These are crackers, that taste like Pringles. But better, really. I'm glad the Chinese share my obsession with potatoes. I just wish they also shared my obsession with cheese.

Finger Licking Braised Pork Flavor
Oh, I love the name of this one. The Chinese are obsessed with KFC, so I'm sure that's why the "finger licking" part comes into play, but braised pork? I had to buy this one. In homage to Don's previous post, this is the one that is reminiscent of Violet Beauregarde and the three-course-meal chewing gum; it tastes like an entire Chinese meal in a chip. Which is a little disconcerting. It does, however, lead to the obvious, and no doubt forthcoming, chip creation: Finger Licking Braised Pork and Blueberry Flavor. If it's good enough for Violet...
Even Emma won't eat them
Yes, you read the package right. Blueberries are great in some things... muffins, pancakes, straight into your mouth, etc. Blueberries are not so great in other things... like potato chips.
We already have blueberry issues in our home. If we ever let Emma get to the package, she eats them all before anyone else gets a chance. It is a really obnoxious aberration in her otherwise unselfish nature. We have tried to remind her of Violet's fate in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but it has no effect (I'm making light of this, but it has been a real family fight. In an effort to enforce real-world consequences for her impulsiveness, we once made her go to church with a stomachache after eating a pound of blueberries that no one else got to eat in muffins).
The good news is that they really do taste like potatoes and blueberries (slightly salty). That is also the bad news. Perhaps we can use them as some sort of aversion therapy for Emma by forcing her to eat the whole bag. For now, we have the rest of the unfinished package (minus about 10 chips) in the cupboard. Even she won't eat them.
