Lay's Spicy Lobster
Celeste dug into the snack stash and pulled out a bag of chips. "Can I have these?" she asked.
I thought about it for a moment. I was planning to do a post about them but hadn't gotten around to it, so part of me was thinking that I should tell her to wait. But heck, she's my daughter and it wasn't the only bag of chips in the sea, so I said "Sure, go ahead."
She walked out of the room, happy.
One minute later she walked back in with the open bag and a horrified expression on her face.
This is that very bag of chips, and even after her complete rejection of them after one nibble of a chip I still tried them.
That is bravery ... or maybe stupidity ... or sheer bloodymindedness. Nevertheless ...
The chips have a scent that's kind of like Thai fish sauce. I suppose that's appropriate.
For appearance they're pretty unremarkable, with a light dusting of orange powder. If I didn't know better I'd think they were ordinary cheesy chips or maybe barbecue.
The flavor, surprisingly, isn't bad. They taste a bit like some of the fishy or nori-wrapped crackers in the cans of Hapi Party Mix - a little savory, a little fishy, and a little sweet - though these are a lot saltier.

So they're not exactly something I'd seek out again, but I don't think they deserved the grimace that Celeste gave them. Then again, I think she'd been wanting chocolate before that so it might be connected to the difference between what she wanted and what she got.
