They are potato chips. Outside of offering a couple of unique flavors(Old Bay) there is nothing remarkable about them.

Herr's are Old Bay - Utz are a cheap Old Bay knock off that sucks in comparison. You should be burned at the stake for that error.

[Although I will say having a fryer of my own now and making my own Old Bay chips homemade batch #1 > either - but we'll see if that was just a fluke when I get around to another]

I think that' what it is, but I couldn't GIS the correct bottle, but it was definitely that shape. The weird tear drop shape. They were awesome.

Made me think of this stuff. I think I was like the only person who liked it. Everyone else said it was like swallowing snot.

My younger brother and his girlfriend drank that stuff somewhat regularly when it first came out. I never really "got it".

That shit was disgusting.

Yea that was a failure at trying to mass market bubble tea during that stupid bubble tea craze.

BrutulTM · Apr 30, 2015

I like bubble tea. I don't know why but I find having surprise globs of snot in my drink enjoyable.

Also, if you want to make your own carbonated water/soda you can DIY it for about the same price as a sodastream and the CO2 refills are practically free. You can also buy real coke syrup at Sam's Club for a fraction of the cost of the Sodastream versions.

You have to buy giant fountain dispenser style bags, right?

Bubble Tea is nasty shit. Fucking asians eat it up tho. I also hate all the Bubble yogurt drink places.

I'm officially anti-pretzel bun

I like the idea of the pretzel bun, and they taste good, they're just always way too dense/dry for whatever sandwich you are eating on them.

Quiznos has pretzel bread now, got my usual Chicken Carbonara and it was just way, way too dry.

Mures · Apr 30, 2015

Pretzel buns are known to do that, I do enjoy the pretzel bun burgers at tgifridays though.

Cinge · Apr 30, 2015

Hmm the pretzel hot-dog buns @ sonic were always good. Maybe it was the nacho cheese and bacon covering up for them though.

So i went to Wegman's because I have to do this shitty gluten free thing now and they have a lot of stuff there. Lo and behold, what did I find... 2 of them in fact, but only 2

Yeah, but I don't think it goes bad or even needs refrigeration.

Good to see, seemed unlikely they'd stopped stocking it as a whole. Was figuring it was just distribution opting out which likely could've been requested (even the 100k sq ft stores only carried about 2/3 of our total universal stock, ignoring regional stuff) - but looks like it was simply an out of stock issue.

But you've worked with it? How hard is it to siphon what you need?

Yo Judge Hodgman always buzz markets Utz. Should I try to have some delivered down here south?

Let me be clear, Utz ripple and French onion brand is amazing. Most utz are so-so with their Carolina BBQ being the only flavor that stands out. Now...

You must order Herr's for they are vastly superior in everyway possible. Ancient is talking about the shitty Utz knockoff brand "Chesapeake Bay seasoned" and should be whipped for confusing the holy brand Old Bay Salt with that crappy generic seasoning. Herrs official old bay chips will blow away your god damn tastebuds and then some. Also practically any flavor from Herr's will own most if not all major chip brands

They are my favorite chip.

I have not worked with it. From what I've seen in restaurants though, it's a bag in a box and you just screw on a hose with a valve on the end and I imagine that you could get out as much as you need without much trouble.

The Ancient_sl · Apr 30, 2015

You and I probably have different definitions of "too much trouble" given you suggested to build your own soda stream to save about 5 bucks a month.

From what I know about those bags working in restaurants is they are prone to messiness and that's with a system designed to use them. I'd love it if it was actually an easy solution, but I highly doubt it.

Soygen · Apr 30, 2015

I'm going to build that sodastream rip off. It says it carbonates way better than a soda stream. Mmmmm fizzy milk.

BrutulTM · Apr 30, 2015

If you consider screwing this thing onto the bag and depressing the lever at the end to be "too much trouble" then you may be right.
