Some Things Are Not Meant to Be Funky
I predict a Heinz brand manager is about to be fired - The brand manager who thought up Funky Fries, french fries flavored with chocolate, cinnamon, or sour cream. Sales of that nasty puppy were so bad that Heinz is claiming that is one reason for its fourth-quarter profit miss.
I love chocolate as much as the next chocaholic, but chocolate-flavored french fries? Ewwwwww.

And yet, if you eat potato chips immediately after eating chocolate, they taste better (to me, anyway). Never tried the chocolate-covered ones. Didn't seem quite right to me.
I am a fried potato purist. A little salt is it.
Mmm. Potato chips. Alas. Diet.

Ah well, at least "we'll always have green ketchup!"

Sour cream doesn't sound so bad (although sour cream and onion would be better) but who's going to feed their kids fried chocolate potatoes?
They might as well have put a "Bad Mom" tattoo in every bag.
