Frito-Lay Angrily Offers Health Food
It's a shame when a notorious snack food company tries to pull a fast one on us with a mildly healthier alternative to their general crap. So, I have to say, it's quite refreshing to see an honest marketing message:
"Here," said Frito-Lay CEO Al Carey as he disgustedly tossed a bag of the company's new Flat Earth-brand snack crisps onto the lectern during a meeting with shareholders and members of the press. "Here's some shit that's made from beets. I hope you're all happy now that you have your precious beet chips with the recommended daily serving of fruit, or vegetables, or whatever the hell a 'beet' is."
This has to be a joke.

I posted this at Treehugger and I'm posting it here ... The Onion is FAKE news ... Frito-Lay has no such product.
