Little bags of chips were very common back in Montreal but no one gives them away around here.

No. Candy only . Pennies, fruit, chips, top ramen all = eggs at your house. -- nm - Krusty Nov 3, 12:41 16
- really? chips? chips are great! -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 12:47 5
  - Well, so are municipal bonds, but... -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 13:11
  - Sure, I love me some chips and pretzels. But it's Halloween and as a kid I had an expectation of something sweet. - Krusty Nov 3, 12:51 1
    - see, for me chips were just as much of a treat as chocolate. and i never really thought of it as having to be 'sweet'. interesting. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 12:58
  - I would have loved chips, especially unusual flavors. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:50
  - I remember being all excited when I got chips as a kid... Which is weird since we always had some at home - Guigue Nov 3, 12:50
- I'd give the Top Ramen people a pass. Not that it's a good treat, but that's pretty impressive if you went and bought that much Ramen. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 12:42 9
  - Did you miss the story earlier? - Krusty Nov 3, 12:45 8
    - hahaha, ramen is cheaper than eggs -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 3, 12:49 6
      - I think I would have seen ramen as a novelty. I never saw the stuff until college. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:51 5
        
        We used to have Ramen food drives in college for the food bank (often coinciding with 8/$1 sales at Kroger). Filled up the back of a pickup truck - ty97 Nov 3, 12:57 2
        
        I've remember food drives where they would explicitly say NO RAMEN -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 13:06 1
        
        College town, they took what they could get -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 13:09
        
        kids do love ramen (of course, they are basically chicken flavored chips, deep friend in hydrogenated palm oil) -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 3, 12:56 1
        
        I think I would have LOVED Japanese snacks too. so weird and interesting. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:58
    - I totally missed that. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 12:46
My parents usually get the mini bags of pretzels. Whenever I'm at their house and I see them, I'm all "do you *want* the house to get egged?" -- nm - Tim Nov 3, 12:41
I still remember getting a box of raisins as a kid. Ugh. *hate* -- nm - Strongbad Nov 3, 12:39 1
- One family gave out four pennies -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 12:41
Nope. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 3, 12:39
