Chef’s Note: This has nothing to do with comic books, food, archaeology, or history, but I still feel easily – indeed most expertly – qualified as a person with common sense in offering the following advice: If you are seeking to become a career criminal, consider not getting a vanity license plate for your vehicle that states: HITNRN
Chef’s Note: Here we discover that Hulk, in addition to beans, tacos, and sammiches, is also a culinary enthusiast of potato chips (a.k.a. Saratoga Chips for all you old school rockers).
That said, there is the question of what this Deja Chew brand is all about? The bag label, after all, is displayed most clearly, despite the surrounding chaos. I’ve never heard of it – have you?
Oh wait… I remember now: Deja Chew are time-distorting potato chips engineered by a megalomanical despot:
The Iron Man of the future comes back in time to help our heroes fight Kang the Conqueror, who rules the future via a vast fortune acquired though his potato chip company. Yeah – potato chips. But these aren’t just run-of-the-mill potato chips, these are nano-temporal-potato chips…engineered so that if you ever eat one, the timestream forces you to eat them again for every single meal, forever. It’s Iron Man, Spider-Man and the Hulk against an army of past and future warriors, and a bag of potato chips to boot!
I love comic books.
Chef’s Note: Happy National Potato Chip Day!
