Easy, Lay's

 So, how do you feel about mixed signals? As in, you ask your partner if they want to go to the Fall Festival or the Book Thing or the football game on Saturday, and they say, "Oh sure, okayyyyyy...." but there's a tone in there and you don't know whether they meant to say OK or what.

For a person such as I, this is a problem, because I am constitutionally incapable of saying yes and meaning no, or vice versa. So much so that I am also incapable of saying "vice versa," the Latin adverb meaning "in reverse order." We only have so many days to be alive on this crazily spinning earth, so why waste time saying things we don't mean, and meaning things we don't say?

You can have all of this that you want, but I don't want to mix up my poor overworked taste buds. Pineapple on pizza? Horseradish on an ice cream sundae? Caramel gravy on roast beef? Or, as Neil Diamond pondered, "Ah, but porcupine pie...It weaves its way through my dreams...And I do believe...I'm gonna get one...And leave enough room for dessert....Chicken ripple ice cream!"

It is in this spirit that I share with you the plans of the good people over at Lay's  to bring you a Holiday filled with chocolate-covered potato chips!



Milk Chocolate, and try new Dubai - Style Dark Chocolate!

I mean, really.
