BAKED Potato Chips

So... I've been eating this "Fully loaded Baked Potato" Potato Chips:

All the while i thought i was eating BAKED potato chips. Today i realized i was only eating a bag of Baked Potato-flavored chips.

 What i should be getting is this:
See the difference?

 First time i've tried this BAKED Potato Chips was when my Ate Sue let me try it when we where in HK. When we came back home in Manila we somewhat exchanged a silent vow to look for this bag of chips in the nearest supermarket. But sad to say, we don't have it anywhere here :(

And Now, Chocolates

Okay, if God will allow me to become another person, i want to be:

Number 1. A wine connoisseur
Number 2. A chocolate connoisseur
Number 3. An ice cream connoisseur (???)

But since God did not make me a connoisseur of any of these 3 but instead made me an eating connoisseur, i will then keep getting better at eating and instead share a couple of my food addictions with you.

For my ice cream addiction, there are 3 things in my life:
Number 1: Haagen Daazs Rum Raisin
Number 2: Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia
Number 3: Rocky Road Ice cream

For chocolates, i'm a big fan of dark chocolates. And because of too much watching Willie's Wonky Chocolate Factory, i learned a few things about chocolates and one day i just decided to try out some organic dark ones that i can take especially before working out.
At a deli yesterday, i spotted these:
It was a bit difficult to decide which ones to try but they say healthy chocolates (that are a great source of antioxidants) should at least be 65% and up so i decided to get the 80% and 72%.

And then i saw this:
It was my first time to see a chocolate bar that's 95% cacao so i thought it was cool and worth trying.  So i got this too.

On my way out of the deli i immediately unwrapped the 80% chocolate bar and popped a piece in my mouth.  I can't believe i was eating an 80% bar.  It was not too bitter, it was creamy unlike other dark chocolate bars, but what i was worried about was its sugar content.  It was a bit sweet, so i don't know what this will do to my once-a-week-sugar diet.  

When i came home, out of still too much excitement, i unwrapped the 95% bar.  I was too curious, i needed a comparison between the 95% and the 80%.  And i was surprised, this 95% bar was not bitter as i expected.  It was also a bit sweet, but not bad at all.

Well, about wines, uhmm, i'm lazy to put some.  Okay have to go.
