The pure joy of biting into a potato chip and licking your fingers of powdered seasoning is apparently too much for a new snack food that seems to be trolling all of us.

It’s a rather brilliant idea, selling something nobody historically ever preferred, and stuffing them into designer packaging with a name straight out of modern hashtag lingo. They’re perfect for eating quickly, and nobody can deny their sandwich soulmate. Are potato chip “sprinkles” the new condiment?

There’s actually a question on the FailChips website that asks how they’re made. Really?

Oddly enough, “how do you eat them?” is a less strange question, as the bag is made to be torn at the corner and emptied into a mouth space. It’s specially designed for “one-handed chip chugging.”
Now, if they could only figure out a way for people to see Jesus in their crushed chips.
