<i><b>Potato chip bag held a surprise</b>

DES MOINES (AP) - A woman found more than chips inside a bag of potato chips she bought at a convenience store.

Lois Campbell, 42, of Des Moines said when she opened a small bag of Uncle Ray's garlic-flavored chips Saturday, she found another bag inside containing what she and police thought was marijuana.

"We were eating a few of the chips, and I was about to give some to a 3-year-old child," Campbell said. "I thought it was a little bag of seasoning inside. When I saw what it was, I called the police."

A police report says the contents of the heat-sealed bag smelled like marijuana.

The chips and the leafy substance were seized as evidence.

Mandi Lockridge, manager of the Git-N-Go store where the chips were bought, said the other Uncle Ray's chips have been taken off the store's shelves.

The chips were packaged in Detroit, Lockridge said.</i>

This could go over big as a handy multi-pack. Get high and take care of the "munchies" at the same time.

I never liked Uncle Ray's. In fact, I dislike most businesses and brand names that try to push some form of morality on their cutomers.

Also, their chips are thin and have little flavor. I much prefer Tim's Cascade Style- thick, super crunchy, far superior taste and texture.

The_Dude · 07-02-2003, 12:18 PM

that's hilarious.........wonder how it got there

Charlatan · 07-02-2003, 12:21 PM

The multi-pack idea is perfect!

Best. Day. Ever.

*Nikki* · 07-02-2003, 04:51 PM

That is to funny how it was "seized for edvidence".

More like mr.cop and his buddies all got their smoke on.

Realizm · 07-02-2003, 05:21 PM

I personally like the "3 year old child" part.

enjoyduff · 07-02-2003, 05:24 PM

*Nikki* · 07-02-2003, 05:51 PM

rogue49 · 07-03-2003, 08:41 AM

and you still have chips left over for the munchies.

krwlz · 07-03-2003, 11:26 AM

Thats is simply great...I feel bad for the guy who left it in there! The real question is...Why did she turn it in?

Hydralisk · 07-03-2003, 12:41 PM

too bad it wasn't one of those large bags

lt1s10 · 07-03-2003, 12:52 PM

Imagine the guy who lost it. He's all set at work once he's done he's gonna get his smoke on. It's his goal for the whole day. And at the end of the shift he can't find it. Worst day at work ever.

sbscout · 07-04-2003, 05:33 AM

too funny!

and the bag had to be bought from someone who wouldn't use it!

rat · 07-04-2003, 07:27 PM

efficiency and marketability. uncle ray's marketing lead should be able to find quite a few job offers if this turns out to be the fault of uncle ray's.

I don't believe you. The story says nothing about a school at all and there's no way a teacher would ever give a 3-year old lessons about drug awareness.

So, yeah. Nice try.

I would expect her to keep it and never speak of it again but if she did mention it, I would probably ask her what she was doing with my child on a Saturday at the Git-N-Go store.
