I appreciate the offer and all, but I don’t want to go on “a Mediterranean vacation in a bag.” I want to go on a Mediterranean vacation IN THE FUCKING MEDITERRANEAN. That bag doesn’t even have windows. Yeah, best vacation ever. I’m in a dark, slimy bag, covered with powdered cheese. “But you’re in the Mediterranean!” No, fuck you. I’m IN A POTATO CHIP BAG. Oh wait, I’m dead now. I suffocated. It’s your fault. And I hope there’s no cheese in heaven because I hate cheese now. Worst vacation ever.

They’re delicious, reminds me of my youth in Tuscany.
Dill and Sour Cream was their only good flavor, and now it’s discontinued. 🙁
Does anyone know where to get good dill-flavored chips now? They’re everywhere in Canada but here, it seems we have to settle for sour cream & onion.
The Thai chips are amazing.
If I had to take a vacation in a bag in order to eat the Thai chips, I’d do it.
The only place I’ve found them for sale, though, is at Five Below. What’s that about?
I don’t care that much about Kettle Chips, but I really disapprove of the all-caps “VACATION” use there.
wow. that’s a bit much. giving a roundhouse to a metaphor. Lindy West you’re a bully!
Favorite kettle chips EVER.
Wow, talk about somebody who sounds like they NEED a vacation…
My Suave shampoo bottle says: Say yes to beautiful without paying the price. So far no luck. Maybe if I poured some into that Kettle Chip bag…
Do they serve nachos there?
It’s pure coincidence that this popped into my RSS reader at exactly 4:20, right?
Lindy, you’re fine. The bag is sealed in the factory, not after you purchase it. You won’t suffocate. It doesn’t do your fluttery little bird heart any good to worry so.
Now, wash off and hop back into my pocket before someone steps on you.
don’t you DARE speak against cheese.
Are you having Issues today, Lindy?
You need to try their Buffalo & Bleu.
Tuscan smushkin, that crap has been played out for like a decade now, and what with you having the best Taco Sauce EVAR it don’t matter. Shoot, get thee down to a proper Taquería, one thats got some Lindy’s FI–INE Taco Sauce. Oh Yeah.
I love you Lindy West. I laughed so hard I peed a little.
It’s barfarific marketing, yes, but Kettle chips are delicious.
Eat them with cottage cheese to slow heart rate.
FangDoc, they have the Thai chips at the Roosevelt QFC. At least they did on Tuesday.
FangDoc, I’ve bought the Thai chips at my neighborhood Safeway.
medeii, I think the Tim’s dill pickle chips are pretty tasty.
The Onion had it first.
You are a batshit, crazy, boring lunatic.
What 15 said, only I didn’t pee because I just went before reading this.
What 21 said. Ever notice how not enough people giggle uncontrollably on buses? Try it. Feels good.
Oh, & they taste like too-salty-BBQ. Yuck.
“Worst vacation ever.” But best rant ever.
I love me some Lindy. LOVE. In a bag.
Kettle chips are probably the best chips you can by in a bag. Buffalo and Bleu, Yogurt and Green Onion, Cheddar and Beer, Honey Dijon, I love them all. I have yet to have a bad Kettle Chip.
No I do not work for them, I am just a fan.
Just read the ingredient list of any flavored chips & run far, far away.
Tim’s Wasabi flavor is awesome. Hate anybody’s salt-and-vinegar chips. But I love malt vinegar and seasoned salt on fresh skin-on fries (like Steak Escape’s). Go figger.
generally speaking, tuscany isn’t a “mediterranean vacation” destination
You’re missing out if you don’t try the Thai chips. They made me get over my fear of spicy foods– now I’ll eat a bag in a sitting.
And how can you not find Kettle Chips everywhere? They’re at every QFC and Safeway I can think of.
Would an order of fried rice from Golden Royal Dragon Palace Garden be a trip to Shanghai in a cardboard box?
Suddenly I’m getting hungry…
I heard Meredith Kercher ate some of these right before she met up with Amanda Knox
“bleu” cheese does not exist. it is not a real thing. kettle chips. FAIL.
You know you ate them shits anyway, girl.
I wish Tim’s would bring back the Coney Island chips. By some amazing feet of sorcery they got a chip to taste like a hot dog with ketsup and musturd! It was like the Joe Louis of chips. Truly a champion. Proving the USA’s greatness amongst nations and first in out of sight snackfoods!
Bonus if you where a little stoned sitting on a bench at Alki pensively munching on a bag on a mildly pissy day in october….it was almost like you were there…..almost, almost… not really, but kinda…kinda..
Well arent you just funny.
Ease up, Lindy. Didja fall into the vinegar chips by mistake?
These days, you take your vacations where you can get them.
thank you, Lindy – this made me laugh on an otherwise wretched day.
This was a nice break from all the seriousness.
Bubbles’s comment was by far the best…
