Puts a whole new spin to the traditional party snack food...which reminds me, and a little off topic, but is anyone interested in the superbowl this Sunday? I work with cars.com and if you're one of those guys that gets a crack out of the commercials, check out this one! It'll air during the game, but I've been allowed to leak it to you all now :) <br /><br />http://www.viddler.com/explore/nkraft/videos/1/Danhttp://www.viddler.com/explore/nkraft/videos/1/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-11671947443714741422010-01-17T20:59:34.750-08:002010-01-17T20:59:34.750-08:00Aaaah parenthood.Aaaah parenthood.Bikejujuhttp://www.bikejuju.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-38334958263840063722010-01-17T18:54:07.532-08:002010-01-17T18:54:07.532-08:00Interesting survival trick - though I think I'...Interesting survival trick - though I think I'd eat the Fritos instead.....Dan Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609122101907983132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-34501166441788796132010-01-16T12:04:15.277-08:002010-01-16T12:04:15.277-08:00The bag of unopened fritos does double duty as a &...The bag of unopened fritos does double duty as a "pillow" for the semi-burly man in all of us.<br /><br />Wouldn't suggest you continue to use the large brick of magnesium to scoot the burning pile of fritos back onto the paper bag, though!<br /><br />Way to save those left over fritos for the starving children in China, Kent.<br /><br />Word.Filings from the benchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13783339248876577516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-18665836505480807522010-01-16T11:09:54.736-08:002010-01-16T11:09:54.736-08:00After seeing your frito video, I came across a sim...After seeing your frito video, I came across a similar tip in an issue (Sept '06) of Backpacker magazine.
