I enjoyed reading this fun story about a conspiracy to add a drug to potato chips. If they add it to potato chips, they will add it to other food. That must be the root of the obesity problem in America. Now I must go. ET has a home in my backyard for orphaned space aliens, and they're calling for more potato chips!

    You're hilarious!! Thank you so much for the awesome review... You truly "got" the spirit of the story. :) I love it!!
    There is no way I am to blame for the extra pounds that I drag around. It has to be a government conspiracy. And, I think you're right... there has to be something in ice cream and all forms of chocolate... it's the only logical explanation. :)
    Thank you!!

    Chocolate is known to be addictive. That explains Oreo cookies. Why wouldn't they put the same ingredient in other food?

    Exactly! Which means it's everyone's fault but my own that I'm so chunky!!
reply by heart of Lou on 16-Aug-2018
    Haha. Be thankful you're 'chunky'. calling me 'chunky' would be an understatement. It means a lot that I can blame the food companies! Hey, the drug companies must be in on it. People have to be sick, or at least think they are, before drug companies and the medical profession can make money.

A brilliant, fun entry for the contest. I'll keep telling myself there's something in the potato chips. It's not my fault, not my lack of willpower, it's a chemical the evil government have added, lol.

One little thing:

Absentmindedly, I pilfered through - I think you might mean 'rifled through', here. Pilfered means you stole something.

    You are definitely not at fault! We can't be responsible for the government making us potato chip dependent! :)
    Oh my goodness, I have been using the word pilfer all my life. It's always been synonymous with searching or rummaging through something, to me. I could never steal anything so I will definitely change the word in the story. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. I really appreciate it.
    Thank you for the awesome review!!

Lol! What a funny story...I myself believe this conspiracy theory to be true...if you don't have that first chip, you're okay... haha and the government using the money to house aliens is ludicrously funny! Great job!

    Thank you!! It has to be true!! There is no way I would admit that it's my fault I can't put down the Lays... I needed someone to blame... ;)
    I appreciate your review and the kind words. :)

It makes me sick that I only have a five left! Now that's a conspiracy to look into.
Bunny, what a wonderful sense of humor you have. Loved every second I read. And no typo's!

Truly gotta copy and paste this one:
'what has to be the mind of someone whose
elevator doesn't quite go all the way to the top
floor..' (whatcha talkin' bout, bunny, I think I
resemble that remark!)

QUESTION: how did you get rid of the empty bag?
PLUS: I believe the chocolate thing. You took away the chips and then find them chocolat-izing. I've heard that salty/sweet flavor buds compete for attention. One always creates the desire for the other.

I believe.

    Awwww... thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you for reading my story and for the kind and humorous words! This is not my normal kind of story so it was fun to be kind of silly.
    I can't disclose what happened to all of the bags... It could be dangerous, and I like you way too much.
    The chocolate thing is very real! I love salty and sweet, so very much! My taste buds are in a constant battle.
    By the way, I think your elevator is off just enough to make you fun!! :) Good to know I have an ally... ;)

ahahahah Hello Bunny, this was a very different read, what a conspiracy, and it explains my love of potato chips, LOL. I always tell my husband I love him more than 'chips', as I do have a great love of them.

You actually hooked me in, and it wasn't until the end of the writing that I realized it was for the 'conspiracy' contest, so best of luck. I thought I had the answer to all my problems, too. heheehee

I noticed no errors and this was a very entertaining and original piece of writing, one I would recommend, cheers, Ana.

    Thank you so much!! I would love it if there was someone or something I could blame my addiction to chips on, but it's just me, and a lack of will power! Actually, I have a lot of willpower, it's the WON'Tpower I need! Ha ha ha...
    Thank you so much for the awesome review and kind words.
    If you want to blame the government for your addiction to chips, your secret is safe with me...I won't tell a soul ;)

Undoubtedly it's all Donald Trump's fault. And all this talk about him and those centrefold girls and his friendship with Putin is nothing but a method of diverting the truth. The biggest danger to the world is crisp chips.
I enjoyed the irreverence of your write

    There are so many serious things in the world right now that I tried to be lighthearted and just a bit silly. However, I take my potato chips very seriously... and there has to be a reason I can't put the bag down. Sure isn't MY fault!! It MUST be a conspiracy of some kind!! Ha Ha
    Thanks for the review!! I sure appreciate it. ;)
    Have a blessed day!!

    Silly is my favourite language but stupid is the one I practice most. Keep it up.

what an imagination you have and what a clever contest entry for Conspiracy.
For a fraction of a second, there, in the beginning, I thought, "really?" I wonder how she found out? You had me going!
I know this will sound pious and unreal, but I really don't eat potato chips, at least I never buy them. Not that they aren't good, it's just I'm more an ice cream person, which is probably more fattening than potato chips. But I do feel kinda pious not eating them. :)
At any rate, it's a cute story and I wish you luck. very original.

    HI!
    I replied to your review but the site is saying I didn't... so, just in case, I wanted to thank you again for your kind words and review. I mentioned in my first reply that I wished I didn't like chips so much because they are horrible for me. And, I don't think you sound pious at all; I think you sound like you make healthier decisions!! :)
    Thank you again for your review and comments. I really appreciate it.

    Bunny, you cute thing. I'm an ice creamaholic. - big mug full every night. and I cook with bacon grease - southern style. terrible.
    I did get your first review, though - thank you. don't know why it said I didn't. anyway, thanks again!
