I have created the following interactive argument map to assert that Frosted Brown Sugar and Cinnamon pop-tarts are the best pop-tart flavor. What say you?

Potato Chip Truck Burns on the Highway
Oh the humanity! I just read this news article on a site called Fresh Plaza. The story tells of a truck hauling Lays Potato Chips which had it's brakes catch on fire and burn the whole truck load of chips. I don't know which part I laughed harder at: the quote from deputy fire chief Michael Willets who said: "It's up to Lays Potato Chips to clean up the mess left on the side of the highway as a result of the fire" or the tag line on the Fresh Plaza website:

Vending Machine Recipe #16: Amos and Andy Chocolate Chip Hot Fries
Today's recipe was inspired by the name combination more than anything. How could I possibly pass up the opportunity to combine Famous Amos cookies with Andy Capp's Hot Chili Cheese Steak Fries to get an Amos 'n' Andy recipe?
Of course that radio series and television show were way before my time, and were highly controversial for their racial stereotypes but stereotypes sell snacks (just look at Andy Capp - the stereotypical unemployed, gambling drunk).
This recipe is like a mexican mole sauce (chocoloate and chili pepper). The sweet chocoloate and spicy chili go well together, although the cheese and french fry underpinnings are somewhat out of place.
Ingredients:
1 Bag Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 Bag Andy Capp's Hot Chili Cheese Steak Fries
Serves: 2
Price: $1.80
Instructions:
Eat 2 - 3 fries per cookie. Experiment with different ratios for different flavors.

Vending Machine Snack Recipe #15: BBQ Peanuts
I went to a Texas Roadhouse chain restaurant the other day and they had peanuts for snacks while you wait for your food (which was usually something barbecued). The kids loved it because you could just throw the peanut shells on the floor when you shucked them.
That taste of BBQ and peanuts was really good. So in honor of that, today's vending machine snack recipe is BBQ Peanuts.
Ingredients:
1 Sleeve Planters Peanuts
1 Bag Miss Vickie's Smokehouse BBQ Potato Chips
Serves: 2
Price: $1.70
Instructions:
Place 2 peanuts on each potato chip. Pop the combo in your mouth and enjoy.

Vending Machine Recipe #14: Baby Ruth and The Donettes
Have you heard the latest signing sensation in the world of vending machine Do-Wop groups?
It's Baby Ruth and the Donettes.
Yes, the sugar sweet tones of the Donettes perfectly complement the nutty lyrics of Baby Ruth. It's a delightful harmony of flavor between these two snacks.
Follow the simple recipe below and enjoy a treat that's music to your mouth.
Ingredients:
1 Sleeve Hostess Donettes
1 Nestle Baby Ruth Bar
Serves: 2
Price: $1.85
Instructions:
All singing acts need a stage, so fashion a stage out of paper and pen. If you don't have a stage, then perhaps you can assemble them around a burning barrel in an alley (alleys have good acoustics). To eat, open the Baby Ruth Bar. Put a Donette hat on Baby Ruth (makes her look cool). Eat her head off. Repeat until all Donettes are gone.

TM Radio: Remedial Duck Bankrupts Snack Company
On Today's episode of traveling munchies radio we discuss drakes ring dings and duck math. The funniest part about listening this to after we recorded it was I got the math wrong too! I said the cakes had 70 calories instead of 170 calories. Oh well, count me as a remedial duck too.

Vending Machine Recipe #13: Ice Age Diorama
Today's recipe makes a great edible centerpiece. Heck, it can even be a science fair project.
When I saw this gigantic Entemann's Iced Honey Bun in the vending machine I knew that only a true glutton would try to make a recipe out of that 5 oz. / 560 calorie food bomb. Hence, being a true glutton I totally went for it.
As you may have read in previous posts, Animal Crackers are my favorite item in the machine and make for excellent entertainment on a slow day at work low budget.
What's great about the Austin Zoo Animal Crackers, is that they have a penguin as one of their shapes -- perfect for the ice age diorama. In my scene, I have a giant penguin mediating some sort of truce between two woolly mammoths and a polar bear.
Ingredients:
1 Bag Austin Zoo Animal Crackers
1 Entemann's Iced Honey Bun
Serves: 3
Price: $2.25
Instructions:
Take the Iced Honey Bun out of its package and place on the table. Select appropriate animals from the Animal Cracker bags. (If you want Camels in the ice age that's your business). Press animals into the honey bun to form your ice age scene.
TM Radio: Oriental Chicken and Rice Soup
On today's episode of Traveling Munchies Radio we discuss the importing of foodstuff from around the world. Why would I import chickens from the orient just to make soup? It seems rather inefficient.

Vending Machine Recipe #12: Hot Tamales
Hola amigos. Today's recipe has a Mexican flair. This is due to a new arrival in the office vending machine, Miss Vickie's Hand-Picked Jalapeno potato chips. Miss Vickie's is a Canadian outfit now owned by Frito-Lay so I would say that this recipe is Muy bien, eh?
This is a simple tamale recipe that combines the corn flavor of the Fritos with the chili flavor of the potato chips.
This recipe would be perfect for your Cinco de Mayo celebration at the office.
Ingredients:
1 Bag Miss Vickie's Hand-Picked Jalapeno potato chips
1 Bag Fritos Original Corn Chips
Serves: 2
Price: $1.80
Instructions:
Combine the Fritos and the potato chips into individual servings at a ratio of 3 corn chips to 1 potato chip. Pop the whole serving into your mouth at the same time. Enjoy.

Traveling Munchie #13 - Herr's Chocolate Covered Potato Chips
Today's traveling munchie comes from my sons Forrest and Craig, who were lucky enough to go on a tour of the Herr's Potato Chip factory in Nottingham, Pennsylvania with the Boy Scouts.Thinking of Dear Old Dad, they managed to pitch in and buy me this container of Chocolate Covered Potato Chips with the money they didn't blow on game room games, snacks for themselves, and other souvenirs.
These chips, by the way, taste fantastic! I love the salty - sweet combination and the crunchy - smooth combination that the chocolate and the potato chip provide as contrast to one another.
The most amazing thing is they survived the 6 hour bus ride home!
