STOCK MARKET CRASH CHIP

On October 10, 2008, C-4 decided to embrace the economic crisis by exploring the future of the chip world. In these tough times, it is important to know what kind of bag is worth your buck (or two). So we embarked on the impossible journey and came out with quite the interesting outcome. Rafael brought Garden Salsa Sun Chips, arguing that in the time of economic crisis you can not afford both chips and salsa or vegetables, so this was a perfect combination of all three.
Kristina, a potential member of C-4 brought Munchies: Cooler Ranch Mix. This was Kristina's first chip club meeting and she successfully argued that Munchies help satisfy the entire family all at the same time with the ranch flavor. Since Munchies consist of a mixture of Cheetos, Rold Gold Pretzels and Sun Chips that even in a diverse family with different tastes, every member will find what they want. Rachel, another potential C-4 member also brought Munchies, but Flammin Hot flavored. She argued along the lines of Kristina on why Munchies were diverse, but brought up the valid argument with the Flammin' flavor. Rachel stated that Flammin' Hots were the better way to go because in the time of trying to save money one might not be able to afford lots of spices or flavoring, and the spicy flammin' hot lasts longer since you can not handle all the flavor at once. She also brought up the valid point that after eating Flammin' Hot Munchies one can use your fingers to paint afterwards. Is it possible we found the artsy chip?
I, (Jackie) brought Doritos 2 in 1 bags. But to be honest, these were an immediate failure. Not only do they not really organize the two separate flavors, but I am not sure one is getting their dollars worth. Are these flavors equally distributed? This is something C-4 has yet to investigate but as for a good deal for your poor taste buds, Doritos 2 in 1 flavor bags are not the way to go.
Our hometown proud Chicago Member, Alana, brought none other than Jays Potato Chips. Not only because she is a representing her home but she also received a coupon from Krunchers that she felt she had to use and this was the biggest bag she could get for free. Way to use coupons Alana! This brings the point that maybe before chip shopping you have to take into account: sales, coupons, local markets, etc. So keep these things in mind as well!
Here, after much debate, is our final statement on this topic:
IN THE DAYS OF ECONOMIC CRISIS GO BUY YOURSELF A BAG OF MUNCHIES FLAMMIN HOT ARE THE BEST BAG FOR YOUR BUCK!

and to quote Alana: "Buying Munchies bags would show a real economic crisis if people started eating the pretzels because no other option"

it seems we have to accept chumps in these hard times...
