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.
