What's mildly irritating you today?

Time has a way of changing our perceptions. And things you loved as a kid, often turn out to be no big deal or even fairly heinous when you revisit it as an adult.

Due to my Crohn's disease, I haven't had potato chips since the 80s. With the surgery, I've been able to eat things that would have caused problems before, so yesterday I bought a bag of Lays potato chips.

What a disappointment. I remember enjoying potato chips, but these things were just nasty. Most of the chips were made from potatoes that obviously hadn't lived right - definitely undersized. Most of the chips had potato skin on them. Many of them were overcooked (brown rather than golden). And they weren't very crispy.

Maybe there's better potato chips out there, but my current attitude is meh.
