There were 40 bags of ketchup chips in the back of Rich Lieberman's vintage army jeep when he left Niagara Falls, Ont., with his son Jacob in July.

But in recent weeks, the American father-son pair have received more than they could ever have imagined.

"We have way too much," Lieberman posted to Facebook in mid-August.

That headline took me about 4 tries to parse.

“We have way too much,” Lieberman posted to Facebook in mid-August.

They wouldn't have said that if they had All-Dressed/Assaisonnées chips instead. There is no such thing as "way too much" of those.

Some day I'll be able to track some of those down in the US, I'm on a border state too and thought it'd be easy

I've found All Dressed chips at Aldi in the US

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They did get sent some all-dressed. His son still preferred ketchup-flavoured instead.
