Are chips considered a dessert?

[Die Hard]

You are on the way home...... and you call your wife.... and she tells you that her sister is over.... so would you bring home a dessert.

Would 2 big bags of potato chips qualify?

[SC_RedskinsFan]

No chips do not qualify, unless they are chocolate. They are a snack, or a side item.

[rincewind]

What SC said. Sorry die hard.

[PokerPacker]

chips are not desert. SC pretty much said what I have to say about it.

[HOF44]

Hate to get into message board jargon, but You Fail x 2! lol

But you meant well, you should get some credit.

[SC_RedskinsFan]

So your wife was pissed huh? :silly:

[rincewind]

By the way - I also vote for you being an idiot mutually exclusive to the whole chip debacle. :cheers:

[Midnight Judges]

Sorry dude.

BTW, Edy's double fudge sunday is money

[SUSkinsFan]

that depends....how big is your doghouse?

[brandymac27]

Ummm, No. Chips are not dessert. You need something sweet or fruit to be considered dessert IMO.

[HOF44]

Any chance there's a pic when you showed her the dessert?? The look on her face was probably priceless.

Having done things similarly stupid myself, did you get the this is a joke right look?? lol

If she will, let her post her reaction on here. That would be classic.

[PeterMP]

Just to pile on, no chips aren't a dessert.

[HOF44]

Ok, I see PB has checked in, there is a vote for chips as a dessert. ;)

[Dan T.]

Were they Ruffles?

[Stophovr6]

Chocolate chips maybe. Potato chips, absolutely not. Idiot. :P

[Major Harris]

not even close.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Hey, I don't know if you've heard, but chips aren't a dessert.

[Major Harris]

in related news, ribeye steak is not considered hors d'oeuvres.

[No_Pressure]

Chips only serve to supplement a main course or work as a snack between meals. It is not a dessert.

[Die Hard]

Well.... so much for winning this poll... and having her start a poll amongst her peers for balance.

You guys suck :)

At least there are 2 other schmucks that live in my "universe". No, I didn't get any that night.

The truth is..... I was coming home from a friend's house with the 2 bags of chips already in the car.... I just didn't want to stop somewhere and get something. I thought the chips might pass.... and I come out looking like the hero.

Lazy bastage I am. Ah well.... thanks for nothing.

So what did you end up getting in the end?

I loved this thread.

you're a mod, can't you edit the poll results?

edit: wait a sec, no you aren't. Miss those perks at all?

[twa]

Depends on the dip imo....w/o dip they are a side dish;)

[HogNose]

No...unless the chips are a new Rocky Road flavor, then it is not dessert.

If I was Die Hard I would blast you for creating this thread. :silly::nana:

[Die Hard]

Ummm, No. Chips are not dessert. You need something sweet or fruit to be considered dessert IMO.

My wife agreed that fruit may have qualified. So I asked her if I brought home 2 pears would she have been happy. Made her think.... then of course admitted it wouldn't have worked.

She did say ICE CREAM would have qualified.... or Joe Louis cakes.... and to me.... those are "snacks" equal to chips (at least the Joe Louis cakes).

Live and learn.

[Die Hard]

So dessert is officially "ice cream" or "chocolate? Is that the final answer? Who the hell decided that? :)

[Die Hard]

Nope. I don't find them to be perks.... I find them to be a burden.

Now that I think about it Poptarts might have worked. It's a pastry, and it has fruit. ;) Die Hard try poptarts next time and see what she does. :silly:

[motorhead]

What about chocolate chips? :silly:

[Die Hard]

Now that I think about it Poptarts might have worked. It's a pastry, and it has fruit. ;) Die Hard try poptarts next time and see what she does. :silly:

That may qualify as well.... and it'll be available in a convenience store.

Truth be told.... we already had a few bags of chips in the house - which we don't usually have - and she had been snacking on them all week. So I just think she was kinda "chipped-out" and wanted something else. Now, I did bring home 2 different kinds of flavors :)

But typically women... never really clear on their intentions... they just expect us to read their minds instead of just telling us what their needs are! :)

Hey... if you want chocolate... ask for chocolate. Dessert is an open-ended suggestion. And ice cream doesn't qualify when you're trip home is 30-minutes... it would have melted in the car :)

[twa]

Perhaps Fig Newtons next time?...after all it's fruit and cake;)

[MLSKINS]

Do they sell 7up cakes in Canada?

[Tastes Like Chicken]

Chips are definitely not dessert.


Unless,

well, not in any case really.

[RedskinzOwnU]

Chips are bad for you, like dessert, but they are not even remotely close to the category of dessert.

[Major Harris]

Dessert is an open-ended suggestion.

yes, it is. there are a lot of options when it comes to dessert. it's not just chocolate or ice cream. there's cake, there's pudding, there's pie, there's cream horns :drool:.....

it is very open ended. how you thought chips qualified, and still seem to be trying to justify it, is beyond me. lol

[Corcaigh]

Potatoes are not dessert.

Apparently only one idiot on teh internets would even ask the question ... as this thread is already top of the google search results.

[Die Hard]

So does chocolate bars qualify? How about candy... like penny candy or licorice (which is also "sweet")?

[SC_RedskinsFan]

So dessert is officially "ice cream" or "chocolate? Is that the final answer? Who the hell decided that? :)

Pie's, cakes, ice cream, cookies, anything like that would have had you in. But nooo you went with chips. :silly:

[Major Harris]

you're getting warmer....

[HOF44]

Damn now you're making me think. To me those would qualify. However I have been married long enough to know if showed up at home with company there, with any of those, I would be wifepown3d!

[Monte51Coleman]

So what did you end up getting in the end?

Apparently the cold shoulder.

[SkinsBry]

Yes, if you served them with a grape jelly dip. ;)

[Blondie]

I think of desserts as being something sweet.

Chips fail the sweetness test.

[SC_RedskinsFan]

Apparently the cold shoulder.


I think his wife had the song "no sugar tonight" playing. :silly:

[PokerPacker]

I would say fig-newtons count. then again, they've always kinda been like the forbidden fruit around my house. Trust me, you don't want to eat those things around my dad.

[Die Hard]

Chips fail the sweetness test.

Cookies?

[zoony]

I suppose if you dipped them in chocolate it would qualify.

[Blondie]

Cookies?

Cookies can be dessert.

[PokerPacker]

Cookies?

better be good cookies.

[Die Hard]

Cookies can be dessert.

Wow.... so basically everything but chips!?! :)

[Baculus]

Chips seemed like a really bad idea!

[Major Harris]

Wow.... so basically everything but chips!?! :)

no. for instance, green beans: not dessert.

[twenty-eight]

No sir!


.....

[DCsportsfan53]

That may qualify as well.... and it'll be available in a convenience store.

LMAO, I wish you were kidding. I know women and the expect you to read their mind thing but man, this one shoulda been obvious. It had nothing to do with being "chipped out". Ice cream, cake, pie....those are desserts. Almost universally a dessert is going to be something that has the exclusive value of satisfying a sweet tooth without any other attributes worth speaking of. I mean, bringing her chips for dessert, to me, is about the equivalent of having stopped at McDonalds and picking her up an order of fries. They have McFlurries for a reason. :silly:

Wow Die Hard. THAT is quite a jump........from cookies to "basically everything but chips".

I can't type long enough to name all the foods that are not considered desserts.

But, I think you know this.

You just need some dialogue today I suppose.

[Major Harris]

I know women and the expect you to read their mind thing

they do expect that, but they do expect common sense, too.

If you want ice cream, cake or pie... then you ask for it. A dessert is an open-ended request for junk food for snacking on because they're plunked in front of the TV and want something to stuff their faces.

How do I know this? Because they do it every weekend. And you know what's included in their "binges"? Chips. At least 2 bags.... different kinds every week.

If you want cake... ask for cake. But you can't say "surprise me" and then get pissed when you don't get what you want.

[Die Hard]

Come on. I'm talking about everything in this thread. How's that for "common sense"?

Basically, everybody has said EVERYTHING in this thread has qualified as a "dessert"... with the exception of chips.

Pie, ice cream, cake, fruits, cookies, pastries, chocolate bars, candies, etc... and with the exception of fruit... all can be found at most gas station convenience stores. Including chips.

And EVERYTHING in that store seems to qualify except the one item. That's strange.

[Die Hard]

I told you.... McFlurries weren't an option because I was 30 minutes away from home. It would have melted :)

The ONLY place along the way home -- I live in country and take back roads -- was a Wendy's. And all they have for "dessert" is that chocolate ice cream crap. Not an option.

Everything else was outta the way.... and I already had 2 bags of chips in the car :) So screw it.... I thought it was good enough :)

Since you have common sense in " ", I suppose that means something.

Just not sure what.

.

one of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong.../sesame street

please note all items are SWEET, except CHIPS.

google the definition of dessert dude. i'd bet dollars to doughnuts (another dessert) that it includes the word SWEET. not salty snacks. this isn't rocket science.

[Brandon W]

maybe banana chips? or those stupid gourmet chocolate dipped chips but probably not. it was a nice try though. I'm on your side. you tried......ish

[SkinnedAussie]

Mate, even down here, chips are not dessert.

See, it's not just a US thing.
