Clamato Tortilla Chips!

I know I've written at length at how appalled I was at the idea of Clamato in the past, but I think I've softened. When I visited Toronto last year, a few friends introduced me to the "Bloody Caesar," Canada's favorite cocktail, which takes the tomato juice out of the Bloody Mary and replaces it with Clamato. I'm not saying I've run out to buy gallons of the stuff since, but it's no longer to the point where I can't look at a bottle of it in fear of nausea. With that testimonial out the way, I'd like to formally introduce you to Clamato tortilla chips, followed by several exclamation points inside parenthesis.

They're honestly not bad. I detected no clam presence, with the chips feeling more like "tomato juice chips," so heavily salted that they could've very well been forged with snake broth and nobody would notice. I kind of wish they were gross because it'd make for a more interesting story, but I think the mere fact that Clamato has been realized as a tortilla chip is story enough. By the way, this is your Saturday Night Thread.

Oh, no. That’s not right. Drinking tomato juice as a beverage isn’t right, spiking tomato juice with mollusk juice isn’t right, and coagulating that abominable mixture into tortilla chips isn’t right. Truly, this is a sign of the end times.

Takes a big man to admit he’s changed his mind. :)
Happy Saturday everybody.

Wow, Clamato chips? That’s completely unexpected. I really do enjoy tomato juice, though. It is particularly tasty on macaroni- sort of a super low budget non-chunky tomato sauce. Funny how I can’t stand tomato(e)s, however.

Considering the way that processed foods are produced, I wonder if there is any actual Clamato in the chips. Though I suppose that’s the same as wondering how much cheese is in a Cheeto. Any way you look at it, no good can come from this.

I’m known for hating things with a fiery passion before trying them out, inevitably loving them with all my heart. The latest in this tradition is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Used to hate it, now I love it.

Okay, now onto story time. Some of you know that I post on the SNT while at work. Not 10 minutes ago I got a call from a guy claiming to have had great success with one of our products (a blanket for newborns). Then, out of nowhere, he starts talking about how his girlfriend’s sister is fond of feeding the child from a tube top – just rolling it down and "letting those 43 DDDs hang out for the world to see." At this point I started to get a little weirded-out, since we’ve gotten perverts calling in the past. Sure enough, he starts talking about how much he loves it and how he goes over all the time. Then he starts asking me how normal this is, and do I like chicks, and if so, do I like big…you know. After about 45 seconds, I hung up.

Feel free to relate your bizarre customer service stories here…as long as I’m not threadjacking…didn’t really see a topic.

What..um….what is there to say to Clamato chips?

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 07/22/2006 8:03 PM

Ah, there’s no such thing as threadjacking on a SNT. Informal surveys give the conversation direction.

The strangest request I’ve ever gotten at the library is somebody asking if we had their boxers in the lost and found. After a moment of consideration, I decided not to ask them why they had lost their underwear in the library. There are some stones better left unturned. Oh, and their boxers were not, in fact, in the lost and found. For which I shall be enternally grateful.

I was introduced to these a few weeks ago as they started stocking them in the vending machines at work. Basically I was sitting at my desk and this emo kid I worked with came up to me dangling a red tortilla above my head and went, "Eat this." It does indeed taste like a tomato soup tortilla chip.

I saw some Limited Edition Pringles the other day… 2 or 3 of them. One looked rather spicy, and I didn’t recognize the flavor as it appeared Spanish. I’m sure it loosely translated to "ass fire." I went with the nice, safe, Cheesy Quesadilla. They really taste like cheesy quesadillas! I shared them with my dude friend at work, which I think makes up nicely for my shooting him in the eye during a rubber band war later in the day.

Clamato sounds like the name of an STD. Is anyone else having trouble logging into yahoo messenger? Since I have no money or cigarettes (still) I’m desperate for people to talk to. My AIM name is phunqsauce. Feel free to mock me and throw shit at me. I’m bored…….

I’M GONNA DRINK!

Chestnuts roasted by G-Dog @ 07/22/2006 8:16 PM

Mystie,

Is a "Dude Friend" the guy that you flirt with all day at work and then don’t have anything to do with after 5:00? Like Pam and Jim on The Office (at least through most of the 2nd season, never finished it…)? If so, I’d just like to say that that’s the worst thing ever.

If not, my apologies. Sorry, just been messed with by too many of those types.

Chestnuts roasted by Kyle @ 07/22/2006 8:21 PM

Kyle

Not really, he’s this fanboy with freak eyes (one is black, the other is light brown). I used to flirt with him all the time until I confronted him about never asking me out, but apparently he just got out of a bad relationship. Now we just bust on each other all day.

Such is the drama of working for the worst online store ever.

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 07/22/2006 8:35 PM

I’m not really THAT desperate to talk to someone but all of my friends are too busy not hanging out with me…..

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 07/22/2006 8:46 PM

Clamato chips, eh?
"The movie-night snack of Satan", methinks.

Chestnuts roasted by Somethin' Funny @ 07/22/2006 8:49 PM

A) Having two differently colored eyes is hardly freaky; in fact, it’s quite an interesting and rare trait. My sister has one brown and one green.

B) $1000 bucks says he still thinks it’s flirting.

KYLE, GET THEE TO ITUNES AND WATCH THE END OF THAT SEASON YOU DEPRIVED FOOL!
Sorry, it’s just that if you’re bittered by Pam types you should catch the last few eps, you might feel better, or at least give Pam a break. Same applies to the entire British series.
I have many many customer horror stories. I think everybody who’s worked CS has dozens of the boring things. My fav is from years ago…A dude was freaking on me for whatever reason, with angry emails that ironically had a heartwarming Winnie the Pooh quote as the signature. I asked him to email his order confirmation…he emailed one, all right, but instead of a receipt for inkjet cartridges, I get a receipt from http://www.biggercockclub.com. It wasn’t a gag, it was a real receipt with a credit card and transaction ID. I checked the url, and the receipt was for the exact amount of some kind of weiner cream. I emailed back explaining that he had forwarded the wrong receipt, and I never heard back from him again. I still have the emails somewhere.

squee that is too funny!!!! ha ha ha!!! (i think the lack of nicotine is making me loony)

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 07/22/2006 9:18 PM

Oh, make no mistake, I am not a bitter office romance reject. I just find that sort of behavior to be repulsive.

And as much as I’d love to see the rest of the season, I no longer have a home computer, and the one at work (which I’m currently using) is monitored pretty closely. In fact, I just requested the use of iTunes the other day (in order to play my iPod at work) but the request was denied. Tis the suck.

Chestnuts roasted by Kyle @ 07/22/2006 9:22 PM

Since I have nothing to say about clam chips and wild sex-capades, I will only say, Squee, I responded to you on the last thread.
To the rest of you, you sicken me. :) Happy SNT.

Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 07/22/2006 9:29 PM

I love Caesars and Marys. Anyway, where’s that article you said you were working on!?! Don’t be holdin’ out on me now, Matt!

Meh. I’m sure you have a good excuse. Anyway, later.

Chestnuts roasted by Nate @ 07/22/2006 9:34 PM

I was going to include a note here saying that I was writing it as we speak, but then everyone would call me a liar because I’ve been saying that for two weeks already. :)

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 07/22/2006 9:35 PM

need………..nicotine……….

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 07/22/2006 9:55 PM

I will not be posting in tonight’s SNT thread.

Dohopoki- Too late. You already have.

Chestnuts roasted by Nate @ 07/22/2006 10:14 PM

I never used to like ceasars, but the oen they have at the spaghetti factory in Toronto on is very good.

TOns of tobasco and Pepper Vodka, that’s how to make a ceasar.
