If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my life it’s that people will do anything for money, fame, or sex.  But for a bag of Frito Lays? Well yes, apparently that fits into the same category for some people out there.

Sue Smith a 36-year-old woman from Oklahoma, agreed to accept a box of Frito-Lay chips in exchange for oral sex. John Faron Johnson, a Frito-Lay employee who participated in this trade, didn’t have money but she agreed to do the deed anyway, as long as she got her hands on those chips. I mean, pretty sweet deal on John’s part, but a BJ for some corn chips!?

I hope she enjoyed those things, because Sue was ordered to pay a $1,142 fine as a result of a prostitution charge. Yes, BJs for chips is considered prostitution.

Sue got me thinking. I can tell you one thing for sure, although I am a fan of those Frito-Lays (bbq are the BEST) I would not trade sex for them. Here are some things that I’d say would make a fair deal.

A day at the spa
It’s difficult to splurge on things these days with our not-so-hot economy, especially when it comes to things like manicures and pedicures. You feel stupid for wasting all that money when you can paint your own nails at home. So yeah, if someone were to give me an entire day at the spa with a manicure, pedicure, massage, and facial all included, I’d totally be down (pun intended). Read More »

100-Calorie Packs are the new Starbucks Skinny Latte. They are taking over the world, one grocery store shelf at a time. Though these snacks are making bank for Kraft Foods, Nabisco, Frito Lay, and every other conglomerate on the single-serving bandwagon, there has been some recent media backlash, which brings to light the fact that:

a) The 100-calorie packs are often more than twice as expensive per ounce as the products they mimic.

b) In meeting the 100-calorie limit, the snacks or sweets inside the packs are sometimes pale imitations of the originals. The 100-calorie Oreos, for example, are 20 mini “chocolate thin crisps.”

c) Smaller portions don’t make snacks good for you, especially when they are as highly-processed as 100-Cal Packs.

Still, as Americans, we have issues with self-control. I can go through a box of Cheez-Its in three days and think nothing of it, until I look at the box and realize I averaged about 5 servings of Cheez-Its a day. So, when a small package helps me know when to stop, I dig it. I do agree with above comment on the 100-calorie Oreos: these are a waste of money. So, friends, what follows is a list of my top five picks. All of these are so tasty, I thank my lucky stars that they are measured out for me in 100 calorie intervals. Read More »
