Ah...the simple potato chip! Not enough in-your-face hard sell here. Back in the days of yore the simple potato chip was just about all we had to snack on besides Fritos and pretzels. These days there are all sorts of bastardizations; Pringles, Sun Chips and those hideously disgusting baked things they pass off as snack food.

One of MFK Fisher's favorite foods, although she claimed to eat them only once every three years, secure in the knowledge that "....they hang like square cellophane fruit on wire trees in all the grocery stores".

Makes me more nostalgic for drive-ins than potato chips Ahhh, those were the days Remember the heaters and speakers you clipped inside your car window? I remember going with my whole family, kids all in p.j.'s and I remember some, ok many, romantic dates, too. ;) ;) ;)
Didn't spend much time at the concession stand. That's what Dad's and boyfriends were for......ha ha.
