KANSAS CITY

  • Vinnie and Andy flew American... again
    • Recorded at the airport 
  • Kansas City airport is not the best
  • Vinnie had some amazing steaks on this trip
    • Shed a tear for vegans

PRINGLES

  • A single Pringle on the ground next to Andy
    • A flavored one, most likely
  • Pringles came around when Vinnie and Andy were kids
    • The tubes were trendy and the stacks economic
  • Processed the crap out of them to make them all uniform
    • STUFFED with chemicals
    • Comes out as a liquid type paste
  • They don't even taste good, in reality, but they are addictive
    • Vinnie and Andy both remember trying one and being like... "this isn't even that good", but once you eat a few, you can't stop
    • They also build up in your mouth
    • Give you a stomach ache, eventually
    • Vinnie had them a few times then swore off of them
  • Real potato chips, although still not good for you, taste like actual potatoes
