potato chips

The first time when I saw something stating 2% fat milk or sugarless...etc., it is in a grocery store called the "Ralph's" in LA. At that time there were lots of various tastes of potato chips. Until last week, I saw this one "Black truffle" potato chips at HK$7 by Jack and Jill. Jack and Jill's chips might be the first chips landing HK back in the early 70's. The Chinese name was pronounced as "Chun Chun".

1. Black truffle powder is packed separately and you need to sprinkle it onto the chips and shake shake shake. Taste-wise, it's quite nice though a bit salty. 2. chips sent from LA with 25% less fat by Pringles. So do you remember the Chinese name of Pingles? It's 紳士 (gentleman) - apparently the translation is from the logo.

that black truffle chips taste pretty good but it's a bit salty to me (maybe normal to most people as I don't eat salty food much). Anyway, I believe it's artificial flavour or maybe from some farm grown truffle somewhere in China, as you know there are many "scientists" in China who are very innovative. They inherit more than the "four historical inventions" of our ancient ascendants.

Hi May, that 25% less fat chip is from a beautiful lady in Pasadena, more precisely South Pasadena.

Truffle from China may be created from the dirty mud on the street.
If they can invent fake egg, fake milk then why not fake truffle.
Mi May, I think you can get the 25% low fat chip at Pavilion on Fair Oaks in S. Pasadena, or Whole Foods on Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena.
But not every Pavilion has this as my friend cannot get this in Arcadia Pavilion.
Let me know if you cannot get it so I can get some for you. I buy this chip twice a month.

Hi Sea,
Your joking comment may confuse and mislead the readers.
But that is good too so the readers can never tell who you really referring to.
P.S. Also, you may need a pair of eye glasses too. He he.

To Anonymous, nowadays there are many things complimentary; so why not we get to be more "complimentary". No harm...
