I love chocolate, but on fires? I don’t think so… I’ve already thought about chocolate potato chips, but there are some things that justdon’t go together. Chooclate is fine by itself. Whats next? Chocolate covered spinach? ---

By and large, this line of potato products seems to have been devised under the influence of a great deal of crack. The sole exception is the delectable innovation, overlooked by the press release and everyone so far, of the donut-tot. The sour cream & chives flavor has a plain sibling without any nasty flavor tampering, but which shares a borehole along its long axis, allowing the inside of the tater tot to crisp as well as the exterior. Mmmm…crunchy! ---

AAAHHH. Yes, see I was thinking that all of that described one product. The very thought was making me quite ill. 😛 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by techchick68 \* > \*\*I had heard about the chocolate fries a while back. Pretty freaky to me. I don’t think it would be all that good. Greasy fries and chocolate. Hmmmm. I might try it if they were fresh made fries, not frozen. \*\* Ore-Ida fries aren’t greasy, though. Not if you bake them in the oven. In fact, even from a deep-frier, they’re still not greasy if you drain them well. [Here](http://www.nick.com/ads/oreida/) are photos of the new products. **caveman** , those Crunchy Rings look goooooood! I’m not sure I’ve seen them in the stores yet, though. In fact, Heinz is covering all the bases by introducing new flavors of [ketchup](http://www.heinz.com/jsp/news_f.jsp). (Scroll down to the May 17 “Flavour Craver” link.) Imagine combining the Sour Cream & Jive fries with the Roasted Garlic ketchup! Your mouth would vibrate for hours. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rilchiam \* > \*\*Imagine combining the Sour Cream & Jive fries with the Roasted Garlic ketchup! Your mouth would vibrate for hours. \*\* We did it! Mr. Rilch and I taste-tested this combination yesterday afternoon! First off, the tastes did compliment each other. As for the quality of the flavor…It wasn’t overwhelming. It was perhaps a bit subdued; if a restaurant had this as a specialty, it might be more intense, or it might be the same. At any rate, it’s something we plan to do again. It may be the one crossover, though. I can’t quite see Sweet Basil and Oregano ketchup blending well with the Cocoa Crispers, or Hot and Spicy with the Cinna-Stiks. I imagine that the Crunchy Rings are just shape-shifting Tater Tots, and the Kool Blues are regular seasoned fries; they would react with the new ketchups no differently than their alter egos would. _Signed, Her Majesty, the Fry Queen._ ---
