By try I mean I just want to take a few bites of one. Obviously not going to go to Colorado for that thing or make it myself. But if I ever see it on a menu somewhere bet your ass I'll order it. Taste two bites of it and then toss it in disgust.

It's pretty good. I'm also local ish to it, so I've been to Nick's Cafe which is a small hole in the wall restraunt run by that Chef from the wiki article.

Can't fault him for getting a bacon king. It's the best thing BK has released in years

Haul for Science (all except burgers under $1)

What the fuck is Kranch

I don't know why, but if I'm going to eat a salad with 'greens', I don't want fucking fruit in it. That is what fruit salads are for.

That's pretty limiting for your salads. Apples and craisins are great in salads. Or those Asian salads with mandarin oranges? Legit good.

I assume a ketchup-ranch combo.

Yeah, I had to google it. Their website describes it at "a mouthwatering mix of ketchup, ranch, and a special blend of spices. "

Fruit doesn't belong on a salad. That I'll agree with

Now, I'll eat a fruit salad any day. Any. Fucking. Day.

But fruit on a savory salad? There's a place for that, and it's called communist north Korea.

Conefed interested for a chip review from your spread. Always see the Walmart chips but afraid to try.

I too, do not enjoy fruit in a salad.

I am a Walmart chip advocate and at under a dollar they are worth a try. In general modern chips suck with regards to seasoning. Even more expensive chips have far too little sauce to them, which leaves me feeling like a dickhead when I pay three times as much for premium. btw whatever happened to Utz? those were always on point.
If you're looking for a dipping chip, there is pretty much no reason to not go Great Value, they are just that close and the dippings cover the gap.
What Great Value doesn't have that you might expect is burnt and reject chips. Some cheap chips are littered with this. At worst, you'll get lackluster. But you'll always get a nice crunch. BBQ is probably their weakest, because BBQ leans on seasoning. Sour Cream is fine. and the originals are fine. Fancy brands are better with their originals, they usually have a larger chip with better structure, but for 92 cents for like 14 oz, come on.

Pictured we have corn chips, scoops, jalepeno kettle, and jalepeno jack doritos/tortilla.

Corn chips I thought were flavored, and maybe they were and I grabbed a plain sitting next to it, but these were like 78 cents and I can't tell the difference between them and brand flavorwise. Brand are larger for more convenient scooping.
Scoops may not have been pictured because they weren't for science, I know they're good as covered above.
The kettle are a letdown, but they were $1. they're not great but they have a crunch and prickly heat. I may not get them again, but they serve well as a chip and are certainly worth the price. They're sturdy enough for dipping also.
Doritos - these actually did taste kind of burnt. their flavor is also a bit off. They have a good smell and initial bite but have a kinda sour cheese aftertaste. They're only $1 so they're fine, but out of all them, I'd be embarrassed to bring these another's house.

I'm king of junk salads, when I worked in restaurants I used to throw whatever was dead ontop of a house salad and that was my meal. I took that mentality home with repurposing leftovers. Fruit add freshness, like i'm being flanked by flavor.

I like the Great Value Jalapeno Tortilla better than the Dorito's version. They're light and crisp with a great flavor.

it is known

Went looking for a Herr's Jalapeno Popper cheesy poof fix but they were out. Consolation prize:
