Tales of the Salty Bag

 I just ate way too many nachos. I put some chopped up garlic sausage, perogies, cheese and onion on them. Bangarang. Sooooooo, I'm dipping back into the phone notes for tonight's chip review. Without further adieu let me take you back to July 6, 2021 when I had some Great Value Hot Chicken..Nashville-Style!! flavoured potato chips. Did you know these chips are free from artificial flavours and colours and are inspired by Nashville (I find it weird how meat flavoured chips can be free from artificial flavours). These Great Value chips are ridged..mid sized ridges to be exact..with a light crunch. The flavour, well the flavour has a little bit of charcoal and tastes like bbq'd chicken. There's a dash of brown sugar sweetness here and there. The heat is dry and mid ranged that builds the deeper you get into the bag. Hot chicken is a very apt description. Good spicy chip, Great Value once again lives up to their name. I couldn't think of a band from Nashville so I did

 President's Choice World Off Lavours (what are Lavours?..[ohhhh, World OF Flavours {*badum chhhhh*}]) Taco flavour (Mild [doux] heat). Do these PC chips taste like tacos? Yes. *drops mic* Nice big ridges, similar to wavy Lays, with a great mid weight crunch. I taste taco seasoning, cheese, a bit of sour cream and a hint of onion and lettuce (the picture on the bag is pretty, pretty accurate [how do you simulate lettuce flavour, maybe it's just the picture on the bag that makes me think I'm tasting it..but I'm pretty sure there's some lettuce up in this bag]). If you've ever had taco dip, that's these but in potato chip form. I feel as though the people who concocted the seasoning for these chips had a bag of Old Dutch Mexican Chili and were like, "yeah, those are okay, we can do better", ran with a taco seasoning based chip and nailed it. The mild heat label/symbol on the bag is pretty accurate. I'd like to have a crack at some taco dip with t

 I'm sitting here listening to the new Kitty Kat Fan Club 12", "I love music. I love my friends. I just want to have fun. All I want is love. Sweet Love." or All I Want Is Love . The A side is comprised of 4 new songs. The B side is the 7 songs that made up KKFC's first 2 7"s. I've loved everything that KKFC have put out and this is not an exception (and it's nice to have the 2 7's on the B side so I don't have to keep flipping). I wrote about their (hopefully) first (of many) LP here and their first 7" here . The new songs are, well, KKFC songs. Jangly tweeish pop rock, some synth and I think organ too?..they're the sonic equivalent of heading out to wakeskate on a glass lake after a sun-shower with a rainbow overhead. I can't find the new 4 songs on bandcamp, they're however shown as singles on the KKFC spotify . Do I wish that the 4 new songs were 10 or 12, yeah..but if that's my only complaint about a release,
