I just paid $24,31 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic GF 1 Camera that we got for $34,26 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 42 inch LED TV to my boss for $678 which only cost me $68,18 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, CentSpace.com

Even though some of them sound good, in my opinion and for my taste, there is nothing in the world that can replace potato . They are my diet breaker every time. Thanks for the suggestions however.

I don't think kids that are accustomed to eating potato chips on a daily basis are going to give any of these snacks a chance. If you want kids to eat this kind of food, you have to get them started on it early.

Might as well try something different. The health nazis have ruined good potatoe chips by forcing the makers to eliminate salt and oils from the chip recipes. Talk about bland. Even the flavored chips ah blah now.

This list, as with most of these health lists they put out, are ridiculous and filled with hearsay. "May lower this, could help with that." Fact is, puffed grains (popcorn, grains used in energy bars) are poisonous to your body. Do some research please before writing articles.

UhHuh: Since you ask the author of this article to do some research, could you prove that YOU have done any research and show where "puffed grains" are somehow poisonous?

Or to put it another way, show where YOU did some research before making what is most likely a very absurd claim.

@Madelynn: People whom are older then 12. :P Anyway, have you tried anything other then the popcorn? Maybe you should before you judge all of them other then the popcorn to be absurd. I'm not saying that everything on this list is something I'd eat either, but I've also had things similar to most of the items on this list too.
