I don't really have enough for a full blow CandyBlog Deux, and really, this stuff isn't candy. It is, however, the best idea ever.

Dear readers (apparently there are a ton of you now) I give you baked potato flavored potato chips.Just think about that for a moment.
What they've done here is amazing.
They've taken a potato and said, "Hey, I feel like having some baked potato. Why don't we cut this up, fry it, and pile a bunch of artificial flavorings to make it taste like a baked potato? Also let's put some Hokkaido butter on it. I love that stuff."
Note to Japan: Next I would like to see some sausages that taste like bacon, cold noodles that taste like ramen, and fried chicken that has the texture and taste of boiled meat.

For some reason, the Japanese are all up ons Hokkaido butter. Apparently it's the best butter in the country, but I'm pretty sure it's the only butter in the country. I think Hokkaido is probably the only main island that has conditions that allow people to raise cattle (I think it's about the same latitude and climate as New York state), so the whole thing just sort of seems kinda dumb to me. Kinda like seeing a bunch of grass and being all, "Oh man was this grass grown in soil? Oh dang that must be some pretty superior grass you got there. Much better than non-soil grass."

Also, they do a bunch of weird flavors for anything over here. It's kinda like how England has some pretty unusual but delicious flavors, only uh, weirder. So far I've only really had these baked potato flavored chips and some bologna flavored ones, but I've seen some dumpling flavored ones around that I've been meaning to try. I'll keep you posted.

Ain't nothing much happened here for a bit, but I'm supposed to be heading off to a volcano and a castle this weekend, so we'll see how that goes.
