For salt, either salt and vinegar chips, or ketchup chips (are those only sold in Canada?) Old Dutch brand are the best, and I believe that is only available,in Canada. For my American salt fix, a bag of Munchies, being that sublime collection of pretzels, Cheetos, Doritos. You have to eat a handful with everything in it. But Cheetos by themselves are awesome.

I’m sure I’m not the only person here who is keen to discover new trends in the art of cuisine. However, I can’t help but wonder if consuming large amounts of these so called “Snickers bars” (Clever name, by the way) might not have adverse effects on one’s health. I note that they seem caloricly dense, but contain little nutritional value. However I suppose consuming a few bars would not be overly injurious. ---
