I, V, M. Chuck joke which I have sort of decided for a change. It's morally very satisfying to see. Of course, we are, we are in C, now we are in C, so it's good.
So, yeah. We are in C, so it's not an intellectual play. So I was thinking of the British royal family, what do you tell them, puns? It will be Windsor Castle, Windsor Castle, Windsor Castle.
There is something to do here, a lot of problems. Because there is something like that. So anyway, this is not really, there's not an indication of this intellectual level that this thing, we can go much more than this. So Chuck, I want to tell you, a few episodes ago, we spoke about potatoes, and how they can be poisonous.
Like, grim thing about potatoes, basically can kill you. And we weren't even talking about the carbohydrate conflict. Yeah, there is one shankar sandwich, you are like, what do I do? There's a 30 days to sit, you have shankar sandwiches for 30 days, you'll get a heart attack and time.
So, like, it's a sport market, so generally people are sick of life and all go to shankar. So what is it that you wanted to talk about? So, you know, I heard this, a terrific article by, an article, a news video, by NBC on a potato, a brand of potato chips called the whole shabang. Okay, right?
I've never heard of them, I think something like this. Yeah, what is the little difference, okay? The difference is this. If you heard of the whole shabang potato chips, the chances are that you would have gone to jail in the US.
Okay. That's because the chips are not sold in stores. They're called jail chips, meaning they are produced and sold exclusively for America's prisoners. They're literally, they make all kinds of things, which are exclusively, you know, for prisoners.
Oh, okay. And this is one of the things. Okay, so what's the special about them? The unique thing is this, that people who, you know, who have eaten them, they would be prisoners.
Once they get out of jail, they get insanely sort of nostalgic policies. And they go nuts, trying to get those chips back. Seriously? Yeah.
So, you know, they'll try looking on, and there's no way you can get them other than from the prison. So someone will carry a few packs out and sell them a rebate or things like that. And, you know, that's why they call jail chips. And they taste very unique, apparently.
They're described as a combination of salt and vinegar and barbecue seasoning and a little bit of every other flavor ever. It sounds like some of the chips you get on. Last day, shall we? No.
No, dangerous thing. They are red for chili powder and all that. Anyway, there is a whole fan club out there, and ex-convex are simply obsessed by them. And driven by their desire for the chips, apparently unrivaled taste, formerly incarcerated snackers, jailbuds that is, have set up Facebook fan pages, message boards, and auctions on eBay, trying to snag a bag on the outside.
Yeah. So NBC interviewed several people. So one of them was a former prisoner named Terry Workman. And he said, you won't find another potato chip that packs more of puns than the whole shebang, right?
He described as one of the chips biggest fan. That's the background. Are you sure there's not some sort of stock comes in Rome or something? No, no, no.
He's being wacked in prison and he gets one chip and that's like heaven to him. And then he falls in love with it, in relation to everything else that's happening around him. That's entirely possible. But the lengths that these people go to to get a pack of chips after their bag, the things that they do with them are really.
So the interview is rather nice. What this guy does, the interview does is he lines up at this Terry Workman's house and he lives in a small community outside of Pittsburgh. And Terry Workman makes something for this guy, which he used to have in jail. What that is, it's called a soup, it's a soup called chichi.
Oh, okay. And they show the recipe. The recipe is like this. You take a bag of this, shebang whole shebang chips, okay?
You open the bag, remove all the chips out, don't throw the bag away. And then they add, because all the balsala is inside, right? So they add noodles to it, baggy noodle kind of noodles, they call them rambent in the US. They add some chopped sausages, some beef, whatever, some cheese.
They add hot sauce and they put a little bit of, you know, in prison you don't get a stove. So you get boiling water. So they add that boiling water. In the same packet, that's how they seal it and throw it into the blanket.
So the heat stays in it and leave it for five or ten minutes. It cooks, the whole thing becomes one, like goo-e-mez and the chips, which were removed, that's put in a bowl. This mess is put on the bowl and they eat it. And the facial expressions are like, you know, they totally think it is Michelin three star.
They're all right. Pule roki, smoothie, all right. Yeah, total. And so this, they, you know, they, so this interview, so very nice touch.
The interview was actually contacted a company which manufactures this. And he's got a sort of little briefcase full of these chips and he gives it to them as a present. And the joy of the face of those three people is, it's like, oh my God. Oh my God.
Yeah. And the thing is this, the company that manufactures these chips, okay, it's not a mobile operation. It has barely, or it has actually more than a billion dollars of B, okay, a billion dollars of turnover. Wow.
And they still haven't decided to come out to the market with it. So at the type of recording this, I just saw the internet that they're planning to sell it online. That means that I actually do see it on Amazon US where they have 13, the average rating is 3.8 out of five stars. Okay, so it's not great.
It's not great, but if you have any doubt about whether these are the original jail chips, they can be like all doubts will melt away after you start reading the first review. My former inmate friend claims that. But yeah, I think this is just selling on hype right now over here because this news is pretty big. It's one of those buzzfeed worthy things.
So yeah, so there is hope for those of us who lack sufficient enterprise to work away into US. I'm actually going by the way people get thrown into jail. It's the easiest thing in the world in the US, right? Anything, you cross the road wrong, you take a wrong turn, anything can get you to jail.
Or you could just be black with me. You don't need to do anything else. So anyway, that wonder food, Maggie Noodles of course could be used in place of the ramen and one of the chapata chips available on my hardware station. I'm seriously going to try that.
This is so very good. You take Maggie Noodles, you take these chips and you sort of cook the Maggie Noodles, pour it out the chips. My only problem is I don't know how the hell I'm going to get it passed by my wife's eyes because she's putting me on a ragi to diet or something like that. Yeah, so all these things are absolutely sinful.
So I started a life concert, I was a little cold also to boot. I eat all these things, I probably, yeah. On that very morbid note, actually I wanted to say bye, but I just thought, I would actually look at why potato chips are so damn addictive. Yeah, that's a very interesting girl.
It is actually, so in 1912, there was this French chemist who obviously, if you were a judge, would have been called. My lad, my lad, my lad. He's like, Jeromke Jerom. So he discovered that certain sugars with a bit of heat and amino acid create a very, very pleasant scent, which really gets, which hits your, the pleasure centers of your brain and gets you salivating.
And other scientists started working on this and they started figuring out reactions where they were mixing chemical products and natural products together with heat. And they created what they, and these reactions were called My lad reaction products. And they started becoming so popular, as in obviously, so you had multi-billion dollar companies or eventual multi-billion dollar companies like Coke and Nestle and Lays who were obsessed with manipulating My lad reaction products or as they were a community abbreviated in MRPs. So these companies were obsessed with manipulating MRPs in more ways than one.
So about 2000 chemicals and 5000 natural flavors makes it way to most of these companies labs. Wow. And it's not just a taste, it's even the texture. Like when you're eating a Cheetos for instance, it may, because it's so light, you almost feel like a high zero calories.
There's a lot of thought behind every aspect of this. So I was reading this article about how potatoes actually work and why it works so well. It starts with a salt, which is right out there, which gives you that instant sort of gratification because it goes to your, it goes right to the pleasure center and you're like, oh, okay, something interesting is happening over here. And this is called the flavor burst apparently, the food industry calls it.
And then it's all about the feeling after that. And here this is something really interesting. There's a fat, okay, the potato chips are of course soaked in fat and fat is actually not a taste. It's a feeling, you know that when you get a cheese sandwich and just biting into the cheese that, okay, I'm just doing it right now.
But that whole thing, you just want that sensation and that feeling is basically a mouth feel. Fat is a mouth feel more than a taste. And that's something that's really, really addictive. And of course, there's also sugar, not that it's, not that sugar is as such added to chips, but the sugar in most chips are the starch in the potato itself, hence the carbs and the bad pot.
And so yeah, you've got all three extremely healthy things with this salt sugar and a lot of the bad fat. We'll get into an argument about the good fat in another episode because I'm a huge believer in the low carbohydrate diet, but the bad fat, the salt and the sugar. So, and all these bad things come together to give you a huge dopamine boost, which is why you can't resist potato chips. So when Lays says you just can't eat one, you can't eat just one.
There's actually basically a lot of scientific knowledge. So yeah, on that GP note, we shall end this shorty, which has been a little longer than a shorty, but. And apologize once again for my cold. And that's, yeah, so everyone right into the ring wish him all the best of health.
I should make a career out of seeking cycles on this. Oh, I got all the, I'll be here, I'll be here. So, okay, before I'm running the Lambo's in falsely, bye everybody, we'll see you next week. I'll be fine.
Bye, bye, bye, bye. Bye, I take care of you.
