Potato Sticks
An ode to potato sticks
If this snack was a drug I’d have to take a hit.
Life just ain’t life for me without a jar of potato sticks.
Trust and believe when I get em, I’ve got em’.
I don’t stop devouring the can until I see the bottom.
When potato sticks first caught my eyes I thought I was looking at snack style fries.
They might be little shards but they pack a big taste and they have a way of putting big smiles on a face.
They say don’t play with sticks. I didn’t but what about if I ate the stick?
That’s not a problem because I love my potato sticks.

Salty and crispy- the perfect snack!
Be careful, Joe. You can put out an eye with one of those sticks.
I remember this snack. Loved them back when and now when I can find them. Great memories this snack brings back. Congrats on top story.
You’ve taken me back to a long forgotten snack that I always loved finding hidden in my lunch sack. Congratulations on Top Story!
Man, I used to love those! Thanks for the memory, Joe! These days, I buy Veggie Straws with sea salt, because they're, you know, "healthy." Once I open the "family size" bag, they're as good as gone.
This is great, Joe. We had something very similar. They look just like these, but they come in a bag. They're called Hickory Sticks. I loved them.
I forgot about those!! 😋 Nice job!
Wonderful ode to Potato Sticks!!! Love this!!!💕❤️❤️
