Don't forget MSG! It gets a bad image, but is Delicious and NOT poison.

EDIT: shit, what a terrible typo. that was not meant to be funny/sarcasm - it was meant to be literal, that MSG is delicious and basically safe.

Sorry..

It especially put it on chips that have no flavor - or when the chips are only lightly salted.

Works wonders!
