Default (2009-06-02) NS-RFC: Potato chips (a.k.a. crisps)... or chocolate?

I chose "Why can't I have both?" but it really should
have been MCINL.

It depends on a lot of things . . .

Like when was the offer made? Morning, afternoon, night?
Right after a meal? Before a meal? Between meals.
If I had just eaten a meal, including dessert, I might not
want something sweet on top of the dessert. A meat without
dessert, then I'd probably want the chocolate.

Is the offer for something to eat right then or something
to take home or save for later? Probably chocolate in the second
case.

What kind of chocolate and what kind of chips? High quality or
low quality? Milk or dark? (Milk is preferable but wouldn't
necessarily turn down dark.) Chips? Well, there's a million
different chips with a million different flavors. What about
something to dip them in - salsa? sour cream dip? etc.
If someone offered plain corn chips I'd surely pass. Never
liked them. But good quality blue corn tortilla chips with
I good salsa would be hard to turn down. Potato chips - well,
I'd probably pass on Pringles but a good kettle-cooked chip
with a nice dip would be hard to resist.

And what am I in the mood for? If I have to eat it right
away it would depend on whether I'm craving savory or sweet
at the moment. If it's for later then I would probably go
with the chocolate.
