Tostitos

Tostitos is my God!

We were walking through the store a couple days ago looking for some snacks to take to a party. I was making a Queso to take along and we needed chips I could eat because I can't handle corn tortilla chips. I grabbed one of the only chips that can hold up to salsa or Queso, wavy potato chips (Pringles is another), and headed back to the cart. Then I stopped.

My peripheral vision's always been pretty good and I turned my head, as I realized I'd seen something that was almost too good to be true. There it was. My eyes had not played tricks on me. My mind had not seen something that was not there. Yes, there they were! Flour Tortilla Tostitos!!!

Well, I made a giggle of girlish glee (which was rather strange, I’ll admit, coming from my maleness), eliciting many stares from many of the aged people who were shopping around us because they knew not the source of my glee, nor could they comprehend. My wife turned, looking askance at what had made me make noises that only girls on a playground or a debutante who has just found a half off sale at The Gap should ever make. I pointed at the label, slowly running my finger along the bottom of the words like someone showing off the prizes in a game show and her look of surprise and wonder, though much less pronounced than mine was, still held the “no-way!” sort of pause. Then we both said “WOOHOO!” as I gingerly placed them in the cart as though they were some ancient artifact in a fragile reliquary.

And yes, oh yes, they are good!

;)
 
Awesome story man. I'll have to try those soon.

Thanks for the tip. Giggles like a girl in a shopping center with everything half off.lol

heh! Corn tortilla chips seem to irritate my bowels. Not those made with corn flour, but those made with corn meal. Thus, things like Doritos and restaurant style white corn tortilla chips and Fritos were off my approved list. It's been a terrible headache trying to find something else to deal with my nacho cheese fix after the loss of Doritos, but luckily Chees-its finally came out with a corn flour cracker with nacho cheese flavor, though they don't taste 100% like Doritos, alas.

So, with the loss of corn chips I also lost a chip that can stand up to and tastes good with salsa and queso. Potato chips kinda get soggy and you either have to have a thicker one, like the ones with ridges or use something more like Pringles. I always wished they'd just make a flour tortilla chip and finally someone has done so. I may even find out real soon what they're like in some homemade nachos. MMMMMMMMMM!!! NAAACHOOOS!!!!!!

ill have to put those on the shopping list for when i am done with this liquid diet. ive been looking for the same thing. one thing this diet will definitely do is make you appreciate food exponentially more than you did before. the number of foods on my "to eat" list is growing large
 
Yaaaaaayyyyyy!!! I am in total agreement! These chips are soooooooo good. They are like a flour taco salad shell in smaller bites!!!! :thumleft:

Hi Dan Wow I'm happy for you. I know how it is to find something you like and tolerate at the same time. I like the Nacho thing but I have trouble with any of the dips that are assocaited with them.
 
hahaha! that is awesome - i go through like 2 bags of these things a week! i was just saying last night that i don't know what i ever did before them! we sound like we're hired advertisers for tostitos. . .but it's so true that it's such a great find when you have something you like and doesn't send you running or double you over in pain! yay!!!

Yeah, I had a similar experience with a baked potatoe chip. figured since they were a healthy alternative, that they'd taste like crap. But, they tasted so good that the 'healthy' folks at the party started eating them up too. boy, did that piss me off.

Recently, someone picked up some non alcholic beer for me. now it tasted like crap..

Oh, well, you can't win em all
