The Great Chips and Salsa Imbalance Problem: What Does Era Think

[makonero]

We've all been there. A lazy Sunday afternoon, you're feeling peckish and you decide to pour yourself some salsa and have some tortilla chips. You watch some TV and look down; there's still a sizeable number of chips left, but you've run out of salsa!

What do you do, ERA?

I tend to get more salsa and then be generous with the salsa on the next few chips to try and get as close to chip/salsa equilibrium. I will admit that I occasionally get stuck in the Chip and Salsa Infinite Imbalance Loop but usually run out of salsa or chips before the loop ruins my life completely.

Shred some cheese on those chips and microwave them.

I would never run out of salsa first as I only like a small amount on each chip, with more cheese and sour cream then salsa. So I said eat the chips sans salsa, since I often do that anyways.

I do my best to make sure both run out at the same time. Failing that, I'll get more salsa.

No salsa, I stops eating

To quote the Buddha, "To reach true enlightenment is to accept that there will always be a difference between the amount of chips and the amount of salsa."

For me it depends on the quality of chips. If I've got some shitty chips that the salsa makes better, I'll get more salsa. If I've got delicious chips, then I'll just eat the chips sans salsa.

Get more salsa or just enjoy the chips

 

[Westbahnhof]

I like eating my chips raw.

I don't actually buy chips and salsa, but if I found myself in this predicament I would just finish the chips plain

option 6: pace yourself better to never get into this situation

Buy chips and salsa. When one runs out, you will have a replacement.

 

[Heart of Poumn]

Running out of salsa first is fine. Chips on their own is still good.

Now is the chips run out first, I have salsa just sitting there. That's a problem you remedy with more chips.

 

[jotun?]

Put the chips back in the bag

 

[Clefargle]

Hold the salsa

Don't eat chips and salsa in the first place. I dislike the taste of those commercial dipping salsas. Put some hot sauce directly on your chips and eat them that way instead. Tastier and problem free.
