I likes me sum Salt & Fresh Cracked Pepper.

I used to love their Dill & Sour Cream flavor but they retired it many moons ago. :shamefulcry:

I could go for a chip right now...or a whole bag.

Those two-pound bags at Costco are awesome... And a problem: no portion control. :sweat:

As much of a bargain as they are I don't ever buy them there for precisely that reason.
:sweat:

The flavor and crunch are too addicting...I'd kill the whole dayem bag in no time!

Same here.

Every time I do buy a bag from Costco the thing is gobbled up in about ten days... Or less. :ashamed:

Interestingly, for the price you pay at Costco for an two-pound bag is nearly the same as an 8-ounce bag at the supermarket. :crazy:

The 20 Most Michelin-Starred Cities In The World (PHOTOS)

Number 1: Kyoto, Japan

If there were ever a local style of food that lent itself to Michelin glory, it's Kyoto's famous kaiseki cuisine, in which diners sit in spare, serene rooms and are served course after course of intricately prepared traditional dishes. The stars speak for themselves -- Kyoto, a city the size of San Diego, has seven three-star restaurants. The entire United States has nine. That's in addition to the plethora of distinguished one- and two-star restaurants that make Kyoto, by the standards of this list, the best restaurant city in the world.

Population: 1,465,917
Michelin Stars: 136
Stars Per 100,000 Residents: 9.3
