If you breakdown Beanitos per serving it's only 67 cents. I am willing
to spend that to support something other than corn chips. Because corn
chips already have the upper hand in the form of 18 billion per year
in corn subsidies to the farmers that grow the corn for the chips.

All in all we are use to those lower prices for chips because of these
subsidies that will run out in 5 years. I say support the companies
that are willing to go the extra mile for our health and not have to
take handouts from our government which is really our pockets as the
American taxpayer!

Like I said, the health benefits are more important to me. :-)
There is no question that bean chips are better than corn chips, and one
hell of a lot more satisfying so you eat fewer of them!

You didn't mention that you are the marketing manager for
Beanitos.

While you may have a point, honesty and straight-forwardness is
the best policy on Usenet. Now I may never try them.

I think a complaint to the FTC is in order.
This appears to be a serious violation of
Section 5 of 15 U.S.C. 45.

How much is a serving? Weight/ Chips?

Your loss sweetheart... They really are rather good and if they increase
in popularity, the laws of supply and demand might bring the price down.

And for the record, I have no financial interest in them.
Just nutritional interest. <g>

1 oz. A bag is $.3.69/6oz. No junk food (errr... snack) tax in
Texas except for soda.

Of course but marketing guys think they are exempt from ideas like
honesty...

A bag is 6 oz. A serving size is 1 oz. or approx.10 chips (reading my
bag label out of my bedroom trash bin). And that really is enough and
quite satisfying. :-)

Well, I still plan to continue purchasing Beanitos. They are tasty and
a LOT healthier than corn chips. I'll also continue to share them with
people...

Huh. Haven't seen those in the chip isle. Seems like something I'd
notice if they were there.

How is it you're seeing my posts? Didn't you twice
say recently that you killfiled me? Do you also
cheat at hide-and-seek?

Clearly, he's a psycho. Why else would he keep *your* address?

I think they are only in Texas at the moment. It's a new product and I
had to hunt for it. It's next to the Corn chips and not very visible.
They'd likely do better trying them on an end cap.

The guy that takes care of the chip aisle did not even know what they
were or that they carried them. <g> The vendors do most of the stocking.

I caught up with the stock boy later in the store and showed him the
bag. ;-)

I'd heard them advertised on KLBJ Austin radio so I went looking for
them. I really really do like them!

I hope you like them as much as I did...
I like chips but tend to avoid them for obvious reasons.

Because Om quoted it, dumbass. You'll notice I was piggybacking
off of her posts.

When I reinstalled my newsreader on the 26th, you were the first
one into the killfile, Mark. You lasted a whole 15 minutes, IIRC.

Anybody want to buy my yapping, stalking poodle? Only $.10, and
I'll even pay for the shipping to Ethiopia.

I almost hate to give her up. She's got my other crocodile-skin
boot up her ass and I could never wrench it out)
