Potato chips are one of my favorite junk foods. They have them here, even Lay's brand, but they taste different. And by "different" I mean "worse". So finally I tried the local kinds and settled on a particular brand that I like. If you buy a personal-sized bag of these chips, there is no writing at all on the bag. It's just a small, clear plastic bag, sealed across the top.
Today I was noticing the information on the bigger version. Its simplicity (or lack of information) made me laugh. Therefore, I shall reproduce said information here for your enjoyment. I hope that it makes you laugh, too.

Hi Leslie. I can't wait to see you this summer.
Your note on chips made me laugh. Yesterday I had ketchup flavored chips. And you know what? They tasted like ketchup flavored chips. ;) My bro and I used to dip our chips in ketchup when we were younger so it brought back great memories.
The other flavor I like here in Senegal is paprika.
