The other day at the grocery store, Sissy would not relent on wanting the "square crackers with one hole". I thought about throwing Cheese nips in the cart, figuring she wouldn't know the difference, but I was in a hurry and didn't see any Nips nearby, so I grabbed the Cheez-its box.
I haven't had Cheese-nips in forever. They were one of the few snacky type things in the vending machine on the 3rd floor of Smith Hall that I enjoyed.
I worked paste-up for the Parthenon (Marshall University's school newspaper) and we worked from 4 pm to whenever the paper was finished. Back then, we did everything by hand, laying the articles column by column and if it was a larger issue, we'd be there late.
If I needed a boost, I'd go to the vending machine and get Cheese nips and a Mountain Dew.
Now, I try to not have many snacks in the house that I like. Too tempting... but I might just have to pick up a small pack of Cheese-nips next time I go shopping.
Or, I could try to convert my family to my way of thinking and force them to eat and love the nips, too.
What do you think?
I have had a HELL of a week, so today is all about doing as little as possible. No stress, nowhere to be (except to pick up Buddy from school). It's chilly and dreary outside, so a perfect day for lounging! :-)
Sorry, I vote with your family. Cheeze-its.
ReplyDeleteMy choice in college was Cheeze-its and a Mountain Dew. Breakfast of champions.
My son hates the cheese cracker though, so we just go without. It's better that way!
That's exactly like the comparison between Yodels and Ho-Ho's. Yodels Rock! Ho-Ho's not!
ReplyDeleteThat will always be a mystery to me....
I didn't even know there were two different products. I thought the names were interchangable. I guess I fail at snack foods 101.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, I love the nips...I'm so on your side.
ReplyDeleteOf course, if you get the nips and the family doesn't like them you'll be FORCED to consume them all yourself. Win-win I say!
ReplyDeleteIn the cheesy crackery snack area, I like the goldfish crackers. Delish and fun. That is what was in my house as a kid.
ReplyDeleteCheez-its, all the way!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you could convince the Evil Twin to nibble on you Nips!
ReplyDeleteUnh-uh, gotta be the CheezTits with a coke, not Dew for us.
ReplyDeleteHow do they get all that big cheeze taste into a Cheeze-it ?? I dunno but they sure are yummy!
ReplyDeleteI say get yourself some Cheese-nips and the family some Cheese-its.
ReplyDeleteI love the white cheddar Cheese-its. Then I bought some flavor-blasted Goldfish and I was spoiled immediately. Maybe everyone would like those. They're really, really good.
I don't keep much snack food in the house either for the same reason.
ReplyDeleteBuzzardBilly just mentioned the white cheddar cheese-its though - those are the shiz-nit!
I don't like Cheese-its either. For some reason they remind me of cat food.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love you, and you know I do, add another vote for the it's. I bought a box on Monday. I forgot they were there. Guess what I am going to have for dinner now? When i cannot button any of my jeans tomorrow it will be all your fault...
ReplyDeleteThey both have good qualities. The sales dictate which we buy, so most often we get Cheese Nips (low fat).
ReplyDeleteKeep the Cheez-its box.
ReplyDeleteBuy Cheese Nips.
Poor the Cheese Nips into the empty Cheez-its box.
They'll never know. ;-)
Cheez-its....they are the best. Too addictive to have in my house....for the kids, too. They also ask for the 'orange crackers'!
ReplyDeleteI love the nips. Adding cheese doesn't do much for me, but I'll put up with it if necessary.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, Cheeze-Its has been my breakfast many a morning in my office. Breakfast of champions.
Yeah, Boo is Cheese ITS girl...she doesn't like the Nips for whatever reason...hmmmm.....
ReplyDeleteMy kids will eat either one and eat and eat and eat...one of Molly's first words was "cracker". Seriously. So sad...
ReplyDeleteBut they eat broccoli, so I am redeemed.
Hi there... Don't know if you saw it yesterday, late afternoon, but there was a beautiful double-rainbow over the Crosslanes Wal-Mart. They were the brightest, most distinct rainbows I've ever seen. If I can find a free file hosting site, I'll post my cell phone pics, and give you a download link.
ReplyDeleteTake care,

Cheez-its. Preferably Pepper Jack or White Cheddar.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the greasiness though, which is probably what makes them so cracktacular.
Dammit, now I want some goldfish.
ReplyDeleteI recently discovered gripz. They are my new all-time favorite! You gotta try them...the cheese ones of course..there are all sorts of cookie flavors and crap like that too...
