    As much as I will always have a purple shaped hole in my heart for the sweet chili flavor, I’m totally cool not ever eating them again. Every big company can suck my shriveled excuse for a phallice. I have seen that they will destroy anything and everything around them for a few extra hundredths of a percentage point in share prices.

    Side note, homemade tortilla chips with a little sprinkle of a ranch seasoning packet+cayenne>>>Doritos cool ranch.

      I’m never buying Lays chips again, I haven’t for over a year now. Never going back, they never needed to raise their price that much, greedy greedy greedy. They took the corpo idea of ‘never leaving money on the table’ and thought they could gouge us. They thought of us as stupid ‘cattle’ that would cower to their decades old brand. Fuck brand loyalty. Same thing for McDonalds, I haven’t been back there in over 4 years and I’m NEVER going back. NEVER.

        Yup. Once the routine is broken it’s broken. Living life without some stuff is actually easy and they have lost a customer for life.

        I’ve boycotted a few brands in the last 3/4 years, and I expected to miss them more. But in honestly I feel proud at my resolve and now I just think urghhh I don’t need that crap. If I feel an urge I’ll get a no brand. Used to visit maccas fortnightly. Lucky is it’s once a year. I’ve been buying Mexican or European cola…if I have to have it.

        Right there with you on McDonald’s! I used to get a hot and spicy McChicken at least once every other week as a snack while running around. But after the staged bs with trump (not) serving all of 5 very obvious plants, they will not see another red cent from me!

      I like this idea, and I could think of a lot of interesting spice combos to use. I’m already partial to garlic and rosemary on fries in the air fryer, that would be great on tortilla chips.

      Do you fry them, bake them, what? Will they work in the air fryer?

        Basic pot with corn oil. The tortillas themselves are incredibly cheap when you buy the packages, I cut them into sixths instead of quarters to feel fancy.

            Dunno who downvotes an honest question, but I got you back on the better side of zero.

            Suffice to say most people will call me dirty, but I leave it as is most times. If I’m desperate and/or lazy and didn’t want to go to the store for more and it’s starting to taste funky, I ghetto clarify it with a 1:3 mix of cornstarch and milk respectively.

            Start with one drop off water from your finger in the cold oil and when you hear it start to bubble, kill the heat and add one more drop off water. When you hear it popping once every half second or so add a small amount of the milk cornstarch mix and stir vigorously. Strain through first a course sift then a fine one. The proteins in the milk and cornstarch will bind with all the nastiness and make the particles big enough to be caught by the filters and give you almost brand new oil assuming you don’t deep fry at 400+degrees.
