I rather liked them.  The Target brand potato chips (see writeup from
Michael when he gets around to it) were disappointing on the whole. You'd
have hated the salt and vinegar ones. I like salt and vinegar chips and
didn't like them too much myself - the vinegar flavor was fake city.

OTOH, the first thing I did this morning was open your box.  I found all
the funky chopsticks and the octopus candy first thing off.  I promptly
tore into the Octopus - yum!  It really was made from Octopus.  The first
thing I smelled when opening the package was vinegar - LOTS of vinegar.  
Biting into it, I tasted fish, sweetness, and the vinegar.  The "candy" was
made from finely shredded compressed octopus (one presumes).  There was
also a little pepper aftertaste.  I'd eat it again in a minute.

I'd imagine not.  Even if he was a three-timer, he should have been paying
child support.  You can't get money from a dead man.
