squitters, but Krystals is more of intense, stabbing, intestinal pain; Whitecastle is a dull, repetative, nauseating wave
