Sterzings Potato Chips

PrintPretty good, aren't they? I mean, let's not let the fact that I've started drinking heavily influence this FanPost (because, for one, I see the upcoming ISU/booze jokes coming and I don't really give a shit, and two, my spelling is pretty good right now in comparison to previous times when I drink and.....type shit up.)
But yeah, I'm drinking Coors Light. And I just cracked open a bag of Sterzings. HawkeyeState essentially told me I was a disgrace to the state for not enjoying them with the accompanying dip, but where I buy MY chips (at home in Eastern Iowa), they do not sell the dip. In Ames, I can't even find any of the Economy Paks.
We also discussed the fact that I also do hate Iowa less than I used to. I enjoy your basketball coach, mainly due to the fact that I do not hate him. Don't diminish this. Not hating someone is a crucial step towards enjoying them. And, upon hearing this statement from me, Jamie Pollard was inconsolable.
A happy Martin Luther King Day to you all.

On one hand, that is an incomprehensible mess
On the other, I’m in no position to judge drunken rambles, and Sterzings Potato Chips ARE delicious. However, despite our shared interest in chips and alcohol, I’m afraid that I still hate the Cyclones.
I love ISU fans
That are able to poke fun at their own mediocrity. He was inconsolable.

what the hell are sterzings
we dont have those in the lone star state
We've got a problem... Well i'll go brew some java, thats a start
Not in the Land O' Lincoln either.
Did they exist in Iowa pre-2003? Because I’ve never heard of them. I think you’re making all of this up.

Regional Deliciousness
My dad, who knows his way around a bag of potato chips, once told me you can’t get Sterzings east of the Mississippi. Apparently you can’t get them west of the Missouri River either.
I think you pretty much have to be within a 150 mile radius of Oskaloosa

According to their website
“Sterzing’s are the most popular potato chips in Southeast Iowa.”
They are quite delicious.
¿Quieres chiclets?

How long have the "trans-fat free" kind been around?
I’ve never even seen them.

Wow. Gift Box?
Granted I live in Omaha and have not experienced the greatness that is Sterzing’s…but…“Gift Box”. If I got $22 worth of chips and dip as a gift, I would punch whoever gave it to me.
Gotta love marketing.
Go Hawks!
That is not the proper reaction to receiving a gift of Sterzing's
I would suggest promising them your firstborn child instead.
Being from the great city of Burlington, where Sterzing’s are born daily, I agree with the deliciousness of those fine chips. Last I checked they are at most Hy-Vee’s. Eat up.
I'm from NE Iowa
and whenever we’d travel to SE Iowa when I was younger, we’d get a bag or 4. Delicious greasiness.
Sterzings are fantastic
My arteries are hardening just thinking about them.
Best. Chips. Ever.
The trans-fat free ones are a war crime, but Ye Olde Sterzings? Life doesn’t get much better. If I had only a day to live — or had only 60 years left to live, either way — I’d sit and eat Sterzings until I threw up, then I’d eat more (ala the gluttony guy in Se7en).
I’m confident this is the best contribution we’ve ever had from a Clone poster. Thank you for your contribution.
What I don't understand...
…is why you’d combine what, apparently, are some of the world’s most flavorful chips (I wouldn’t know, I never saw them in Western IA), with one the world’s least flavorful beers. Coors Light? I mean, it’s not Natty, but my god. Drink something that at least kinda tastes like, well, beer.
This is true.
When the word “beer” directly follows the word “free” in a sentence, it’s rarely a bad thing.

Light one on Fire - I Dare You
Enough grease in one chip to heat a house.
Warning – this is not like blowing out a candle, experiment over the sink or better yet outside.

Is it bad I'm thinking of having some shipped to me?
I’ve never tried them. I do like chips, though.
Viva la nuance! Reading comprehension rules!!!
