Q: What did Thomas Hudson say to the 'snack attendant'?
A: Hi, I'm a Barrel O' Fun, are you Frito Lay?

I am a little slow this morning - does this translate to "1 dime short of a dollar?"

Depends on the Sun Chips flavor. Fritos are higher than original (170g vs. 120g), about the same as Garden Salsa, and lower than Cheddar (210g). In any case, a Bloody Mary blows them all out of the water for sodium content.

You think Sun Chips are materially different? They're only slightly better, but have done a great job convincing people they are a "healthy" snack.

1 oz Fritos = 160 calories, 10g fat, 1.5g saturated fat, 170mg sodium
1 oz Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips = 140 calories, 6g fat, 1g saturated fat, 210mg sodium
