Don't forget MSG! It gets a bad image, but is Delicious and poison.

It especially put it on chips that have no flavor - or when the chips are only lightly salted.

Works wonders!

ugh... terrible typo that happens all the time when i'm typing, my fingers constantly skip "not" when I say it in my head.

How is it poison? I've read that your body metabolizes msg better than salt, and msg is more potent meaning you can use less salt if you add a tiny bit of msg.
