Little Bits 1.0

Just a short note to share a chuckle.   

We have yet to visit a country outside the USA that didn't offer us the opportunity to purchase Pringles.  With the exception of Coca-Cola it's my opinion that Pringles is the single most exported food item from the USA.  

Asia is no exception to our experience, but what is unique about our current location is the newest in our collection of world flavors for Pringles. We have seen curry Pringles, chili Pringles, salt and vinegar Pringles... but yesterday at the store we found these:


Yep.  Those are seaweed Pringles.  

Now I'm actually not averse to seaweed as food;  I love it in sushi, and I've been known to creep out my kid with a seaweed and squid salad at the Japanese buffet,  but I'll probably give this new item a pass.  

Call me crazy.

LOL! THEY DO SOUND WAY TOO HEALTHY. YOU CAN ALWAYS SPIT IT OUT. PRINGLES DEFINITELY NEEDS TO WORK ON THE VISUAL APPEAL OF THIS PRODUCT. THAT BIG OLD SQUARE OF SEAWEED LOOKS A LOT LIKE SPINACH, WHICH MAKES ME THINK OF POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN - TOOT TOOT!

Not only what Kris said, but how could you be sure that it was seaweed and not mold you were eating? Ewwww.

I remember seeing those in Thailand. I gave them a miss too.
