National Corn Chip Day Hooray!

National Corn Chip Day is a day for celebrating our corn chip friends.  

The Corn chip is a favorite from Moonwater Meadow all the way to your house.   Some people love corn chips with spicy salsa or in nachos.  Some like them dripping with cheese while others like them plain straight from the bag.  There’s no right way to enjoy them but there is one significant wrong way!

Corn chip: dos.

• Do slather them with your favorite condiments but not too much.  Mine are refried beans, olives and gummy bears.

• Do make sure you eat them when they’re fresh and crunchy.  No one likes a soggy, stale chip. 

• Do eat them often.  Studies show corn chips make you smarter.  I just made that up.

Corn Chip dont’s.

• Do not use them as cushioned insoles for your shoes because they make a lot of noise. 

• Do not brush your teeth with them.  They don’t hold toothpaste despite the minty flavor.

• DO NOT EAT THE WHOLE CHIPS!

The thing about corn chips.

The solid ones are sentient.  You heard me.  They can hear you and they have feelings, too.  They don’t like being slathered with cheese and eaten.  However, they do enjoy chess and cinema, though.  They also like adventures and bedtime stories.  I have lots of chip friends, and trust me, they stay far away from the salsa section at the super market. 

Best practices.

You know the crumbled chips at the bottom of the bag?  The rule is: If it’s whole, the answer is no.  If’ it’s chipped, it’s good to dip.   You can eat those, the broken ones.  They aren’t sentient and we tested just to be sure. 

National Corn Chip Day in Moonwater Meadow is a big party and all our chip friends come over.  No salsa or refried beans on hand.  That gets them angry and you don’t want an angry band of corn chips on your hands.   I told you about marshmallow pirates.  One day I’ll tell you about corn chip banditos.

There you have it, a perfect way to enjoy this special day.  Eat the broken ones with whatever dip you like (try the gummy bears!).  Invite the whole ones to dance to mariachi music until your neighbors complain.  Just don’t eat my friends!
