Somebody take this bag of chips away from me!!!

I have been out of work for 5 months (looking for work but not seriously) and I get bored easily when it's snowing like today. I opened a bag of Hawaiian Kettle Style potato chips, Luau BBQ and now I can't stop reaching my hand in there. I have them sitting at the side of my computer. I take them with me when I go in the other room to read and half the bag is gone, now! LOL It's like I don't have a will of my own!

LOL I hate it when that happens! I've never seen them here, but I stay out of the chip isle. Boycotted it!

Yikes,...I stopped smoking, and well...dorito's are mouth watering tastey!!

...or, am I doomed?

winking HI Celia!

Hey, Judy! LOL

I finally put the chips down and walk away and what happens? DH brings Girl Scout cookies home! ARRRRRGH!!!

Really, Where are they..come on, pass em around!
LOL.

got a fire going, sooo.munchies are good?

Know what happens to someone who loves chocolate when the Valentine candy goes 75% off? You guessed it. I bought 5 hearts of chocolate for 74 cents apiece. Thank goodness its almost gone. I don't even want to talk about Lays Sour Cream and Onion chips or Doritos. LOL

I see me here.
I had a big problem when I was out of work. Chips were cheap at the save a lot and it was so easy to sit in the afternoon and read and grab a crunchy as I read. Soon the bag was empty.

I had to get out my knitting needles and crochet hooks. I got many items (gifts) made cheaply, and it kept me out of the crunchies. Keep the hands busy, that is the key. LOL

I think my turning point was the day I was eating crunchy cheese doodles and reading a very exciting book. Well, I was good to keep the orange off the pages, but there was orange fluff everywhere as I munched away awaiting what was going to happen next in the book.

Well, I heard someone at the door and it was the UPS man. He was smirking at me funny as he handed me the package. After, I looked and I had orange crumbs all down the front of me and on my face. Sheesh. I was mortified. (but not so much that I didn't tell anybody) Ha.

LOL !
I watched a teenager buy two bags of chips and a jar of cheese dip at 7-11 and thought- he's probably gonna eat all that himself for an after noon snack ...and not gain and ounce. (He was slim to regular built, the rat)
I love kettle chips. Have to try those!! Or not! I quit buying chips at one time because of this problem, when you get started..uh oh. Lately I buy more of the cheap, not quite SO good, snacks, off brands. Call me a partypooper, but they last longer. (3 teens) But I don't skimp on soda. Name brands only. Luckily that's not our "weakness"

Amber, good thing you weren't in MY way at that Valentine clearance, I got several bags myself. MMMMMMMMM Hey, why pass up mini candy bars at 4 cents each?

cpartschick--next time he comes by you should ask him what's the WORST thing he ever saw. It wasn't you I'm sure!

My very worst downfall, as far chips are concerned, are Sweet Onion or Sea Salt and Vinegar. Oh, don't EVEN get me started! LOL

Chocolate, not so much, these days.

Cparts? Try walking around work for 2 hours with people looking at your funny and trying to avoid you, only to go into the ladies room and discover a big blob of tuna slad you had for lunch on your shirt front!!! LOL

Oh, at this one place I worked they used to ask me what I had for lunch and then smile. Took me a while to figure out they were trying to guess what was all over my clothes and stuck to my face. (I am better now) Ha.

Now I eat a packed lunch or go home for lunch. Taco bell and such were a little messy.

I have become a fast food junkie. Love Taco Bell! I found out today that Wendy's changed their ranch dressing, it's gross, couldn't eat the salad cause it was so nasty. The chicken sandwich was good though!

Lay's KC Masterpiece BBQ are my fave! I can eat a huge bag in one sitting.

ROTFLOL Chick!!! You're a hoot!

BBQ chips...mmmm....they were on sale last time I was there and I bought a bag. They have been sitting there and I have been good.

Last night DH said "hey, toss me those chips to take to work", It was hard. Sharing is one thing, but when the bag leaves the house, I will never see them again.

Dave won't eat chips, but if there's any chocolate laying around it will be gone and I won't get any of it!

Well I can't help ya....I just finished my box of GS cookies. We each get 1 box of our favorite cookie and get to it all to ourselves!!

I must have the little bags of Hershey's Extra Dark Chocolate Squares in the house at all times....I quite smoking last June....

Oh!!! Extra Dark is the only choco I'll still hide behind my back!!! LOL

Yep, just quit smoking...Tootsie pops in my house, by the bag!

Oh my gosh now you've done it, I have not had a BBQ chip in absolute ages...now will have to run and get some!

OK, my big huge downfall Susie Q's and those little apple pies...yum yum, smacking my lips.

LOL, gardening season has to start, cause I am getting fat!

Anybody try those Lays Hot & Spicy? I loved them. I bought them 2 bags at a time. Lays quit making them. So Sad. Apparently they were a specialty chip. I got hooked them boom they were gone. I still mourn their loss. LOL I just bought more chips today. The Taco/Chipotle flavor Doritos. I love the Taco. Every now and then you can find bags with just Taco but you have to buy them quick.

Oh, and talking about BBQ chips anybody remember Krunch Tators? These were around many years ago and they were hard with a spicy BBq flavor. They were very good too. There was a Alligator on the bag.

Now, you've all made me get the bag out again! LOL It's almost gone.

All those things are yummy.

I have this strange craving for some BBQ Chips.......we used to get the Lays Hot & Spicy ones...loved those!!!!! I don't care much for plain chips but I love BBQ ones.

I grabbed the wrong bag when I got these. They're spicy and yummy and delicious!

oh mi goshh,

shhichawww, lol that is how to smack de-lish-o & us!

Right??
hehehe.

Doritos, sweet and spicy chili flavor. Way, way good, much better than it sounds.

There's something strange goin' on when you get a big bag of chips (like chili and lime; I had those once in New Mexico; I think it was a regional thing), you say you're just going to "have a few", and a few later, the bag's all but gone! Must be holes in them there bags!

They evaporate at my house. That is the only logical reason they would dissapear so quickly.
(So you have to eat them quick, before they dissolve into the air)

ROTFLOL!! Evaporating chips! That's why chocolate disappears so quick around my house, it evaporates!! I should have guessed!

I bought some Special K bars and some other wheat crackers, thinking this would help me not eat so many munchies at work NOT!! The crackers are some sort of zingy kind and the bars are honey and gram, and strawberry. Yum!

Everytime this thread pops up new I swear I will buy a bag of Hawaiian Kettle BBQ that day...

I may have to drive the 5 miles to the little gas station & store to get chips today...LOL!!

Seriously, I asked my DD to pick up a bag of Jay's Red Hot potato chips...
Sigh she brought me the BBQ chips, they were good but not the same, so my fix just isn't fixed.

LOL, going to have to go get them myself.

Hahaha, that is so funny Disappearing chips, explains alot around here.

Evaporating chips!!! ROTFLOL That's a good one! ☺☺☺

The Girl Scout cookies are lasting a bit longer than usual and the chips are gone. Guess I'll have to go back to the corn chips and salsa. I found some leftover sour cream in the fridge and mixed it with some salsa. Mmm...

I need to go back and get my Sweet Onion chips, too.

oooo, I have tortilla chips & guacamole...forgot about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LUNCH TIME

And guacamole...

Good for you food? Triscuts are nasty. Like eating shreaded wheat. UGH. Tastes like straw. I don't care how much salt and spices you put on them...ICK.

Same with granola bars, rice cakes and other type items. I see no reason to try to fool myself into eating them. Life is too short not to enjoy a good piece of chocolate or some good salty snack that is boiled in oil.

I am pretty good with most items, just take one and am pretty happy, but when I get a hunger for a chip of some kind, esp when you are distracted by a book...watch out...it is chow time.

Gee honey, I am not too hungry tonight for supper, I am not sure why.

Oatmeal cookies.
I made some yesterday and almost ate the whole first pan full before the second pan was out of the oven. I mean an EMBARRASSING amount of cookies lol

I lie to myself, It's OATMEAL lol GOOD for you ;)

but they just kept flying into my mouth lol !
I couldn't stop them!


I only ate one.................at a time
I think that is how the saying goes

ROTFLOL Oh, dear! Oatmeal IS good for you! LOL Every time I bend my elbow, my mouth flies open and cookies or chips fly in. Huh...

Ok, so DH switched cars with me. What was in it. THE bag of chips. So I had some. They were lays and were not that good.

So when I went to the store they had kettle chips BBQ. Yeah, now that was what I was talking about. It was nice enough to sit on the deck and watch the geese and snack. UGH, I got a belly ache. So now the craving is gone for a while.

Oatmeal cookies, mmm, now those are good.

Loooove oatmeal cookies!!

I was at Target and looked for THE kettle chips (that started all this) but no luck.
I tried a new recipe the other day, called S'mores Brownies. You line the bottom of the pan with grahams, then bake brownies on it, BUT DON'T overbake it says. Then a layer of mini marshmallows to puff on top in the oven, then chocolate drizzle. Well, I didn't overbake, the marshamllows were stale and chocolate chips would not melt and get smooth to drizzle??? So when I went to cut and package for DD to take it was a mushy sticky mess. So I have been torturing myself all weekend, trying to eat these gooey, soft, rich, sticky fudgey things..........must not waste right?

ROTFLOL No, don't waste that yummy...uh...icky, gooey stuff.
