USC vs. UCLA Chips
Do people really care THIS much?
I've never been much of a sports fan, and the cross-town UCLA vs. USC rivalry always kind of confused me. Wouldn't it be more fun if the two schools liked each other and had fun parties together, and maybe even created a Los Angeles all-star team by bringing their top players together for Olympic-style football? I guess that's why women have such a rare place in politics - we'd be doing too much teambuilding and socializing, not even war.
I do have a stake in the matter - I went to UCLA for both undergrad and grad school. But somehow I can't ever see myself in the grocery store, coming across UCLA chips and thinking "Hell YES! I've GOT to have these! And let's smash all the USC chips into smitherines!"
I could understand if they actually gave each chip a different flavour... then I could line them up side-by-side and tell you who'd have the better season, based solely on the taste of blue corn vs. red corn. But no, it's just red food coloring vs. blue food coloring, and that's not very interesting for a food lover OR a football fan.

Two words. Trojan Pride. ;)
I would SO buy these USC Cardinal and Gold Chips with my salsa and cheese for this week's upcoming game! It's all about the BBQ tailgate, right before the game!
Albertson's got them, eh? I'll be making my trip later this week! hehehe!
i'm with you, CC...as a fellow UCLA alum, i'd go for the blue chips hands down! (not that i'd actually buy them though) ;)
Go Bruins! Wooooo~!
Actually, I'm an Anteater, but Cat's father is a Bruin. Ancestors protect me if I should I ever root for the red and gold. =)

I'm gonna say it now...UCLA people are not gonna be waisting $$$ on colored chips. I'd rather buy tacos with that money.
USC people on the other hand....
GO BRUINS!
if pinkberry came out with pink chips, omigod, i'd totally buy those! think pink!
I bleed Scarlet & Grey...chips that is...
i think it comes down to a question of artificial food coloring. although i'm a bruin alum, i must say that the red chips look a bit more palatable. kind of like how the 'SC football team makes winning look good while UCLA tends to win ugly.
People do care. We have a bag of USC chips sitting proudly in our kitchen.
As a former Bruin, I am not sure how I feel about that, but that's the kind of stuff that happens when you are married to a Trojan.
I have a feeling the USC chips are more popular because those people are like some kind of weird cult with their school.
I tend to agree with Jeni, which is why I will not be purchasing any blue chips. That and my desire to not eat blue food. (Although blue corn is all right, but those look too blue to be blue corn).
Anyone else shit green after eating a whole bag? this is not a joke i am totally serious...
