HIMALAYAN SEA SALT POTATO CHIPS
Yes, it is oxymoron-ic to claim that your potato chip product is seasoned with Himalayan sea salt, since the Himalayas constitute a mountain range, not an ocean. And, that mountain range does not touch any seas. Even the claim that these crisps are cooked in pure avocado oil does not persuade me. I suppose they might be re-branding Bangladeshi sea salt for obvious reasons. Salt harvested next to rusting container ships would not appeal.
This does tell us about the depth of greed-motivated lying in our Western capitalism. Deregulation is the banner word for today's Libertarian entrepreneurs. The same young people who would stone the politically incorrect to death in a virtual public square (Facebook) would gladly lie to you about toxins in their innovative product. Exploding smart phones are a great example.
So, the hipster potato chip company out of the Pacific Northwest of the U.S., where human snowflakes are abundant, has decided to join in the fun. Perhaps they should have placed a photo of a Sherpa with a surf board on the bag.
