Speaking of complaining about the spicyness of BBQ potatoe chips...  I 
have a funny story.  On this past Saturday night, a friend of mine and 
his twin 5 year old daughters went to Blockbuster to rent a movie and 
get a few snacks.  My friend was going to take one of his daughters in 
to look for a movie and I was going to venture into the 7-11 next door 
and buy the snacks with his other daughter.  His daughter and I were in 
7-11 browsing for snacks and we came across the chips and dips aisle.  I 
figured that being a 5 year old, she would pick out the most colorful 
bag but, she suprised me and wanted to get the potatoe chips with "HOT" 
label on the bag.  We brought them up to the counter and the woman whom 
was going to ring up our items leaned over to the child and said, "These 
potatoe chips are a little spicy for you, aren't they?"  I reassured her 
that they were basically for me and that she wasn't going to indulge in 
the spicy chips.  Then she went on to say how hot they were and that she 
could only have a few at a time because they were "....sooooo spicy!"  A 
few minutes later my friend and his two children and I were home 
watching the movie and the bag of "spicy chips" were open.  Both of the 
little girls took one and put it in their mouths.  I was expecting for 
them to scrunch up their noses or spit it out but, what they did was 
swallow and finish off the bag!!!!  Now, if a 5 year old can withstand 
the "spicyness" of a BBQ potatoe chip, that is not saying much for the 
others that cannot.  Thought I would share this little epithay with all 
of you since we were on the subject of "spicy wimpiness".
