I have a strange way of eating potato chips, pretzels, tortilla chips, any of that stuff. I go through a bag by eating the broken ones first, saving the whole ones for last. I do it in a somewhat obsessive way, often eating way more than I wanted to because I'm still on my mission to eat out all the broken ones. I didn't even realize I was doing this until I had to explain myself to Lon, who was watching me rummage through a bag of chips, as if I was digging for treasure. Any psych people out there? Do I have a problem?
I recently found out that my friend Sarah does the same thing and our other friend Monica, does the opposite, eating whole pieces first. What does this all mean?

I must be bi-polar then, haha! It depends on my mood, but I definitely eat methodically as well - either I attack the whole pieces first or I attack the broken ones first. Another thing is if we're eating family style, I will pick the broken piece for myself and leave the nicer piece for my friends/family. |

I do a similar thing with potatoe chips I actually have to find just the right sized chip be it broke or whole to be dipped in ranch dip. And I won't eat chips without dip. |

Hmmm. I don;t go finatic over my chips, but I do eat one item on my plate until it's gone before moving on to the text. Maybe we're not all that odd afterall? |

I go straight for the whole ones, then finish off with the cracked ones. |

Hey Jess, I also like saving the best for last! And I just mentioned that to Monica and asked her if she did the same, and she said that if she was eating a bag by herself she would eat the less desirable first, but if she was sharing with someone else, she'd eat the most desirable first. |

if you're going to ask questions like this, you should integrate a polling feature into the blog to allow meaningful data analysis. Oh, went to Sushi Yasuda last night. Very good but not transcendental. Got exotic and tried the shirako, I have to say, kinda weird. |

Hmm, my evaluation is that Monica is an only child, haha |

I don't have a particular order I eat chips, but when it comes to Twix bars you bet I do. First, I like to slowly eat off all the caramel on top. Then I work my way around the cookie and eat off the chocolate and then once the chocolate is cleaned off I eat the shortbread part.I know, weird right? Not sure where I got the habit, but that's just my twix eating routine and I don't think I could eat it any other way. |
